One more..

 

that is about the 1st Z that i like them on. Looks good. Maybe the right angle.

 

Back from the dead thread....

 

No doubt about it, those wheels rock on our cars. I so much wish they had larger barrels to clear 13" brakes. I'd have a set in a heart beat!

 

Crappy cell phone pic that is about 4 yrs old or so......

 

Wheels for sale?

 

Yep - come with a free car too!

 

Getting closer

 

What 13" brakes don't fit? The comp package hawks have 13" brembos on the front.

 

I'll play. lol

 

Just because a certain set of 13" Brembos fit under the wheels, doesn't mean that all 13" kits will fit the wheels. Keep in mind that Brembo probably makes 5 different types of calipers to fit 13" rotors - some are larger than others.

 

I understand that they all won't fit.
Vintage style wheel generally means using a vintage parts selection to make things easy.
Guess I was saying you can make 13" rotors/ 4piston calipers fit if you use the correct parts.

 

Come on, you already know the answer to that.

That's hot. I want to see the rest of that car.

 

She ain't much to look at but has some nifty parts on it or in a huge pile waiting to go on it. Couple more and I can start the "build" thread.

 

I'll be watchin' for it.

 

 

I decided to order these from Classic in red and they are long term B/O! so 6 months plus? who knows they did say the silver were short term B/O 1-2 months? and they confirmed made in Taiwan - sad we cant even cast and machine aluminum wheels stateside and compete
mine were under 600 shipped w/ discount code and free shipping

 

I'm pretty sure Jegs has them in stock.....might be worth checking into

 

Yeah I ordered a set about 2 months ago from classic industries and still no word on the back order for a black set

 

I gave up and cancelled my order - I heard a rumor they were re-tooling for the new 18 inch version and no more 17 inch would be made
but not sure on that....sounds like it could be true based on what we are seeing from Hawks on the new 18 inch R15's

 

I would be ok with that honestly, and I was a lot more into the firehawk wheel before I ended up with my SLP ZR1’s but I’m kinda content now honestly. I will leave my backorder on and if they do show up I would love to have a set. If not, I’ll wait for 18’s

 

 

 

Looking good !!!
Love those wheels

 

might also be going 18's so a 12" brake will fit on them

I hear the A/M 17" have issues fitting more than stock brakes - anyone know if the A/M 17's will fit the 1Le brakes?
Classic mentioned B/O may be 6-12 months?

 

They will fit the 1LE. Hawks has a red Firehawk clone they built that has the 13" Baer black label kit in it. It is a very tight fit. There is a thread here on TGO that says C4HD will squeeze in, which is what the 13" Baer black label kit is based of off.

Here is the C4HD Ronal thread:

Thanks Fireball451 I didnt want to shoot myself in the foot - done that before and it hurts!

 

I am hoping it fits fine as I have accumulated the parts for the C4HD swap.

 

Another revival from the dead on this thread.. These are Real Ronal R15. For sale.

Bought this car down in FLA back in April. Want to replace the wheels with some kinda drag package or black snowflakes.

 

Have had the car for 15 years and the wheels for 14 years. Finally got the wheels restored and mounted up... 91', made in W-Germany Ronal R15's with original firehawk centercaps.
