Default RPM 505s on a white T/A?

I'm seriously considering a set of these, but want to see them on a white car before I bite the bullet if possible. Any pics with any finish will do, as I'm undecided between chrome and hypersilver, and even thinking of gloss black. Thanks in advance.

I think outside the box lol jk your off on a good start tho!

Hmm let's see, HP Evo, I've seen my fair share of both Camaro and TA's with them.
So mesh style wheel equals bad ***...
Clean fbody, of any color also bad ***... Combine the two... Winnar....

Here is my old SS with hyper silver 18" HP EVOS.



Now, 1.33333 seconds of searching led me to this...

Thanks, and I've searched and all of this, but I can't seem to find images of white cars with them. Thanks for your posts though! Both of those cars look awesome!

Also, is it cool to wait a few months on lowering if I put 18s on? Or will it look too much like it's time to go "muddin"?

In my sig is a set of HP evos I had painted black. I can post more pics if you would like. I sold the rims since they were to large 19" so I bought some ccw classics 18" awaiting for spring time install. Another thing these were extremely heavy, actually the heaviest set I ever installed on a fbody.

IMO the RPMs look weird in 18 inches. 19s look just right. Id be running them on mine if I didnt have the spyders. I plan on running 19x12s by the end of the year

I have a feeling the silver is going to look awful on a white car.

And yes 19" are to big the tires look like rubberbands. Fbodys already ride like crap and 19'' dont help and add weight. When i put the stock firehawk rims back on it drove like a caddi. If u do any wheels go 18" imo
