Hey thanks! :)



Definitely. I spent over 2 hours cleaning them. They still have some small specks of brake dust on them, but from a step back they almost look new. What's the best way to remove hard-stuck brake dust?

2 hours? damn. I used a center punch (like a metal pencil) covered in a tee shirt/cloth, soaked in soapy water. It will let you get into all of the crevices with enough force to clean it out without scratching the paint.

have you bought them from a private person? i'm just wondering because he ships packages which are more than 20kg. Normally thats not possible for a private person via DHL.

You made a good deal!

Yes, some guy in a little town in Bavaria called Marktleuthen. He said there was much going back and forth with DHL so it must have been quite some ordeal. http://www.fichtelgebirge-oberfranke...en/english.htm

how'd you clean them?

With a wash mit and car soap. I started using cotton swabs for all the grooves except that was stupid so I got out an old tooth brush. Much faster.

I think you got good deal. Mine came from the motherland too w/o tires and with a set of eurogrills for $600 from a member here but those look great...especially with tires. Get the car off jackstands and your golden.

P21S gel solution with a lite soaking and a nice soft brush works wonders for me.

I got my brand new Ronal's for just under $600 shipped

How long ago was that though?

How long ago was that though?

Probably a year maybe 2 before Ronal pulled out of the US market. Gary used to say Group Buy time last chance to buy them...about every 6 months and most of us got tired of hearing it.

Then, they did it it was very anti climatic. Still can get them in Europe fairly easy.
