Which Ronal R8 do you think....

ZermattGT · 25-08-09, 08:16 PM

Which Ronal R8 size do you guys feel would be the most versital size to remanufacture in all three VAG PCD's ( 4x100/4x108/5x112)?

I think for the greatest range of models, spacers added to those that really wish to push the look to 8", that 7x15 et 42 on all 3 bolt patterns would be the one.

As near as I can tell R8's were produced in the following sizes.

5.5x13et38/4x100PCD
6x14et45/4x100&108 PCD
6x14et35/4x100 (dished)
6x15et35/4x100
6x15et42/4x100
6x15et45/4x108
7x15et22/5x112 (dished)
7x15et28/4x100 (deep dished)
7x15et35/4x100&108/5x112 (dished)
7x15et37/4x100 (dished)
7x15et42/4x100&108/5x112 (dished)
8x15et24/4x108/5x112 (dished)
9x15et11/4x108 (dished)

While I'm understandingly partial to the extra deep dish of the 7x15 et 28's on my car, the offset is at the limit without flaring the fenders.

Thoughts?

7 x 15 looks good to me. I personally prefer the spoke design in the first photo

I've got 2 sets of 4 but only in 14's and that's 100 and 108 pcd.
15's in 4 x 100 are getting a bit like rocking horse shite!

If mine were 15's I could have sold them a few times over by now!
