Well, what do you think?

Intense discussion about the decals will be one for sure :wink:
-
Love em! :D
-
What size are those in the pics
:signLOL: :signLOL: :signLOL:
-
I really like it!
If i was going for the Euro look, then i'd definitely consider them!
-
yeah there tastey :happy2: around the £800 mark as well not to bad!
-
....
What do I think? - Yuk!! Horrible! OK as a plastic hubcap on a steel wheel. And how good are they at brake cooling?
-
And how good are they at brake cooling?
Probably better than the Monzas tbh!

....You reckon? I guess we need T_T to add his technical comments.
Either way, I still think they are in poor taste, but ETTO.

I would imagine that the Ronal design allows the air to be drawn in/sucked out of the centre rather than flowing over the top as per the Monzas.
And if they're lighter than standard wheels then thats enough of a reason for me :)
Reduce the unsprung weight etc.
-
^^^^
Fair enough 8). I just hate the way they look.
-
I like those a lot! But I think they'd suit my mk2 better. ;)
-
wow thats an old design look, I remember mates fitting that type of look to novas to give the rally look back in late 80s.
I think they would look ok on my silver standard look mk1 GTI but not sure they would look right on a new more rounded car like the mk5
-
i looked at these about 4 months ago and i like them :grin: old school rims mixed up for the new car and i also like these

now VW should have put these on the pireli gti 8)

Hmm, you'd have them de-stickered obviously! They remind me, like Snoopy of the stuff you used to see on the likes of a gravel rally stage cars. I'm sure they real ones are optimised for cooling, whether the Ronal is all show though I dunno?
Not sure how they'll look on a MKV, I saw one on similar looking 18" Schmidts and they just looked lost.

ergh....im sorry but i am NOT a fan of these ronals at all!! i couldn justify those looks even if they were lighter than my phone!
-
They would look great on an older car i.e. Mk1 or Mk2 but for a Mk5....im not so sure :surprised:
-
Those TH Lines are 17's mate..
Think the new Ronals are nice, would look good on a slammed White Mk5.. :laugh: :laugh:

mine will be having some rs6 rims in black at some point :wink:
-
^^^^
There's lowered and there's slammed, and the kind of 'slammed' in that pic is simply ridiculous, literally ridiculous! IMO & ETTO etc etc :rollseyes:
-
you need to see the work it took to get that car as low as it will go :grin: i will find it and post the link up

....Well, others may be interested but, I'm sorry, I really don't like the look of the Mk5 slammed to such an extreme and also it must greatly restrict it's driveability and that's just stupid. I'm actually surprised how much it offends me! :grin:
-
you want to see my bug and my camper :grin:

if it aint rubbing it aint dubbing :wink:
-
^^^^
Yes, but rubbing-dubbing suits bugs and campers far better than the mk5 (in my opinion) :happy2: 8) :happy2:
-
New wheel..... looks like a re cast of the old Ronal Turbo from the 80's..... Not for the GTI IMO
-
Is anyone handy with Photoshop, just to see what they actually look like on a car?
-
Looks way too stark but gives you an idea of how they would look.. Sure they would be far better in the flesh!!

Looks better than I thought, I don't know if they'd be for me - but they're not terrible.
One thing is for sure, trading on notoriety alone I think these will be everywhere this year.
-
I still think they'd look better on my MK2 :chicken:
