Ronal R15 vs 91/92 Z28 rims?
years ago I sold my stock rims and bought some billet specialties in stock size.
Now I'm considering either going back to stock or shop for some Ronal R15.

Where are good places to buy these? Are these two still available new?
Any opinions on witch way to go?
Thanks!

The stock 91-92 Z28 wheels are SUPER cheap. You can get a great set for $100 or so.

I will look around.
Beeing overseas probably it will be a problem to find someone who ships to my location

Any time a Classic Industries listing says "Coming Soon" call before you order it to see when "soon" is. I called a couple weeks ago and they had no anticipated ship date for these wheels.

I'm in the industry and would say go for the FH wheels for two reasons:

1) There aren't many tires out there in 245-50-16 these days

2) The 275-40-17 tire gives a huge increase in grip compared to the same car with 245-50-16 sized ones.
