Gary....
I gotta tell ya.... My chrome Ronals have BIG TIME wow factor!
The chrome is soooooooo bright, so pure, they REALLY pop against my Pewter car!
Almost too bright!!! :cool:
When I finally drove my car for the 1st time with them just a few miles to pick up my son at a party, at EVERY light, and I mean EACH & EVERY light, I either got a "thumbs up", a honk, or "sweet ride" or other nice comment!
Can't wait to see how things look on a clear sunny day! WOW!
Thanks again,
Ellis

Re: Black/red wheels on red C5.. (indypace78)
Thanks for the comments....YES, our wheels do enhance the LOOK of every Corvette...in my opinion...Should have seen the people hovering around the wheels on several cars...this weekend at the car show....THEY DRAW ATTENTION...
Also, the ride is improved over the Stock configuration, even though we upsize to 18-19" sizes.
The CHROMED wheels definitely draw RAVES....the spokes have so many Beveled Edges...that make the wheel look like THOUSANDS of diamonds, glittering as the wheel turns....
And at 1/2 the price of other wheels...since we're the mfg!
More pic's to come... Thanks again for the comments!!

Re: Black/red wheels on red C5.. (VETTEDUDE)
Sorry, we can't paint on a chrome surface, no adhesion..
However, we do chrome plate any "piece" of a wheel...ie: the outer (rim or barrel) and the Face (or star) of the wheel....
Since the LZ is a 2 piece wheel, we can chrome plate either piece or pieces.
For custom painting, we need to have the wheel unchromed...and then can paint the wheel to any custom painted format and colors! :cheers:

I don't really like them painted but they do look like quality piece. Sometimes things are better in person. Nice wheels :thumbs: I looked back and like the silver and polished outer rim best.

Re: Black/red wheels on red C5.. (Gary@ronal)
Hmmm, wonder if you could polish the center after you paint the lug hole area.
Would like to see the Black/red combo.. Wonder how a Mil Yellow / black center would look ???????
Do you have any pics of the entire center painted something other than silver ? Mil Yellow ?????
