UPDATE:
I'm expecting the 17" R15 Firehawk wheels to be manufactured next week....We'll have them shortly thereafter.
I mentioned that we would offer complete wheel/tire packages w. these wheels....and I have obtained a special deal w.
Pirelli P7000SS, Z rated, 320 wear rating, and great in wet and dry weather....
We can incorporate the 17" R15 wheels in a package w. NEW
275/40/17 Pirelli P7000 SS, w. your current pricing in a package deal for
$1699. +s/h to your location....
If you like this idea,--or have comments, let me know ASAP....
email me at

Got a photo of the R15s?

Have y'all got any R9s hiding in the back warehouse? I still want a set...

 

I'll just take mine without the tires please.

R-15 are the original Firehawk wheel.

 

i want those wheels!but $1700?

 

Have you priced 17" wheels and tires lately?? That's really not a bad price. Actually I'm pretty impressed by it. Even most 4th gen wheels once you add in the cost of adapters get close to taht number.

 

Yeah man thats not too bad.

 

$1700 is with nice tires.
I'd like to see how much with some cheapy Kumho Supras.

 

That is slightly less than $175 per tire. They are $169 from tire rack. I think its a deal - one S&H charge, and the tires will be mounted right out of the box. I have these tires (250/45/16) on my car now and they aren't a bad tire.

Yeah I suppose if you're going to spend a grand on wheels you might as well spend $50 for tires.

 

I was hopiing they would come up with a nice price for Firehawk sz50's. I think I'll still hold out for those. I really liked 'em.

 

I'll pass on the tires, also. I am going for the Yokohama A520's.

 

Kumhos for those wheels are $113 each. Excuse me Mr. Moneybags.

 

moderator versus moderator.

How long will these wheels be offered? I REALLY need a set but won't have the money until july.

 

Oh..checks in the mail..but nobody tell Kevin.

It is a suprise.

 

Ok, I won't tell him if you buy me a set as well.

 

But you don't want these Manny...they are a '3rd Gen Thing'. :lala: :lala:
:sillylol:

 

Uh, so what are you trying to say, that I am not a 3rd gen person anymore since my car is almost 75% 4th gen?

 

Whats so bad about Kumho's? I've never had any problems with them. For the price, they are great tires IMO.

 

Just wanted to post this pic. The wheels look alot nicer with the edges unpainted.

 

Are spacers required for this? The silver and red would look great on a red GTA!!! (me me me, decided to finally go red bright red to paint my car!!!)

 

Just my honest opinion, they look BLING BLING in chrome.

 

andynice20, no spacers required for a thirdgen f-body.

...On second thought, Im going for a set of BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDWs for mine.... would 285/40/17 be too big?

Doug

 

Has anybody found out when these wheels will ship?

 

Per Gary on Friday 5/10/02 "The wheels are being manufactured this week, and painted next week. We should have the first batch sometime later this month...we had a slight delay in the manufacturing schedule."
He continued by saying "You should have them by the end of the month...hopefully before."

Hope this helps. If not, please do like I did and email him directly @ ronalusa@ronalusa.com.

 

91RedBigFinZ:

285/40/17 would be a little large for the front, rear would be fine. Some people run a slightly smaller tire (275/40/17 standard) up front because they will rub just a little. Although, my stock wheels rubbed so it's not a huge deal.

 

OK talked to Gary this past week, supposedly 10 days they will be availible...... anyone else heard anything?...

 

You know...

Every time I talk to Gary on my order, he says "It will be 10 more days..." Hmm...

Dave

 

Well, if SLP is intending on selling them again, obviously it is not a scam, as noted by several other thirgen.org members....

Seems like SLP put in a pretty sizable order for RONAL to fire up the mold again.

 

Anybody know the weight of these wheels?

Just my .02, I run the BFG G-force KDWs on my stock 16x8s right now and I love them on the street and road coarse. I'll find out how they hook up on the strip at the end of this month. If I decide to upgrade to 17s I'd buy the KDWs or KDs in a heartbeat. When I bought my 245/50/16s they were $180/each. Now they're down to around $125/each.

 

Ron,
They weigh 24 lbs which is ok for a 17 x 9 1/2 rim. Their are others that are a few pounds lighter, but way more expensive.
