Talking My Firehawk gets RPM 505's in 19"

Been eyeing these wheels for a long time and I finally went for them









And just for the record, I ordered 5x120.7 from wheel studio off their website and this is what I was sent, I now think RPM no longer makes a 5x120.7 but went with just the 5x120 as shown on this box, I ordered some hub centric rings added too.

Looks good, just needs lowered to fill that gap!

I still prefer the torq thrusts you had on there, and wish they made those 505s in a wider size for the rear with an even bigger lip.

I really liked these wheels and almost ordered them until I saw them in person. With that being said I really like them on the red Hawk and it will look even better once lowered. For an affordable wheel I would take these over OE replicas every time.

Those are damn good looking wheels and compliment the Firehawk well.

I always thought the RPM505's looked exactly like my 19" Beyern BMW rims I had for sale on here (for forever, and nobody wanted them). Did finally sell locally, nobody from tech. I liked the look, just wanted more drag set-up.

A lowered F-Body is really night and day difference. I had always thought so just based on the pictures I'd seen, but it wasn't until I actually did it that it really hit home.
