Default want new wheels! want to see something not everyone has!

I have been looking for wheels now for a year and i cant find anything I like that I dont see on hundreds of other cars. I dont care for the CCW wheels as everyone seems to have them. I am not looking to go reproduction as well. Looks like a forged wheel is the ticket for me so show me something different you dont see everyday on here


Thanks in advance.

they are for a 99 Black Coupe

Bet you'd be hard pressed to find many more cars with either of these two wheels...

Chrome Ronal LZ-VT 19/18


Weld EVO BC-10s 19/19, old style with the big lip and 11inch width

I can give you a price on some great Forged wheels. We can dish them and offer custom finishes. Tons of options.

Thanks for the link. I myself do not like the concave look on wheels. But they do look like nice wheels for someone who might be looking for that look. Thanks for letting me know about them.

They line up the same as my Welds, I honestly don't know what the Weld offset is but neither one sticks out.

I bought them from Tom's wheels before he shut down. From what I understand these wheels were changed when American Racing Bought out Weld. They do not make the 19x11 anymore as the new rims by American Racing are 19x10.5 and the lip was reduced in size. There is a forum member who was selling my exact set for $2600 shipped with brand new nittos that I was talking to before I bought the ronals. I could probably still find his contact info, he might have more info than I do.

I just did a search, mine are 19x9.5 +58mm and 19x11 +65mm, the new rims are 19x9.5 +58mm and the rear is 19x10.5 + 70mm.

I can't tell the difference between them and the Ronals, I know it is there, but you'd be hard pressed to find a bystander that could tell the difference

YUP, just went and checked again and I cannot tell the difference, if there is one it is 1/4" MAYBE and only when the cars are literally side by side.

Unique and good looking usually means expensive. I'll recommend Fikse, HRE, and Forgeline as good companies to look at.
