1800 sounds like a reasonable price. Does that include any tires? Where did u buy it from? RPM is new company... according to my knowledge...

btw, do you have more pics with the new wheels? your car really looks cooool!

I believe it's a 2.5" lip up front and a 3.5" in back. I have to measure to make sure though.

RPM wont sell wheels directly... I tried! They have them in stock though so just find a wheel dealer near you that sells RPM or SPEEDY wheels. They go for about $1499 a set.

I'm getting my fenders cut on Monday.

...saving pennies for coilovers and an aero kit

tanabe nf210 was supposed to drop the front 1.5" and the rear 1.0"

but the actual drop was 1.0" front and 1.6" rear!

I want Tein Basics so I can fix the stance and avoid rubbing issues when I have to carry a lot of band gear... or 4 girls in the back seat.

i went to a shop in Sacramento today.
they quote me $736 plus tax for a set of 19s (staggered setup)with out tires for the RPM R505 silver one.
i dont' know if it's that much different for the price between silver and black.

no the 9.5" wheel only came in +30 or +38

I would advise lowered sedans to go with 8.5" +38 all around if you dont want to cut your rear fenders.

That's an incredible deal... even for plain silver ones. You should find out how much an ALL CHROME staggered set would be.
