RPM 505's are in
 
Got my new 18" RPM 505's in today. I needed new tires so I went ahead and got wheels too:D It got dark before I had time to mount them up. I should have some pics up soon! Now I get to burn off the old tires:devil:

^search RPM 505s. A lot of people run them youll find a good amount of pictures on different cars.

will do

from looking at the wheelsnext.com site, those wheels are 18x8 and 18x9. I thought the factory wheels were 17x9. Just wondering why you would go narrower on the front? these are the exact wheels that I am looking at for my Silver WS6 but was always concerned about narrowing up the wheel. I would love to see these on your car. Please post pics.

CLA803 Feb 19, 2011 01:13 PM

there are a lot of pics posted on here... thanks.

as for the narrower front tires, i dont foresee any down side for daily driving. track use or heavy cornering may be compromised a bit. the up side is that it shouldn't road walk with you as bad when you hit irregularities in the pavement.

Your car looks sick with the CETA mod. Those wheels are ridiculous! Going to look sweet. PICS with them on!! :)

NXPRSS Feb 19, 2011 02:43 PM

oh1ws6 Feb 19, 2011 03:15 PM

I had an alignment problem when I had the stock 275's tires and wheels. Got it lined up and it still wanted to pull to the right. I never went back to get it fixed before I put the new wheels and tires on. Now it drives perfectly straight with the 245's in the front.

If your tires are directional, then you have them on the wrong side of the vehicle. Looks great though!
