I think these wheels work best on the Trans Am's. Like how the deep dish y2k work best on camaro's.

I do like the R-507 and would rock them on my Zee

Default rpm 505 19x9.5's out of stock??? mrr gt1?

I agree with you on that ZEE!
but any help would be greatly appreciated!
i have ran into a stop sign with these wheels an have been researching them for quite some time..finally decided to order them.. BUT
DID...They really run out of stock... on the 19x9.5???
i was going to go 19x9.5 all the way around but seems like i cannot do that because there are no more...

i have called soooo many places and the only option is to go 19x8.5 all the way around (Front and rear).. it wouldn't be bad on the front, but the rear with a 38 offset would be really narrow and leave a gap like VinR!'s car. that is why he has a 1" spacer which looks good but i would rather have the 9.5s all the way around just personally...
However i was talking to one of the wheel shops and with the (19x8.5s) , he said if i ran a **20 OFFSET.... in the back, instead of a 38, then i wouldn't need a spacer because it would push the rim out a inch making me flush does that make sense?... so i dont know what to doo at this pooint...?any suggestions? or know anywhere where i can get the 9.5's.. or what route are people taking if they cant get a hold of the wider rpm's anymore?
because...
Im thinking i might just go with the MRR GT1's.. There a pretty close style to the rpm 505s and from what i have gathered if i ran 19s.. a 40 offset would be a good offset to go on those.. what do ppl think...

If ur lookin for the 3'' lip that the rpm 505s have in 19x9.5, then stay away from 20mm offsets, spacers and the 8.5s. The 8.5s will only give you a 2'' lip and dont look as good. I am also considering the mrr gt1s in a 19x9.5 or i may just wait for the "new" rpm style wheel to be released, but who knows when that will be.

yeah i got the same answer today...from a guy saying he didnt know when they would come in could be half a year.. at-least he was honest..

where are you looking to get your mrr's at? and what offset are you looking at 40? ill Pm you about the mrr's and see if we can find the best price because ive dont quite a bit of research and im sure you have as well... there's so many flaky wheel places out there that juts tell you what they want to hear! and you wont get your wheels for 6 months!

For those of you with 19's how is the ride quality? I have never considered 19's before but now I am really considering it after seeing this thread.

I didn't notice any difference in ride quality when I went from 17s to 19s.

I've got 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear and they seem to ride just fine for me.

If you decide to go with 19's, do not skimp on the tire choice...that will make a huge difference in ride quality/noise. Do your research. I use Continental Extreme Contact DW's on my 19/20's, and they are pretty good.

Default Center Caps

Is there any other center-caps that fit RPM 505 wheels, the ones come with the wheels are ugly. I peel off the metal part off now there is hole in it.
What you guys recommend?

Bump an old thread. Anyone running these? What did you do about the different bolt pattern? And hub bores?
