How Would Ronals Look On My Car?
Maybe i just antsy during the winter when i can't see/drive my car...but i was thinking about putting some ronals on. First of all, how do you guys think they compare to the stock wheels...and what color wheel accents(otherwise known as 'windows') would look best on my car? (Plain, Red, or Black?)

Ronals look good, period. For the windows, I would do black or plain satin, NOT red.
I know a guy selling a set of brand new Ronals, caps, spacers, lugs, and with new tires mounted in CT if you decide to buy.

Steve...definately tinting the windows right when i get outta school in april. I'm thinking im gonna do 32% sides and 22% rear like i did on the RS.
I'm not sure what would look better...with the black/red color combo on the factory wheels you could have either gotten grey accents (which is what are on mine) or red accents. I've seen some pics of some heritages w/ red accents and it looks pretty good...not really sure how black accents on the ronals would look...

Tint...windows...
Are you refering to the inner wheel inserts as "windows" Maybe thats why you have me so confused thats why i said i only like black tint lol.
Ya im surprised your car did not come with the red inserts, mine came with white but never had the original wheels on the car when i bought it. Either way with the red stripes i think red inserts would look best. I can see red being arguable and black would fit everyone but its what you want best.

Oh yea i completely forgot...
Yes i plan on tinting the car's windows 32%sides and 22% rear.
For the colors, i was talking about the wheel's windows (or edges around the spokes).

The primary color of your car is black, so that is why black windows on the Ronals would be better than red. Colored Ronals tend to look best on cars where the windows match the primary color of the car. IMO, a black car with red accents on the hood and then red accented wheels would look too...busy.

I think there's a great handful of wheels out there that look more at home on a 3rd gen, but that's not saying that Ronals don't look good too. If that's what you're wanting to put on there then I say do it. I think the red windows would look really good, it would look more factory I would think.

I think black windows with the red trim on the Ronals would look awesome.

I'd stick with the natural/satin finish.. any other colour wouldn't work well IMO because you have nothing but black on the side of your car.
Now if you had red pinstriping or something similar...
