To me, it appears that the center piece curves outwards more, where as the EVO wheel is more straight giving a nicer overall look. Also, evo's come with a mirror polished lip where as the RPM wheel comes with a half assed polishing job.
Well of course there different, but your still looking at 2 different set of wheels that are similar to eachother. If you cant afford the Evo's, then get the closest looking wheels to them (RPM 505's) for cheaper.

I never said I couldn't afford them. I was simply pointing out the differences. Anyways. I called HP and spoke with John over there. He said 19's are 205 per rim and will be availble in May.

Sorry about that, i worded my last post wrong. I didnt mean that you couldnt afford them, i meant to say that if someone cant afford them. Then why not get the closest thing to them for a cheaper price.

I keep looking at my setup and curious if anyone has put big brakes behind these. I am looking at a few diff kits with 14" rotors to fill it up a bit more but just worried about caliper clearance. Anyone have any input?

Im going to have the ones I buy blasted and coated all black. Might go with the 18's, the 19's might be a little too big for the all black look imo.



This plus a WS6 hood

All I would do to a set of 505's is get the lip polished to a mirror like finish.

Did you manage to get some more info bud? I spoke with that Johnny guy and could barely understand/hear him plus he seemed like he was in a rush. Anything else to report?
