Default For those of you who encouraged me not to buy the Ronals.....

I should have listened. Bent to rims today and according to the shop here in Celebration, they can't be repaired. So,I have 4 newer 17" tires and 2 good rims. After thinking it over, I decided to go back to the stock 16" rims. Thanks goodness those were still laying around, unfortunately they need new tires......Oh well, I guess I can't say that I wasn't warned.

Thanks for all the recommendations against the rims, next time I'll listen.

Default It might be just as cheap to get new rims than new tires probably.

Edge racing sells flik wheels pretty cheap. I haven't heard of them bending. I think Jon 1.8t has a set as well.

Default Cool. Just give me a call on sunday when you have a time that works.

No pressure, if this weekend doesn't work out then some other time. I have my stock rims back on the car, so I can atleast drive it around town until I pick up the rims from you. Thanks again.

Default I remember seeing your car at the Monterey Historics in '00 with those rims.

You had some wider Dunlops on the rims which made them look much better than on my car. I think I went out and put wider tires on my R28s shortly after that.
