    Keep the Ronals or go KT1's?

    So similar to a thread 91 318is posted a couple weeks ago, I've been debating selling my Ronals and picking up a set of KT1s 16x9 ET15 as the price has dropped quite a bit in the past few months.

    Just looking for what the general consensus thinks. Currently wrapped in 205-50-15 Falken 912's







    No caps



    When I first bought them, were wrapped in 225-50-15s. Liked the extra width of tire, but hated the look.

    Comments, questions, concerns?

    Thanks.

    Those look awesome. But in my opinion, I love the look of the KT1's. And I would just want a wider wheel anyway for the track.

    Those are cool though, hard choice.

        Your car is definitely one of the major influences for why I want KT1s. Yoni has hooked quite a few members up recently with some damn good prices, and last I checked it was $199 per wheel.

            You're Ronals would look SO much better if the centers weren't black. I think if you managed to get the centers matching the lips, you'd have a great set of wheels. My .02

                  $199 a wheel! damn they did come down!

                  I don't know man, it would be a tough choice. I love my KT1's, just not crazy about the front wheels sticking out past the fenders, other then that, I love them. Ronal is just a great looking wheel all around. I agree that if yours were silver, they would look hot IMO.

                  I'm actually considering buying 2 7.5's for up front and selling my front 9's. I first said that I didn't like the staggered look, but I can't find another 16" wheel I like, except Type A's, and the only 15" I'd go with is a Ronal.

                  Honestly, it's up to you, and that's a tough choice. Being's that your Ronal's are black in the center, I say KT1's, if your Ronal's were silver, I'd say roll the Ronal's.

                  Sold.......again.

                    Yeah, but then they'd look like every other Ronal LS out there. These came satin black from the factory and I've never seen another set like them. Kinda makes me hesitant to refinish them.

                        Maybe the 16x9s are $229 and the 16x7.5 are $199. I was just going off of what Yoni had listed in the Keskin wheel thread.

                          I think I paid $240 a peice for mine. $229 seems a little better, still a good price.

                            Refinish the LS's, you will love them fully silver.
