I have been contemplating an upgrade to the new Ronal rims. I have a 1987 Trans Am GTA... Here is a link:

I just do not like the rims at all...

I want to install better brakes and move to a 17" rim. The Ronal Firehawk rims appeal to me.

I have seen these with a red insert on a 91 trans am on this site and i think they look amazing. I just do not know if my car is too boxy to handle the look of the firehawk rims.

I like the rim with both the red painted inserts as well as the one with the black painted inserts. Does anyone have a pic of the rims on a red GTA with these two options?

Is there any clearance problems I should be aware of with these rims?

 

Here is a black formula with black inserts on the ronals

Here is the 91 I have seen on this board with the red inserts.

What ya guys think of this in black

Personally I dont really like those rims and dont see what all the fuss is about. Your current rims dont really match the car though so the Ronal's do look a little better IMO but Id go for something else.

 

I like the Ronals too, but there are alternatives....
Check out the Centerline wheels....
How about the Mojave?

 

here is a camaro with those wheels, yeah its not a T/A but it is still 'boxy' and gives you an idea

I think these Ronals are the coolest damn wheels ever. They are friggin' pricey though. $395 each. Check them out at http://ronalusa.com/wheels-2002/lz.html . The kick *** thing about these is they come in the right offset for our cars (with 3" from the front of the design to the outside lip of the wheel) and have that deep look that just rocks.:rockon: I really don't like the look of the front-drive offset wheels on our cars.
Those Centerlines are pretty cool though, I bet they're cheaper than $395 each too. I'll have to look into those.

 

Hey Scott,you want my wheels? I want to get a set of TTII's.

 

zimmstoy,

Looks like the car is "floating" in that pic. I think we have a UFO sighting.

 

I think your photoshoping skills fu*king suck....

Thanks for the compliments on my photoshop skills.. I don't have time to sit in front of the computer 24/7 to get it perfect...Love the negativity.. You really help make this board pleasant place to surf.


RSpeed:
Maybe we can do a trial fitting when we swap the rear end and I can see how they look.


Thanks for your comments everyone.

 

Hey man, I'm glad I could help...

 

Photo shop some ROH ZS wheels on there. I have seen some firebirds with those on the boards and they look great.
