Well I finally got my car rolling on the 18"s after a long winters wait.

**Info**
The wheels are 18x8 Ronal R-7's charcoal colored.
The tires are 225/35/18 Nakang NS-II


hope you like










I would like to thank Doug for his 82-92 Trans-Am rear spoiler idea

What year is that beauty?

Wondering if that wheel setup would fit on my 83 242 without rolling the lips?

Beautiful car ma friend.

Love it, Love it, Love it.

i want those rims..

are they 18's or 17's? look like 18's in the pic

ive seen some show cars on sites with those same ronal wheels but the ones with the extra super dip dish. how do they fit those in? cuz ronal sells those, the onels with the sick ass deep dish, only for SUV's and trucks.

those are teh ones ive been thinking of lately, but i want the deep dish ones cuz i love the lip baby

The car is an 1987
I had to roll the lips although the car is so stiff with the Eurosport tunging springs that I almost didn't have to . Was just this one tiny bit wheel whell that touched the tires on severe bumps.

That Car is absoultely Stunning and the scenery is breathtaking.

Thankyou for rekindling my interest in visiting Iceland, i have just spent the last 30mins working out my holiday for next year, there is a beer festival in March which looks like good entertainment for the evenings after days out exploring the country.
