    Keep the KT1's or go Ronal's?

    So I've had the KT1's on the car for a few months and my Ronal addiction has been on the rise. I like the KT1's, but I'm not crazy about the 16x9 up front sticking out past the fender and I don't like the staggered look either. I like to run my car hard and I'm always nervous of curbing the wheels.

    I've been wanting a set of Ronal's for a little while, before I got the KT1's actually, so I'd like everyone's opinion.

    Here's some pics with the KT1's






    Sold.......again.

      never liked 16x9 up front and since you don't like the staggered look... Ronals it is.

        Well I mean the staggered look is ok, I don't hate it, just never been real big on it.

        I've never actually seen staggered KT1's in person, just a few pics.

          I'd eat a lasagne made from Celine Dion's placenta for a set of KT1s. they are rarer than chickens with lips out here.

                Rare? I bought mine from tunershop 4 months ago.

                Yeah

                Also, if I could find someone to trade 2 of my 16x9's for 16x7.5's, I'd try it out just to see if I like it or not.

                        I would think the Ronal's are more "rare" since they're NLA domestically anymore. So clean, and they look OEM plus that nice lip. I was beating my head against a wall trying to find a set... finally gave up.

                          GET THE RONALS! KT1s are ugly and FAKE! Ususally I wouldn't suggest that but I loved my Ronals! Slap some 225/50s on them and you've got nice looking great preforming wheels/tires.

                            I think I'm in the same boat.
                            I have 16x9s, and I'm about to go back to Euroweaves. Fatter tires, less maintenance.
                            The Borbets are easy to clean, (way easier than weaves), but I can stop poking.
                            What size tires are you running?

                            I was on the fence about going staggered, too. If I could run 245s with an et15, it'd be game on. (225s on a 16X7.5 on the front) No more spacers!

                              Rare in Australia, sunshine. Nobody brings 'em in (or Ronals).
