[camarocrazy42]

[LTb1ow]

[transmaro93]

[camarocrazy42]

Uhh....

[zraffz]

$1,600 for those?!?
If I was spending $1,600 on wheels I'd expect them to be made of some sort of ultra light weight space metal.

[The_Bishop]

Aluminum?

[zraffz]

Aluminum?

No man. I'm sure they have some super rare alloy that weighs next to nothing. Or maybe I'm just a stooge lol.

[Tru2Chevy]

They look good, but not $400/each good.

Aluminum?

I would think they would advertise that fact if they were...

[camarocrazy42]

yea im kinda changin my mind now. it was just the moment that i saw them; it was my first impression pretty much

[Mike]

Think. Then thread.

And yet, they don't (or didn't for a while) fit a 2nd gen.

What wheels are $400 each, the fikses? it isn’t those cast YO wheels. They are under $1000 a set last I heard.

Fikses are probably forged aluminum with custom (ie CORRECT) offset, not china cast crap with poor offset choices.

eh?

[BonzoHansen]

typo, sorry.

I know intro price on those wheels was like $700. I think it's around $1000 now and includes lugs & center caps.

[WildBillyT]

Still don't fit?

[LTb1ow]

Why stray from the tried and true?

[WildBillyT]

Fikses would look good on a garbage truck. I've never seen them on anything that did not look awesome. That is if you have the $, of course.

For reasonably priced 3rd gen stuff that doesn't need funky spacers, Paul H's CTW stuff looks very good.

[BonzoHansen]

http://images.yourdictionary.com/images/definitions/lg/cinder-block.jpg

because the 4th gen guys are taking all of them.

don't get me going on a YO rant.

[PolarBear]

Word, they only fit the second gen if the car is a 4X4, but they work on other cars, like the Chevelle I think

:nod:

Thats what I came in here thinking that was being shown, especially since the Z28 wheel is not from a 3rd gen

FWIW I think that pic of those wheels on that yellow 3rd gen look good.

WBT they now have a 17x8 you can make work up front so you can now buy their 2nd gen wheels to actually fit a 2nd gen and not just every other GM car made. But I dont really want a 17x8/17x9 setup.

I ran the fm10's on my vette back in the day...great rim, excellent quality and forged. Ronals look great but are period correct. Got to go w/a staggered setup regardless but bonspeed makes a nice 5star rim for ours..

[ar0ck]

CCW Classics, They can go on any car and still look good.

The wheels pictured in the OP.....$1600 / set shipped to your door = $400 each.

I believe the Fikses are more.

[WildBillyT]

The Year One wheels are $800 a set on their web site?

Then I guess Fbody Warehouse is making a killing on them whenever they happen to sell a set.

[donnj]

"whenever they happen to sell a set" and IF EVER.......

[BonzoHansen]

- Justin

He does include shipping but his prices are way high. YO has then at 899 for 4 with caps and lugs. Plus shipping. So my guess is $1000

If you can get me fikses for $1600 a set I'll take them

[1320B4U]

What wheels did the op post?? 17" snowflake ones for 3rd gens???

[greenformula92]

in case you were wondering what a 3rd gen camaro looks like with the firehawk wheels (Ronal R15 for those that don't know)

[deadtrend1]

Maybe in another 5 years Ronal will feel frisky and do a run of 10 sets again ...

[BonzoHansen]

Formula 43 RAD14s - 18” starting at $895.00 each. Gotta pay to play!

yeah I would buy a set. they are cheaper new than used

A few companies have them listed for pre-sale on the websites, $299 each plus shipping. Kind of a rip, when I bought them ~6 years ago I paid $200 each shipped, but I guess it is nice to have them offered again. Plus one of mine is all scratched up from when I blew out a tire, I wish i had bought 5 at the time instead of just 4 :|

Supposedly shipping date was yesterday

Summit has them in stock as far as i know...I may throw my set on my camaro but just bought new rims last spring for it..again.

I think those are just replicas. Idk if there are even Ronal's

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

It says replica on the site so my guess is yes :lol:

[PolarBear]

I think those are just replicas. Idk if there are even Ronal's

Based on the Summit Racing P/N I am guessing they are made by OER

[greenformula92]

So they are charging more for a fake....sounds like the typical rip off. they will sell though

[BonzoHansen]

More than what? Can you buy a new one otherwise?

[V]

well fake is a harsh term... its says its a replica, replicas can be fine...

The point is... people like the ronals for the styling right?
ok, so they matched the style with a new brand/model of wheel.
there are replica cobra kit cars, yet i don't hear them referred to much as fakes.

[greenformula92]

More than what? Can you buy a new one otherwise?

When Ronal made another production run a few years ago they were 200.00 a wheel. the replica is 299.99 per wheel

[sweetbmxrider]

And prices haven't changed for anything since the 50's :lol: Add a little supply and demand to the mix, congrats. You have reached your market value.

Not my market value lol

[1320B4U]

Thats why if i sell mine great...if not, no harm no foul....i'm thinking g/body or 1st gen s10 in the future anyhow.

[PolarBear]

Prices shouldnt go up $125 in 6 years for cast wheels IMO.

[1320B4U]

If they found the need to reproduce these wheels due to demand you bet they will charge a premium.....unfortunately.
