Default Thinking of selling my brand new 19" RPM 505's to get some FM5's or Street Lites

I love the New RPM 505's in the 19" staggered fitment, but I really like the street lites too. I don't like the center caps but I think they look close enough to the FM5's I used to have.

I guess if someone wanted to trade I would... I think 17's are for me on the Fbodys. I ran 19's on my Z06, but I like a little more meat on the Fbods...

What do you guys think?

Your right, I am just partial to aluminum. Especially on the silver cars. I feel like the silver wheels get washed out by the paint.

I also wish they stuck out more. I could go with spacers...

if anyone has used spacers let me know. I found some 20mm spacers, I could install longer studs and use the et style lug nuts

your's looked sweet, but you didn't lower your car did you?

Could you post some pics of what your car looked like?

One thing I didn't like about our tires was that the didn't have that little rim protector that hung over the wheel.

Post some close ups

I am going to do the smart thing, keep the wheels. Get a tire for it and lower it. Then add some longer wheel studs and some fat spacers so the tires will sit flush with the fenders.

Then with the money I was going to blow on more tires etc, I am going to buy a nice German hand made watch. Something I have been craving.

Sinn watches by the way guys, they make watches at the same level of quality as the "big names" ie Breitling, IWC, etc etc

They make a bad *** watch like the Rolex daytona
