Default well, I finally broke down and ordered some wheels

Ive been sporting the 10 spoke factory wheels since ive owned my car. Today I ordered the RPM 505s. 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 in the back. They have a black center and a chrome lip. I think these will look pretty good on the black ss. What do you all think?

wheels and tires for 1675.98. That is the grand total. Mounting and balancing, nitrogen fill, installation kit. I thought about 9.5 all around, but I like the staggered look. I will be using the stock wheels in the winter time, so Im not that worried about wearing out the 19s

i was looking at some other wheels i put a post up on, but i was looking around the forum today and saw some other cars with these style wheels and really liked them. Are those the 505s on your car?

Nice, never been a huge fan of black wheels, but those are nice. Post some pics up when you get them on.

Ill post pics as soon as the wheels come in. I called today, and they said they wouldn't be to me until next week!!!! im going crazy waiting for these things to be on the car. The wheels have to be shipped to them and then mounted and balanced, then they will be shipped to me. I am going out of town next thursday, so hopefully I get them before then, so I can get them mounted before the road trip.
