Subject:Re: ronal r9 replicas?

The R9 is no longer made because Ronal said the molds were damaged.

Penta wheels were very similar and wad used by AMG during the same era
that they used the R9 on their cars. Quality is about the same as the
Ronal.

Right around the same time period, a company called AIR made a wheel
which looks very much like the R9. Quality is not so good as evidenced
by several sets I previously owned. In every case, the sellers told me
they were R9 replicas. Curious that all the ones I got were W126
(380sec, 500sec, 560sec) cars tarted up to look like AMG cars.

As far as new replicas of the R9 today, I have not seem any yet.

Hope that helps.
