Default Ronal Wheels

Interested in buying a set of Ronal LZ-VT 18/19 set of wheels for 04 vert. Does anyone have a picture of these wheels on a MSG? Also, are there any vendors other than directly from Ronal? If you have a set of Ronal LZ-VT would appreciate any comments. Thanks

I believe Ken King at Vette Essentials sells Ronal wheels. I've seen a set on a yellow C5 and they look great!

Sorry, no pics of Ronal's on a MSG Vette. While I personally think chrome would look great offset against MSG, Ronal will paint their wheels any color/combination you want. Although I have never seen this, you may want to use MSG as one of the colors in a combination if you went with a painted wheel like I did with my black coupe below; torch red accents match interior. I got my Ronals through Ken King and he was great to deal with.

Good Luck,

Joe



Pics of my wife's '03 MSG Vert with high polished wheels - you can imagine what chrome would look like:

These wheels are just beautiful on the C5. Check with Ken on the prices. West Coast Corvettes also sells them.
