Default Anybody on RPM 505 Rims?

Thinking of getting RPM 505 rims.

Anybody on these? How's the construction and will they hold up to the Atlanta potholes. Getting 18's because the roads are so bad and i will be traveling in this car.

Heres a photoshop of what it might look like.



Oh, BTW they are only 1K with tires, can they be found cheaper.

I had those rims on my car. I actually still have them even though they are pretty beat up I'm planning on selling them. They were pretty sturdy rims but I bent a few of them just hitting really big pot holes here in Ohio. I wish I had more flattering pictures, but most of these are from the front.

Look cheap to me. I like the MRR's better for that price range. No offense, Ben.

Lol it's alright. They actually looked pretty nice from the side, but I have the stock 17's now and I like the way the look and feel better. If I go for rims again then I'm going to get 18's and go for 3GS rims or other OEM or JDM rims.

Thanks for the pics. That does help greatly. BTW, what size were those? 20's?

When I originally bought the car I had 19x8.5 in front and 19x9.5 in the back. I had 245 35 19 and 275 35 19. However, after some time and for whatever reason my rear right started to rub so I replaced the rear wheels with 19x8.5 rims and 245 35 19's tires to stop the rubbing and match the front.
