cant decide - ronal r15 or snypers???
Im having a little trouble here, I like the ronals but the snypers let you see more of the rotor. What do you guys think would be best on a maroon iroc with 2"cowl and no door stickers. Everything else is in sig. And if the ronals should I get the inserts painted black or leave them unpainted?

I prefer the Ronals. As to how to paint them, it's really a matter of opinion. Why not burgandy like the rest of the car??
...That's what I would do in your shoes.

imo, i think the ronals look better, the snypers are cheaper. i heard that the ronals are alot heavier too?
i kno there are a few cars here with the ronals and a ton a people with the snypers!!
either choice is a great one!!!
they are both awesome looking on a third gen!!

If you have some nice, big rotors, Snypers are good. But overall I like the Ronals better.

I think Im leaning towards the ronals with black paint for the inserts. Something about color matching with red doesnt sit well with me. IMHO, it looks a little cheesy in certain colors(bright red) and good in other colors(black and white). Anyone know what the difference is in the weight between the ronal, snyper, and stock iroc rims are with tires?

If I had the dough, I'd go with the Snypers. Shifty's car looks sweet with those wheels (even for a 'Maro).

Oh... and I'm pretty sure he's still got it. Just doing a little work on it cuz of the crash and all.

Hey guys, I called to get a price and the unpainted ronal rim is goin for $295. So with the black insert paint Im thinkin around $355 each plus shipping.
So I think I like the snypers more!! Maybe Ill just keep lookin for a while...............

I vote snypers, thinner spokes look better.
The ronal has a better looking, deeper "lip" or "dish" I guess you'd call it. They kinda look like oversized mid '80s blazer wheels if you ask me. The pic of the red car with paint makes them look a ton better though@~!

I'll say Ronals, but where exactly can you BUY them?
Snypers are nice but they tend to blend in a little TOO well with the car...to the point where they don't really stand out.

. Both the Ronals and the Snypers are a perfect fit for 3rd gen camaros. Both match the square body lines and match the overall style of the car. They look as if they came stock. They are also two of the cheep wheels out there. Here are a few pics (pre wreck
) to give you an idea of how a simple set of wheels on an RS can make a wolrd of difference. Notice I have no other exterior mods.

I like the style of the Snypers but I also like the dished nature of the Ronals. Can't really go wrong either way.
