We made the original 17x9.5" R-15, et 10 Firehawk wheels for the 3rd Gen Firebirds.....
I am now considering, based on demand, having a NEW PRODUCTION run, limited number of these 17x9.5" 5 spoke wheels. They will be manufactured in Germany, as before, in silver clearcoat paint finish...with optional color matching available.
Anticipated delivery is Mid April....based on your interest!!!!!
App. pricing per wheel will be around the $250./wheel range, and complete wheel/tire packages will also be offered.
Contact me via email--if you haven't already---at
ronalusa@ronalusa.com
We also have an extensive website, at

Let me hear from you......

 

will they look like this with the firehawks center caps??
also will you offer the spokes all color like the concept firehawk
it was all red except the outer rim

Its nice to see a company take an interest with our needs:hail:

 

:hail:

 

We will be making the wheels, as pictured, only in silver clearcoat finish. Custom color finish (painting to match any color) will be available...
Thanks for the photo.

 

I have previously e-mailed you... YES, Im interested!

 

I would have been extremely interested about a year ago. Its too bad I already purchased a set of rims. However I can assure you that the demand for those wheels is high, because the wheels look fantastic on Camaros as well.

 

:hail: :hail: :hail:

do you know when they will hit the market???

i'll need to have some $$ saved!!!!!!!!

 

Wow. They're priced a lot better than I expected. They're definately priced affordably.

Would I buy them? Honestly... I'm undecided. I certainly like them, but I'm unsure if they are my number 1 choice.

Do I think that others would buy them? Yup.

I would definately reccomend that if you do decide to start production, that you think about offering them in 4th generation offsets as well. That will bring the wheels to a whole new market.

 

I better start saving right now!

 

I do believe alot of people would buy them, but I also believe quite a few people will drop out on them. Once they become a regular wheel and anyone can get, the rare factor of them is no longer there and less people care about them.

However, I still don't doubt there are alot of people who'd want them.

 

I'm interested. Damn college taking all my money!! When will they be available and for how long???

 

I got $1200 brother, show me da wheels!

 

YES Iwant them

 

The question would be would 17x9.5 fit into the front wheel wells of the 3rd gen? I was under the impression that even putting slightly larger tires on the original 16x8 rims would cause a rub on the inner fenderwall.
What size tire would go on that if you (like me) had the 16" wheels as stock equipment?

I would be seriously interested if they would fit without doing any damage!

 

I know 17X9 fits perfect. Unsure about any larger though.

 

I also emailed about those...I'd better start saving!

 

Those are bad @$$, and they even go along with the third gen heritage!!!!

 

I have 17x9.5" wheels on all four corners, no rubbing. They grip like a dream. My car corners like no other that I have driven and I still have a lot of mods to do the suspension.

 

You said that you'll paint to match thats great, but will they be about the same $$$$ or can you give us and Idea on how much.
In addition I'm looking for the concept look(2nd photo) all red with the firehawk caps(per the first photo), is that an option? email me direct if you like

 

Looks like my plans for cam swap this summer might change. I was just drowling over these wheels on some camaro the other night. I do think it would be a good idea to make the offsets for 4th gens also if you're looking to make a profit. If not, keep it 3rd gen only .
How much is the whole package going to cost with tires? Any estimates?

 

Interested

 

Adam, what's the backspacing on your wheels and what size tires are you running? Thanks.

 

They came on a 91-92 Firehawk. No modifications necessary. Now I am just wondering how 315 Nittos's would look on the back. I'll say it again, I AM IN. I WANT THESE WHEELS.

 

315s are gonna be too wide I think. 295s are probably the widests
:hail:
:lala:

 

ordered mine yesterday , was told that once they are released they are going up in price , so if your thinking about them get them now

 

damn. I've really on the fence on these wheels. I told myself I wouldn't buy anything else until I got all my parts on. Maybe I should just send them the $50 just in case

 

I wonder if those wheels will look as good on a not-as-swoopy looking 85-90 T/A?

Any ideas? Pics?

I'm in regardless though...I think.
