I know what the originals look like. I just want to see what the new R-15s that Ronal is making, specifically color matched ones. Curious to know how that center cap will look like.

Thanks for all the complments. I think they look great.
Yes, I had to use the spacers, the back of the wheel was hitting the tie rod end. I did notice, however, that I had no wheel rub at full lock in reverse like I used to with the original wheels.
I'm working on a new sig picture :-)

I should have mine on tomorrow. I ordered Yokohama A520's from Discount Tire on Friday. They were out of stock, so I have been waiting.

They come with 1/8" spacers and proper lug nuts because on some cars, the inside of the rim hits the tie rod end. I have to use the spacer for my 1989 Formula.

At this time I plan on hanging on to my Charcoal 16x8 crosslace wheels. I doubt I could sell them for what I would be forced to spend to replace them.

Hey Man,

640 x 480
800 x 600
1024 x 768
Email me at billsfirebird@hotmail.com if you want it. I have a few others that I may post on the boards if your interested.
Here's a small version of what I made. I hope you like it.

Wow they look really nice, just like the originals. Is the center cap red or black? It looks like it needs more red in it to match the windows like the camaro near the top of this thread. Other than that they look sweet. Now if only I hadn't bought a Merkur....
