Default RPM505's on my 99 Firehawk

Did this a while ago, and never posted pics. Figured I'd post some up.

18x9 on all 4 corners. I personally love the look.

Before:



After:









It occurs to me I haven't had the chance to take quality photos since... Stay tuned, I plan to take a few soon.

Much improved. It's amazing what a nice set of wheels does for a car.

Look good but I must be completely honest, these type of wheels look their best at 19".

I was really tempted to go 19's, but with the pot holes in PA, and amount of driving I do, I would definitely have issues. Also, tires would kill me for how often I replace them. I do agree that 19's(with the car dropped right) look better.

I think chrome wouldn't look right on my car, not with the silver Firehawk stuff. This was also 9-ball's opinion, and his cars always look good.

i love the 505s, they look good. How much does that suspension package drop the car?

This is the Bilstein Firehawk package, and I think I measured about an inch drop front and rear. I really love the package though, I never bottom due to compression(speed bumps, I drag on). Also like that the shocks are rebuildable.

About time you picked out some wheels, looks great!

Good thing you didn't end up getting chrome Firehawk wheels, its bad enough there are 3 Firehawks in the LV, we don't need all of them running around with the same wheels haha...
