Is Ronal still making those wheels? Last I checked (over the summer I think), they were taking orders for a special order, and if their werent enough people, they werent gonna do it...or have they changed their minds?

All of these cars look awesome, I'm just of big fan of the 16"stock wheels from a Z28.

Re: Looking for pics of Camaro with the 82-92 Ronal (Firehawk) rims

You know I used to hate these wheels but they are growing on me. They remind me of a modified 91-92 wheel with a deeper dish. And thanks for bringing back a 3 year old thread.

They have been discontinued. They can be bought used, but they are expensive. Check the classifieds here.

Re: Looking for pics of Camaro with the 82-92 Ronal (Firehawk) rims

Thanks for the info, I was told that Ronal makes limited runs on them based on requests. Any truth to that at all?

As far as I know the final run for these wheels was about 5 years ago if memory serves.

Yeah, they would look better on an 80s car.

Re: Looking for pics of Camaro with the 82-92 Ronal (Firehawk) rims

I purchased the last set brand new never mounted for the original price thanks to my friend Marc Drillick aka yachtmd- Marc passed away the day before I was there in Miami to make the pickup

Re: Looking for pics of Camaro with the 82-92 Ronal (Firehawk) rims

These wheels were put back on the market about 7 years ago. At the time Ronal said that it was to be the very last production run and as far as I aware they have not produced any since. Any that were still available would have been produced back then I strongly suspect.

What size tires are you putting on these wheels?

245/45 17 = height:25.68 in. width:9.65 in.

275/40 17 = height:25.66 in. width:10.83in.


there are a few different choices

U can go with 245/45/17 on the front
and 275/40/17 on the rear

What are the choices and are the tire sizes listed here correct?
