Ronal Turbo's are a very nice wheel, its Ronal LS's that are supposed to look like BBS.

They dont make Ronal Turbo's anymore so if you see a set on ebay then get them. I want a set for next year but its just finding some when I have the money. I was watching a set last week actually, Went for £315 without tyres and were kerbed slightly, nothing major.

Post by: Dub_Dude_16v on 28 September 2006, 23:02
They don't make these anymore (http://www.dubmeister.co.uk/wheels/ronal_r10turbo.jpg)  :angry:

Always wanted a set since i was a little boy  :cry:

What about these?

(http://www.dubmeister.co.uk/wheels/th_line815.jpg)

These are what i really want but at £286 each they a bit out of my price range  :sad:

Title: Re: Do i or do i not...
Post by: Neaty on 28 September 2006, 23:11
Yea sadly they dont make Ronal Turbo's anymore, I have always wanted some myself.

TH Mono's are the wheel I would want if I had my arches rolled as they are 8inch wide.

What are those bottom ones?
Title: Re: Do i or do i not...
Post by: Dub_Dude_16v on 28 September 2006, 23:15
Ronal's are going at very high prices now. I'm hoping i may be able to track some down at a show next year at a steal  :undecided:

The bottom wheels are called "Compomotive CXN" Go to http://www.dubmeister.co.uk/ Click on alloys and go to Compomotive. Yeah i haven't got my arches rolled either. Think i might as well get it done while it's at the bodyshop for colour coding.
Title: Re: Do i or do i not...
Post by: Neaty on 28 September 2006, 23:19
yea if you see some going cheap, get them. Could refurb them and make a tidy profit. or even better hold onto them until I can buy them off you  :laugh:

yea worth doing whilst you have it in the body shop i think they are 8 x 16's those TH Mono's. I saw them in the flesh at Inters and E38, stunning!

Post by: Stu.750 on 28 September 2006, 23:19
So the wheels are goin then? what about some porker wheels , D90s done to death but what about Fuchs or teledials ??
Title: Re: Do i or do i not...
Post by: Dub_Dude_16v on 28 September 2006, 23:23
Ooooooooo don't get me started on teledials  :cool:  :drool: Always loved those wheels! Think they look better on a beetle though?

I think the worst decision in life is deciding what wheels to get. After all get the wrong wheels and the car will look sh!te, get the right wheels and you're laughing!

Hmmmm make a profit by ripping off neaty  :grin: Sounds good  :laugh:

Yeah 8x15, et 25
Title: Re: Do i or do i not...
Post by: Stu.750 on 28 September 2006, 23:27
What about , teledials painted the same as your car but with a polished rim and polished centre parts of the dials ,
think they look cool on a mk2 , dont see em that often either
 
Title: Re: Do i or do i not...
Post by: Dub_Dude_16v on 28 September 2006, 23:30
That idea sounds good :afro:

Would have to have re-drilling of the hub and stuff though wouldn't i  :undecided:
Title: Re: Do i or do i not...

Those Compomotives are the ones I've always wanted for my Mi16 but at £246 each could never justify it!
Still love em though!

Post by: Judderi on 02 October 2006, 08:33
I really like the schmidts you posted earlier. Ive seen some highly polished ones with spike centres that looked really cool. And ive only ever seen a couple on a mk2.
