If you're referring to the Ronal Firehawk wheels, do a search.

That subject ranks right up there with 4th gen seats and throttle body sizing.

The only difference between mine and the rims SLP sells is the centers are painted gloss black instead of charcoal and the center caps say RONAL.

Can't post pics for some reason?

Read Dirk's announcment up top.....

He disabled attachments because that is what has been slowing the server down so much, not the search.

The search is back up, but now we cant post pictures
That's ok though, I cant post pictures anyway, damm probation

Zepher,

What a difference wheels make to a car. I wouldn't have known that your car was a '82.

Neither do mine, but the fronts sure do rub like crazy on the plastic well liner.
