ttt (I certainly wish I could afford them)

I personally think just a plain 'bird emblem or WS6 emblem would be more in order for the centercap since only the true firehawks are truely deserving of the firehawk badge.

I E-mailed Ronal and they said the following:

Hello. Wheels come w. mounting hardware, and either blank or Ronal centercap.

I'm thinking of putting my $50.00 deposit today.

Well, mine are ordered as well...and I broke out the photoshop to get a better idea of what it would look like. Not bad for my first try at switching rims (IMHO).

I spoke with Gary, and the caps will either be blank or have the Ronal logo. They will not have the Firehawk symbol.

I hope they have the RONAL logo. I can see why they can't use the Firehawk logo because it belongs to Firestone and SLP.

I hope they don't come blank.

BTW, the prices I ordered mine for are much lower that was posted above, so if you want 'em-ORDER THEM NOW!!

You only need to give them $50.00 to reserve a set and the balance won't be due until mid April when they ship.

I'm torn about the center caps. If I had my choice, I would choose blank and have someone with artistic talent either paint or create some sort of WS6 logo to fill it.

man i wish i had money to spend on rims, need to get all the performance and suspension stuff taken care of first. Hopefully there will still be some in about 2 years. I was sold on getting some 17x8 IROCs but after seeing the Ronals on a camaro, looks like its Firehawks for me, just wish i could get them now.
