Mk4 with Ronal R10?

**Das Stig** · 09-12-2008, 07:33 PM

What would that look like exactly? Is it even a possible fitment? Did the Ronal R10 turbo wheels come in a 16x7 5 stud size?

I quite like the stock 5 spoke factory alloys my car's wearing right now, I was just thinking outside the box a bit. I know Ronal R10s are considered the dog's bollocks for Golfs, the same as Ronal/ALPINA wheels are for BMWs.

Can someone tell me what sizes the factory 5 spoke alloys are please?

I know they're 16" and they're wearing 205/55-16 tyres. Going by that, I'm guessing they're a 7" width? They are 5 stud. What's the offset and exact centre bore? Offset looks bigger than 20mm. Is centre bore Ø72.56mm like BMW wheels?

i think they are 6 or 6.5 wide..

the 17's (bora sportS) are 17x7.5 and same as the r32 wheels

did you mean these?

dont suit mk4 too well imo

have to agree with pierre on that one.in all these years of loving and owning a mk4 I have never seen a mk4 with those ronal wheels.... great for mk3 and before,but just dont match up with the mk4...

but at the end of the day its you that has to like it..

Never seen them bigger than 15 or in 5 stud.

Yeah, I can see they might not suit the curvier body shape of the Mk4. They would much better suit a car with a proper body with edges and creases in it.

The Ronal R10s are definitely available in a 5 stud. BMW used to use them on E28 528i & E24 635CSi race cars in the '80s and they are both 5 stud. I agree however that I have never seen them above 15".

The 15" 5 stud version is extremely rare and used to be highly sought after in BMW circles. Not so much anymore though because of the 15" limit. There is a large selection of even better period-correct wheels for BMWs available in 16" & 17", so the 15" Ronals sorta got left behind.
