got the opportunity to trade for a set of RPM 505s with good tires... my tts are polished and in outstanding shape... TTs look so damn good but everyone has them.. RPMs arent so common... Opinions?

They look good but if you put that big of a wheel on it, there is not much room for a beefy tire in the back without modding the fenders.

It looks good. But will be a pain in the *** too keep the chrome clean and won't be able too fit a good sized tire in the back to be able to hook.

The wheel itself looks OK, but the chrome makes it look cheap.

If you think it looks sick, then trade.

I personally wouldn't trade. Instead I'd get 17x11 rear tt2s.

They look good, but do you value ride quality or aesthetics? You'll up the harshness with considerably less side wall on a 19.

I have HP evos on my red ws6 and love them. I love these rims on these cars. Look at chaman car. There is a thread of these wheels on here. I would say yes. Tt2 look great but the rpm 505 make it look so bad ***.

What kind of fender mods are you talking about?

Well, I ended up trading... these are in wonderful condition and sit well on the car.. it needs to come down about an inch all the way around to fill the well like I want... Ill clean the car up a bit and take some pics tomorrow.. Im going to hit the chrome with a walnut shell media from my blaster and knock off the shine in the center spokes and leave the lip chrome... Ill probably do the centers in black plastidip and see what kind of look Im going for...

You made the right decision. I think that blasting the centers is a great idea too!

Yea, I know.. I just wanted to see what they say.. I was gonna do it regardless... I think the look is nice.. These have been done before but far less common than the TTs... If I get tired of them, Im going to go with some MIRO 111s... Only seen 3 or 4 with those rims...
