        i would stay with the kt1's personally. the ronals are only available in 15x7.5 as far as i know....if they made 16x9 ls's i would be all over them.
        Shoot, move, and communicate...

          We have a set of 7.5's. A trade would be awesome!

              Hmm, tunershop sells them new also. Although I'd like to find a used set.

              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!
              Yeah that's the only thing about weaves is the maintnance, that's the only thing holding me back. My KT1's have 215/40/16's.

                Fake? haha, oh yeah, you mean the 2 peices wannabe's. I had a set of 16x9 type a's that I should have kept, but things were different at the time and was planning on selling the car.

                  I say go with the Ronals. Looks like your mind is already made up.

                    We'll see, if I traded my 2 9's and got a little cash on top of them, I might just save up and buy a used set of Ronals and have both!

                    When I got my car it had the stock weaves on there, and they were a PITA to clean. Probably didn't help that the front brakes were cheap pads and made a lot of dust.

                    I'm anal about my car being clean, especially wheels, and if I can't keep em clean, I hate driving the car! So the Ronal's would definitely be more maintnance.

                                Yeah it's just the way the KT1 is made I guess, the narrower rims don't look right to me. The 9's look awesome with the big lip. But I also think that 17's are a little big on E30's too.
