This is just a little reminder for those who might be thinking of getting their rims. Get them now.

" 21 February 2008 It’s with a heavy heart that after 29 years, Ronal Wheels, Inc., USA is announcing the closure of the Ronal Aftermarket Wheel Sales location in Huntington Beach, CA. Ronal will concentrate on its profitable, and growing O.E. (Original Equipment or Stock) wheels segment, which was over 13 million wheels in 2007, and is expected to be over 16 million wheels in 2008. The remaining Ronal wheel inventory will be sold to Ronal Distributors at a heavily discounted price. Please see the Ronal dealer list to contact a distributor for a great price for a set of Ronal wheels. We appreciate your support over the years, and wish each and every one of our customers the best of luck. -Ronal USA"

 

Good look! Do you know if discount tire carries Ronal rims? Or are they simply the installers? Their chart is kind of confusing...

 

If you use the RONAL website you will see the U.S.A. dealers.

^Yeah, I saw that page. I don't completely understand. Do I call the "Mail order" guys or the "installer" guys? Too bad there isn't a shop in MN. If the price is right, I will take a trip to Chicago and pick some up...

 

Read what I posted and you will know the answer.

"The remaining Ronal wheel inventory will be sold to Ronal Distributors at a heavily discounted price. Please see the Ronal dealer list to contact a distributor for a great price for a set of Ronal wheels."

*So check the dealer list and find one closest to you and call them and order them and either see if they will ship them or go and pick them up.

 

Alright. Calling discount tire right now...Will update with results.

The guy there has never heard of it. Told me to bring a picture and go from there. Lets go to the next one..

WAUKEGAN TIRE CO. #1 says they do not have it.

 

They might not carry them anymore. I noticed they got rid of a lot of rim options that they sold before and now they don't.

Call them up and ask. If you can't get anywhere with the first guy ask for a supervisor. If that doesn't work ask for their supervisor and so on and so forth.

 

Alright. I talked to another Waukegan place, and he said they had some at their warehouse. So the first guy was being an asshat. However, no 17" in 5x108 for the R41s.

He directed me to one of their parts managers. He's going to call right now and get me a price for the 5x108s.

Edit: He claled and it went to voicemail. I'll call back in a couple days and give you guys an update for the price.

The current price is 125 bucks a rim.

 

I may get some rims for my tricycle.
