I think it looks better in satin black for your ride.

To tell the truth, i think they are decent looking, but their up for sale. Im going back to my stock 00 WS.6 wheels. I want to have something that resembles traction again, and my 00 rears are 11" wide.

Anyone have more pictures of RPM 505's? I really want chrome wheels but I feel like mesh style wheels in chrome gets too busy. The silver with the polished lip is nice just don't know what to do for my NBM WS6.

^^Mesh style wheels look awesome in Trans Ams, specially WS6 or ones with the Ram Air hood. However I would not go with chrome wheels for your ride. Silver and aluminum finishes would look great in your car.

Ya I hear you man, your car really convinced me to go with some HP's or RPM's over some C5 DD which is a weak lip compared to the others. I'm gonna have to sleep on it as I like the new Z06 spyder wheels as well. If only picking wheels was easy.. Beatutiful car Chaman.

^I read somewhere before they weighed like 26 lbs per wheel and they equated it at maybe 10 whp loss. Not bad for an LS1 but that will be more noticeable on the V6 and I know how slow they are as I had one.

RPM offers a 5x120.7 bolt pattern, that would be perfect for an F-body correct? Chaman did you go with the staggered look or you have the same size on all 4?
