Title: Re: ronal wheels Post by: Dokke/DFL on February 22, 2007, 20:17:16 pm Always nice for a late looker ...
Title: Re: ronal wheels Post by: nicolas on February 22, 2007, 21:38:59 pm nice rim, i think we all are looking for a nice rim on our car. and as cool as the more classic rims are (brm, fuchs, 5 spokes,riviera,...) we all are looking for that special rim that fits our cal-looks as well. this is one of them, a nice late model wheel indeed
Title: Re: ronal wheels Post by: j-f on February 22, 2007, 21:54:11 pm Great wheels, not so common. The only problem I've with is that they arrives very close the fenders with the CB perf spindles and the discs brakes. I have to use 135-15 tyres and it's very limit. Tyres touchs the fender.
I wonder if I will paint it grey again... Do you notice differences between your and mines? (http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/4097/photo0118wp.jpg) Title: Re: ronal wheels Post by: Grelland on February 22, 2007, 22:06:33 pm the raised area between the bolt recesses?

Title: Re: ronal wheels Post by: Robert G on February 23, 2007, 09:42:38 am Hi guys, this is my first post. Until now I was just reading and I have to say it's a great forum.
I like the Ronals also. Just bought a set of them for my bug. In the last months I put a lot work into them. (http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/6281/1000326bxu8.jpg) I painted and polished my wheels a little different but I like it :) Title: Re: ronal wheels Post by: Otto/DFL on February 23, 2007, 10:57:43 am Hi German Vdub!
Cool, a complet different look, like the Gasburners. What size are your rims? And thanks j-f, i´ve seen the picture of your car stucking in the mud at Spa, first i thought it was my car, and get a heart attack! ;D There are not so many cars around detailed Ronals. Otto btw: a company the Germany made the paint and polish on my rims. Title: Re: ronal wheels Post by: jick on February 23, 2007, 11:17:25 am Hi guys, this is my first post.

Title: Re: ronal wheels Post by: alex d on February 23, 2007, 11:32:33 am I like them very much...but then, anyone has a set of 5-lug ronals?

A friend offered me a very nice set for 250 which I found a bit too much and I already had my FV's (see avatar) so I didn't buy them... Title: Re: ronal wheels Post by: Dokke/DFL on February 23, 2007, 12:36:25 pm Jordy : € 250,- for the new model or the old model Ronal wheels ???
Title: Re: ronal wheels Post by: Jordy/DVK on February 23, 2007, 12:44:06 pm New ones (with the flat spots).. the old ones are indeed rarer... Title: Re: ronal wheels Post by: Zach Gomulka on February 23, 2007, 15:31:08 pm They look great detailed on a late looker.

Recently picked up a set of four.... 5x130PCD.... ;D (http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n480/natski62vw/vw018.jpg) In very good original nick..... Wondering if I should detail them... Anyone out there have any more pics to should us? Title: Re: ronal wheels Post by: speedwell on January 29, 2011, 14:52:28 pm don't remember if this one is a remotec 5x205 wheels or a ronal
and here (http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php/topic,20.msg131620.html#msg131620) you can see a ronal and a remotec wheels both are similar design for me ;) fabs Title: Re: ronal wheels Post by: Nico86 on January 29, 2011, 15:01:58 pm The part ogf the spoke that's closer to the center of the wheeel is different on some Ronal wheels : some are "empty" and some are "full" (can't say that in english ???).
They look great painted like this : (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3399/3423153381_f58f515fd9_o.jpg) Title: Re: ronal wheels Post by: Worm on January 29, 2011, 16:34:43 pm I love this thread. Never saw it before. For 2 years I was the Regional Sales rep for Ronal here in Huntington Beach CA. the US distributor. Back then in the late 80's Ronal was quite popular. The R9 was the big hit. We were also Centra Wheels (Ronal/Centra). I cant remember if Centra had anything for VW. The German wheel company should have offered a few options for aircooled.
That was a crazy way to make a living back then. Selling wheels on credit to half ass custom shops that rarely paid their bills. Do not miss that at all. Funny to see the Ronal wheel being used as they were never considered particularly beautiful. The ones on this page were mostly made for Rally and Road racing. I like seeing them.

That bug is awesome,more info please!!!!! :)They look great painted like this : (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3399/3423153381_f58f515fd9_o.jpg) Title: Re: ronal wheels Post by: Zündfunke on January 30, 2011, 00:35:16 am First one Ronal, second one Remotec:

Unfortunately I had a traffic accident where somebody hit the car on the driver's side. During the rebuild I changed the whole look of the car. Now it looks like this... (http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4114/4915714365_6d2aab1612_z.jpg) It's a '69 with 1776cc and 40 Dells. Title: Re: ronal wheels Post by: vwcab on January 30, 2011, 11:47:30 am Hi Robert,the car looks awesome again,didn't knew it was the same car,nice rebuilt .And thx for the info.
