Not to be a nit-picker, but try a search. Search specifically in the Appearance and Detailing section and look for:

Firehawk wheels, R15 wheels, Firehawk pics, etc. You'll find quite a bit.

Matt,
You've seen them live on my Camaro. My car is currently on jack stands, so if you ask nicely I may loan you a couple of the wheels so you can test fit them yourself.

Thanks for posting the pic Justin, those look tough on your Formula!

Bill, thanks for the offer. I might just have to take you up on that. I'd love to see how they look on my car.

thanks for the compliment. Its my understanding that these rims are sold out at Ronal in California and there are no plans to make more, unless they get pre-payment for 100 sets of rims. This may make finding the rims tough, or cause their cost to go up?

Let me know what you find, and post pics when you get them!

I know someone who might stil have a brand new set for sale. I'd have to check, though. Here's a few small pics of R15s on my '92 Formula:

It happened right around June, when I got my set. I dealt with Louis. There was another contact guy named Gary who was a real *****. I complained to a few people about his customer service and he no longer works for ronal. Not sure if I got him fired, but if I did then good. He was a real a$shole!

Louis said that I bought the 4th to last set, and the next day some guy from Connecticut bought the last 3 sets. They have plenty of centercaps left though lol

These rims look much better on a Camaro. That is just my opinion.

I don't see how they don't mesh well with the GFX. It's down to personal opinion though. I do remember the Firehawk, and am fully aware that the wheels were designed for that car.

I'd have to agree with you. That white Z28 looks picture perfect.

Re: Need Ronal R-15 Wheel Pics!!!

Anyone think these would look good on a 69' Tempest (picture GTO). lol I love these wheels. Was going to use them on an 89' TA I was building for someone but he went with Foose wheels instead. I need to get someone to photoshop them on a 69' goat lol

You sure got a sweet ride man. What are the black rims on your car in the signature?
