    Regardless, still a very reasonable price for a sick wheel.

      Just because it came from the factory and others don't have it doesn't necessarily make them better. Personally, I think that unless your lip is stepped, a flat lip with black centers can look sort of tacky.

      Many other people have silver centers because: they look way better than black centers.

      Not trying to down talk you, or come off condescending at all. I'm just saying I think that silver centers would make it look WAY better... also "so many other people have it".. how many of those are around where you live........ probably none.

            No harm, no foul. I think the issue at hand is I want something bigger and wider. While the Ronals are a great OEM+ wheel, I've grown tired of them and want something more aggresive...hence the KT1s.

            I'll let the next owner decide what to do with them.

                The Ronals looks great in person. I've never seen another set like that either. I wish I had another E30 so I had an excuse to buy them back.



                As for the KT1s, I really like those too.

                So...

                    Keep the Ronals...

                    But they NEED silver or gold centers. I think gold weaves look awesomely old-skool on red cars, especially zinno red.

                      I've loved every minute of having them. Other than suspension, it was by far the best purchase I've made for my car. I'm just ready for a change especially after finding out how much brand new KT1s will cost me shipped to my house.

                        You know you're going to want to go lower as soon as you put the KT1's on. If you're not on coils then you need to think about that too.

                        I really like the ronals, but I agree that they aren't very aggressive.

                          It's all part of the plan. GC's will happen before the end of the year.

                              The Ronals all the way. Silver centers would do them justice.
