it's really hard to tell in the first picture but on neil's car those are ronal LS. From what i can tell they look very similar.

..those wheels were offered in two different offsets. Some with a deeper lip than others. The angle of the pics are not too good for a parallel comparison. The ones with the deeper lips are harder to come across.

The first pic looks like the 15" BMW rims that came with the IX's

The other are Ronal's.

The finish on the wheels look different. I believe they are different.

Yeah, the more I look at the pic, the more I think they're the 15" basketweaves everyone wants.

The lip on the above rims is too small to be the Ronal LS's, at least it seems that way to me.

The lip is a lil too much.Its not an iX 15" or Euro 15" Basketweave. I am standing by diff. offset Ronals. Best wait for Adam or PM him. The car looks like one a friend of his owned.....

I met the owner of the black car and he stated that those were Ronal LS's. I agree with e9nine, both are Ronals, just a little different (style or offset).

Dang, I was proven wrong... :oops:

Oh well - thanks for the correction, Aaron. ;)

That's not Hiep's old car, although it's pretty damn close.

Hiep's car had yet another style of LS, a later style I belive that have a rounded lip rather than the squared off one pictured here. Those are 100% for sure not IX weaves, those have a way different offset and almost no lip. Euro baskets is a possibility, but I'm gonna go with Ronals for both cars.

edit: Here's a pic of Hiep's old car. It's a huge pic, 56k beware...

The black car is John B.'s car off Baye30.net.

Differance in lip size on the shhown photos Geiorge is that the first pic is a 7" and the bottom two wheels is that they are 7.5" hence bigger lip.
