Re: Pictures of 3rd gens with Ronal R15 wheels?
Ive always wanted a set I think they look better on firebirds than camaro's, but Im still searching for a set for my camaro.....someday I hope
Re: Pictures of 3rd gens with Ronal R15 wheels?
Would you be able to measure the size of the wheel caps? I don't have any caps with my rims but was thinking about making my own lug "covers" but having the dimensions would be great.
Btw, what size tires you guys running on these rims? I was going to use 275/40/17 in the front and 315/35/17 in the rear

That last pic of the black Firebird is or was for sale on Craigslist here in Ohio.Twin turbocharged small block.Wish i had what he was asking,he had to have a ton of money in that setup and he had it listed pretty cheap in my opinion.

Re: Pictures of 3rd gens with Ronal R15 wheels?
Bringing this ttt to mention I just received an email from Classic Industries(most of you probably did too). It's having a March Madness Sale: 20% off of orders placed by March 15th.
I suspect the availability of the Ronals is still "pending," so I don't know if they're orderable. And they'd probably be considered a "special order," which means they wouldn't qualify for the discount. *reading Classic's fine print, I'm surprised anything ever qualifies for discounts*
I know a lot of people on this site tend to "wish," rather than buy, but if you're really in the market for these, 20% off is almost like buying 3 and getting 1 free, so it might be worth a shot.
Classic's 20% off discount code is MAD13.

Re: Pictures of 3rd gens with Ronal R15 wheels?
Man, to me, the Ronals look more natural on firebirds than even the stock mesh wheels. (Yes, I'm aware the ronals are stock on the firehawks).

Re: Pictures of 3rd gens with Ronal R15 wheels?
Here is mine: 86 Trans Am
I didn't realize until after the pictures I left the center caps off! I have started breaking down the car to sell as a roller and guess I got ahead of myself.
More on my cardomain site if you want to see others.

Re: Pictures of 3rd gens with Ronal R15 wheels?
Ronal no longer makes these wheels. Knock offs are available from Classic Industries.
I have the knock offs on my 1985 and I needed the spacers.

Re: Pictures of 3rd gens with Ronal R15 wheels?
I used classic industries' spacers on the front. I did not think I would need them but I did. Iirc they are 3/8". I had the factory spacers on the rear and left them in place.
Edit: just saw a post by Ray from CI that said the spacers are 1/4"

Re: Pictures of 3rd gens with Ronal R15 wheels?
Question because I am considering the Classic Industries version of the R15. Are they JWL standard wheels or something from china to be avoided? I don't want to run a non-standardized wheel since I expect the car to be pushed hard regularly and I've seen the failures of cheaply cast wheels
