I'm currently running, 205-40-17 on the replicas...

[Fuddy]

Ronal LS....nice choice :up:

As for tire sizes, if you want to retain proper aspect ratio get either 205/55s or 225/50s for all wheels. With the latter, you will want to make sure you have rolled your fenders (if you haven't done so already). Second point regarding the latter tire size: not all 225s are created equal. Ronal states that Dunlop SP8000s or Yokohama ES100s will work. If you were to buy something like Bridgestone S-03s, the mid-section of these tires is a bit wider than the Dunlops or Yokos in a 225 width and thus you will have some rubbing issues.

[Fuddy]

thanks ;) and for the pics...

does anyone know what size roundel I'll need for the center caps?

[Fuddy]

oh and It also looks like I'll be selling the replicas w 2 week old tires

[MR 325]

Should be the same roundel that fit's the "is" basketweaves. I am pretty sure ROnal will include them for you if you ask.

So you will be selling them? How much?

yeah include them... for 15 bucks each

they're cheaper at the dealer

I'm gonna ask for 600 for the rims and tires... I just paid 400 for new tires about 2 weeks ago

[DEV0 E30]

Wanting more rubber? I would keep them if I were you, not right to throw away money.

whoa. tons of PM's.....

for everyone that pm'ed me... I'm still not sure wether I'll sell the ltw's... I'm going to see how I like the car with the ronals.. and probably get the ltw's refinished... either way, it's better for everyone if we wait, cause if I do sell, you'll get a nice set of refinished ltw's

[Dirtsquirt]

Son of a...


Heh, I need thems wheels, lol

Why would they need refinishing? Have ya been curb-happy with them?


Either way I still need them (ASAP)

I cracked one on a pothole about 2 years ago, had it repaired... the paint they used sucks and is chipping off, I also don't think the rim is true...so I'll most likely be sending them all out to pennsylvania to this place that just does rims... get them refinished and checked for roundness.... so we'll see what happens
