Default pics of my 19" chrome rpm 505, thoughts??

i installed my new street wheels, staggered 19x9.5 in the rear and 19x8.5 in the front
I had always wanted these wheels in grey but came across a smoking deal on these locally. my other drag wheels are 15" fbody spec billet specialties street lites. the car is driven on a few occasions a month im torn if i should keep them what do you think.

Both look good but I think the BS street lites look better. 19s don't look good without the right stance IMO.

Just being honest but I disagree. To pull off 19s you have to be low. Of course oerformance and handling is another discussion in itself, but looks wise he is way too high for those 19s. Looks beautiful with the street lites though.

I think they look great but the angle of that shot my be why some are hating. Perhaps an outside sunny low angle shot, killer though, IMHO. Any rubbing?

i think they look great,i agree i think the pics are just not showing the wheels off to well, can ya take a few more pics, both wheels look badass, drag set up will always be everyones main choice but honest after driving on a drag setup for the past 2 years i cant wait to get a more street set up, car looks great man, its a toss up on tech , another member can post the same wheels ,same car,height etc a month from now and everyone would love them,

thanks, for the feedback. The front is lowered and so was the rear but with 28" drag radials the rear quarter slices into the tires. Also the pictures show no shadows with the newly painted white floor at my job so thats why it looks taller than it is

holy wheel gap^

I like the BS set up way better. Those look good to though, but if you rarely drive the car I would just sell them.

Looks good. I always thought chrome mesh wheels would be too busy but it looks good. A better stance would look killer but thats already been covered.
