Default Opinions?

Considering seeing if I can trade my 19" RPM 505's for a set of TT2's. I was originally set on TT2's for my Red 00 SS but got a good deal on the RPM 505's. They were professionally powder coated Satin(if not lower gloss) black. Haven't mounted tires yet. Just don't know how much I like them on a Camaro, and the fact there 19's and only 9.5 inch wide in the back..

Essentially what the car will look like.


My wheels:




My car with a friends wheels. Just to show show it sits at the moment. 18" comp grey spyders.




Opinions? Keep 505's or trade? I have a set of Stainless/Acrylic SS badges to tie in the polished lip and plan to do a Satin Berger Panel with stainless/Acrylic inserts

Look at thirdshiftstudios,they came out with some really nice red ss badges with a thin syainless outline they look great,I'm not a fan of all stainless embles,I would trade your rims,maybe not for tt2s buti think a polished rim would look better on your car

tt2s are heavy as fock, trust me i know, you can get a better lighter wheel in 18 that can look better

tt2s are out date IMO, yes i love them, but they are outdated

I'm with you on the width, if they were 11's out back and gloss black centers I'd definatly be interested in a trade. Good looking car, either way ya go will be good.

Being a fan and whether or not the cars are finally becoming dated are two different things. Plus I think these wheels look better on Birds. We'll see though, found some fronts today.
