Full set of standard finish 92 Firehawk replica wheels (R-15) and all necessary hardware. Brand new in box. $1,000 + shipping if necessary. I'm willing to drive a couple of hours for delivery/pick up.
Man, I was in the market for a set of those a couple of months ago. Purchased a set of chromed Corvette knock offs from SLP for about the same $ instead.
Post up the rim size, that should help sell them. 17"x9.5"?
The same company that made the wheels for the original Firehawks made these wheels in several batches over the years, the last and final run being maybe five or so years ago. They are "replicas" in the sense that they are not from one of the original 25 or so Hawks, but in all other respects they are 100% Ronal Firehawk wheels. No difference.

Yes, I am aware Ronal made the wheels that came on Firehawks. And as far as I know they have always been the R-15. I believe they made the R-15 before the Firehawk, although I could be wrong there. I do know they are not thirdgen specific wheels, I believe they also made at least a 15x7 verision. So I wouldn't call these things replicas, they are real deal Ronal R-15s. Just a difference of terms, i guess. Worth asking the question, although I'm not aware of anyone make 'replicas' of R-15s. Hows that?
Yes, they are 17x9.5". All the hardware that came with them is there: all wheels have hubcentric rings and there are 2 extras, there are two front spacers, four sets of rear lug nuts, and two sets of fronts. 4 center cap lock tools as well.
The front spacers are for cars not equipt with 1Le or similar brakes. They are not used with basically any 1LE or aftermarket brake setup that pushes track out.
1LE brakes push the front wheels out something like 1/4" compared to standard front brakes. All Firehawks came standard with 1LE or similar brakes that have a wider track than standard discs. So the wheels were designed to work with the wider track. Hence when you use these wheels with non-1LE brake equipt cars, you 'need' to run the included spacer.
All of this is from memory. Please do a little more research before you drop $1000.
