I like the R41s but it doesn't look like they make a size larger than 8" wide.
Can't fit wider tires on the back with an 8" width.

Yeah, those Ronal's are not for someone that requires a staggered fitment. I really like the R-41s too, and was interested to see how nice they looked in 17" with OEM tires on. Not a bad option for those wanting a better look than OEM, but needing to stay on a budget. The R-38 with the polished lip look pretty sweet, as does the anthracite custom variant.

I am definately going to give them a call about the R41's. They can do up to a +50 offset on them. A 275 from certain manufactures might fit right? I know that some are narrower than others and a 8" rim isn't really meant to support a 275. Maybe otherwise just going to the stock 245 width with a 40 aspect ratio will work.

The R41's look sharp, wondering how they look polished? What's the best price on those? I check there website and the 17X8 were $220 ea in silver.

they were running a special last month, buy 3 get the 4th free. I couldn't ever get them to reply to email and didnt call them. If you contact them and are able to let them know there are at least two people who would buy a set maybe they will do a special again. Another words I'll get a set if they offer that special again.
here is the original thread in refrence to the discount-

Hey,
I just ordered a set of the Ronal R41 18x8 with Pirelli Pzero Nero M+S tires. The hubs on these are hub centric, no rings needed. So they should fit great! I will have some pictures soon, they will be here sometime next week.

Where did you by them from? What size tires did you put on them? 245/40-18"?

Those R-41's are very similar to the good ole AE 077. Looks good though :cool:

yeah they should look nice. Our cars need the 18" wheels, theres too much sidewall on our cars with the stock tires. It looks like my intrepid does lol.

I dont know if you can beat the look of these genuine 18" wheels on a GTO, they just look sharp.

Ronal wheels are reputed to be very heavy!

Compared to the 12 lb centerlines on my Grand Prix, that's heavy.
