Rondell Wheels On The West Coast

[632 Regal]

mine weigh in at....let me check lol

HOLEY SHYT 25 massive lbs! My god their heavy...but their lookin good next to the Red car.

Rondell wheels are imported exclusively by the "The Wheel Exchange".......there is another source, but I don't know if the pricing is any better. Try Bekker's Imports in Georgia. The owner, Jos Bekker, receives a weekly container imported directly from Germany and was the original Rondell importer, albiet grey market importer as Rondell didn't have an official US distributor before The Wheel Exchange stepped-up......one last thing, those wheels weigh a ton when compared to modern day wheels....but the look, or should I say the large lip, is quite enticing.

I am open for suggestions as to what tires I should get. I have my favorites but technology changes.

I mainly use my car for long distance travelling with an occasional hard tossing in the corners. The tires will be used in the summer only, a plus if they do rain well.

I don't really want a tire with a treadwear rating below 200 and prefer one no harder than 300.

Thanks, I appreciate all the help and suggestions.

do a search, this was posted last week and I also need to read through the replies again before I start another tire surf.

I'm sooooooooo not getting into this again, but......a 17x10" w/ +10 or +15 offset is a TUNER fitment...meaning roll rear fender lips. Unless of course you mount an undersized tire like a 255/40-17. The correct tire for a 10" wide rim is a 275/40-17, but if you wish to be cautious, mount a 265/40-17 on the rear and a 235/45-17 front. My own personal preference would be Falken 451, or the new replacement 452.

HTH,

Peter

Thanks Peter,
I've been doing the research and reading a lot of reviews on tires.
I found many reviews were 2 years old and I know what was hot then isn't neccessarily hot now.

I pulled the Beyerns off my car today. 8 x 17 with 235/45-17 Toyo Proxes4's. Clean-up tomorrow and they go on Craigslist.

I'll go with 235/45's on the front for sure. The jury is still out on the rears.

I noticed in some of the pictures that the sidewalls of the 255's on 10" rims are canted inward slightly, appearing stretched onto the rim somewhat.............................

Wheel Exchange has 8.5 X 17's- et13 on sale for 750.00 plus shipping

I talked Adam down to 700 for a set of two 17x8.5 and two 17x10 just about three months ago.

[Spasso]

Did you buy them?

I am curious as to whether I should go 8.5's all around or go to 8's in front and 10's in the back. I would prefer 9's in the back but they don't list them

Do 10's fit? Tire sizes?

[Macv]

Yes, I have them. 10 on the rear is great. As for sizes, I have 235 front, and 255 rear. The 255's are a stretch, but I don't want to deal with some of the complications people have with 265, 275, etc.

Those look hot but my car is lowered. Don't know if the rears will clear.

Thanks,
