After months of agonizing about wheels and the lack of availability of wheels for the GTO I ordered the Ronal R-41s.

I really wanted to do a staggered set up but I was not going to roll or cut the fenders on my leased car.

I have always liked Ronals and think they make a great product.

The wheels are 18X8 and will come with BFG KDW-2s in 245/40R-18 size.

I'm in at $2100 which is about $100 more than I wanted to spend but I feel I will have a quality wheel/tire package that is hubcentric.

They have to order the BFGs and once they ship it will be a week to get to my house.

So I am guessing about 10 days from today and I will be riding.

Thanks to LigTenExp for his pics and help.
I won't have to think about it anymore and won't be bugging you guys with endless questions.
Couldn't have done it without the wealth of knowledge on this forum.

Now your friends can call you "Teddy"! Oh, you got the R-41. That's a better choice. :D

My car is being leased. I used a staggered setup. I haven't rolled/cut my rear fenders. Maybe you just wanted something different. Seems like this combo is getting popular.

Congrats on the wheels!!! I know you've been looking fo a while. What finish did you get on them? Can't wait to see them. I thought I had my choice narrowed down to Drift R's or Axis Milano's but the Ronal R41's look great. Decisions, decisions?

If they would build the R41s in a 9" for the rear, I'd probably have them.

The ROH's, which would have been slightly cheaper, will not be available until sometime in July.
And the Thruxtons aren't available in silver either.
I felt like if I didn't go ahead and do it, then I never would.
I think I will like them and am interested in seeing how the sterling silver will look with the Quicksilver.

An excellent pick...I looked at those as well.
