RPM 505's

19 x 8.5 and 9.5
245/35 and 275/30


The old wheels were Speedline Corse
19 x 8.5 and 10
Same tire combo

The car rides the same as before since the tire size hasnt changed.

So not only did you decide to keep the old girl, but you also decided to get her some fancy new shoes. Looks great.

Yeah, I had an offer $300 less than what I wanted and at the last minute just couldnt pull the trigger. The car is perfect and I realized how much I enjoy it. I normally go through a different car every 12-18 months but I have a feeling this one is going to stick around.

Well, obviously it wasn't the $300 that killed the deal. It sounds like you made the right decision. And, in the event you decide to sell the car at some point in the future, at least you know that there's still a market out there for it.
