Just a reminder to those sitting on the fence,...

Pictures!

Show me a real picture Gary. I'm tired of the run around you have given me and others on this board.



Boost the price, see if I care!
By the time I get the money for them, they will be gone anyway. Thanks a lot!

1) There are plenty of pics on this board of the wheels. Get off your *** and find them.

2) Run around? Gary has been very helpful. E-mail him and you'll see.

3) You should have ordered them sooner. You had ALMOST TWO MONTHS TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY.

4) Ronal didn't have to re-make them in the first place. That only makes my set rarer.

The only problem is that I was NEVER given an answer. I've been told many things, but Gary from Ronal has not convinced me that they are in any way, shape or form, the same as the ones you guys are showing.
The descriptions he has given me in E-Mail and otherwise do not even closely resemble the rims. Period.
I am not going to shell out ANY money until I actually see the rims he has to offer. I know what rims I want, as well as everyone does. The pictures that the people on this board have shown are EXACTLY what I want, but GARY has NOT confirmed that at all.
My .02

Has anyone got them yet and do they have a set on their vehicle?

Another thing:
I have not had the funds in the last two months. It will take me forever to catch up. I've fallen behind, and there are more important things to concern myself with than buying the rims at this point in time. By the time that I do actually have the money for them, they will be gone. That is what I am so mad about.
It's a personal problem. I'm sorry to bring it up.

PS:
WHERE was Ronal BEFORE 9/11/2001? I'm so MAD.

In case nobody understands me, a LOT of people lost their jobs after that point in time. Myself being one of them. I'm now doing a thankless job paying me less than half the money I was making before all that crap happened. I'm pinching pennies in a VISE.

"Fallen on hard times my friend..............."
Where's my Jethro Tull CD?
At least I haven't lost my sense of humor. I may have lost my common sense, and I'll be fine in the future. The smoke will settle someday.

how are they supposed to show you rims that they haven't made in 10 years? Ofcourse they'll be the same ones in the pics. That's the whole point. If they weren't the same EVEYONE would be asking for their money back. He said that they wouldn't have the firehawk logo but just a ronal cap. They'll be colormatched like the origional Hawk rims to whatever color you want but for $80 over the $250 per wheel.

Agreed!

Now I agree with you there, but what made me so mad about it was that he told us that it is non-refundable. If they are not at all like those rims, you're out $50 along with everyone else that ordered them.
Now get 10 people, and ronal made $500 for NOTHING.
Sound like a good thing?

That is why I will wait.

Sorry to hear you're having a hard time as many are but what you posted makes no sense at all.

??

What isn't there to understand?
Everyone has posted the original Ronals all over the place and nobody has acquired the rims as of yet. All I have gone by is what GARY from Ronal has told ME.
I do want them if they are the same.
When I get back on my feet, (which will not be soon) I will have more than enough money for the rims at that point in time.
Problem is, there is no guarantee that they will be available. It's a totally unecessary thing for me. There is nothing wrong with my stock rims whatsoever.
Yes we all would love to have them, but as I have stated, something sounds fishy.

OK let me explain. If you don't have the money then you can't by them right now. Right? Right and by the time you get the money they will probably all be sold. Right? Right. OK I can sum this up in 4 words.
NO MONEY=NO WHEELS
It's just that simple.

No Kidding!

I understand that. When the money I have is saved for them, I will see at that point in time. I have no problem with that. I will feel bad if I miss out on it because the timing couldn't have been worse.
On a lighter note:
Your avatar is making me blink too much jobryan26! Ow Ow Ow!
