Ordered some RPM 505 wheels!! I finally decided to order some RPM 505 wheels for my black Z28.I eneded up going with the Black'Machined lip for the finish.I only ordered 2 18x9 wheels for now,I plan on going 18x9 all around but may get 19's for the rear I'm not sure yet.I think the 19's flow better with a trans am and the 18's go better with the camaro.I've had the chrome z28 stockers on for over a year so I didn't want chrome,and I also have a set of silver stockers as well.I paid 350 with free shipping which is a pretty good price,I'll get the next 2 wheels next paycheck(2 weeks).
I've did alot of searching but couldn't really find that many camaros with these wheels,I did have my mind set on a set of Torq Thrust, but once i seen the RPMs on some camaros I knew I had to get me some.Now i just gotta wait patiently til i get all the rims in and put them on.

U can google RPM 505 wheels and look at pics on there,I dont have pics of my wheels in person though,they should be in by Friday according to fedex.I searched around a while and although I did find some pics of these wheels on a 98-02 camaro I didn't find many.I found a bunch a trans ams with them though,they seem to be more common on TA's of rather than camaros.

i love the RPM 505's only one problem
i want something that is 17x(9 or 9.5) front, 18x(10 to 11) rear.
sadly rpm doesn't provide such numbers hell i would get 18" front 19" rear just that they don't have enough width.

I am in the market for new wheels and happened to find mention of these. Then found this thread and picks of chaman's car, which is very similar to mine. These look really nice. Any specific reason you went with with 9.5 all the way around? Which tires? How much is it lowered, or is just look lowered because of the 19s? Feel free to PM me if you'd rather. Thanks!

Went with these because of the big lip and ease of tire rotation when all 4 are the same. Tires are 275/30/19. Its lowered aprox 1" with BMRs and KYB adjustable shocks.

Those sound like good things to me too. What's the drawback, are there mods to make that fit up front or clearance issues? I have G2 springs and the drop is more than 1". Wonder if these would fit anyway...
