So I was cleaning out the shop and ran across this brochure for Ronal rims from when I bought my ACT LS back in 1995. Still have the rims on the car to this day. Only reason that I put in the rare parts section is the size of the rims I have which are 16 X 7.5 4 X 100.

That's pretty rad, I don't think I've even herd of it

Has anybody ever seen this "BMW Sound-Board" before? In this video @ 3:50. Looks pretty cool, can't recall ever learning this option existed. https://youtu.be/YrEVp8ggnkw?t=230

As if standard transmission wasn't enough of a theft deterrent these days.....

pretty interesting. I didn't know about these!

How rare is a late model smoked heckblende?

depends. there were a few different ones and there are euro and n/a versions. nearly all are for late model big tail lights. i think earlier small tails are more rare and may get more ask.

then of course it depends on condition. mine has loads of micro cracks that won't be noticed from even a couple feet away, but would greatly reduce the value. most of them have a crack or two. 99% of the time you won't even notice it on a car.

i was shooting for 215 55 r15's. a touch more sidewall. i'm expanding my tire search to 225 50 r 15 and am looking at the 205s as well. the 225 50's are getting pretty wide for a stock wheel well, and the 205s might not have enough sidewall for my roads. there is at least some selection in those sizes. it's the reason i'm contemplating the 16in rim. just way more choices.

I settled for the tires i got after looking for 225/50s, I’m pretty happy. With the new 16s I ordered some 225/45r16

Awesome man i actually have the ronals on my convertible, I’m running 205/55r 15 Yokohama s drive and the fitment is really nice.

those are nice. i guess i'm gonna have to look at 16's. have a set of new ronal ls in 15 and can't get tires at all.

it was given to me I doubt it was the same one. How much were they asking?

Nice! I think it was listed for $200-$300.

Was this the one that was on eBay for awhile? Its such a cool part but probably wouldnt install it if I had one.
