RPM 505 vs ADR M-Classic 42 I'm in a bit of a dilemna here. I was about ready to order a set of 19" ADR M Classic wheels off ebay for $350. With shipping it comes to about $560. I started reading threads on here on the RPM 505 and the lip on them seems much bigger. The offset on the ADR's is 15mm which is acceptable but the 20mm on the RPM wheels will make me have to buy some spacer/adaptors.
So what i'm looking for is some advice from those that have purchased both of these types of rims. The cheapest I found the RPM 505's was for $165 each, this comes to $660 for the set(19x8.5) plus shipping of $66. Total price for the wheels comes to $726 and then I'd have to buy spacers for about $150+shipping. Is there a cheaper source for these wheels?
Here are some comparison pics of the wheels, I'm putting them on a '78 trans am. The 15mm offset is known to fit but it's pushing it. The 8.5" at 15mm gives me 5.34" backspacing, the 20mm would be 5.34, if I step up to a 9.5" wheel it would be 6.03" backspacing which just ain't gonna happen not to mention the wheels would be inset too much.
