Penta style equipment
Many historic cars of German brands were equipped with the R9 in the typical Penta style in the mid-70s to late 80s or later converted to it. The rim was first produced in 1981 in 15 inch and was then also available in 16 inch.
Interest in retro design
The Ronal Group is now reintroducing the star rim to its range in the 15-inch variant in response to the great demand for the classic rims from the early days. The retro design, which shaped an entire generation of car fans, will be available from January 2020 in the vintage finish silver-horn-copied in the size 7.0×15 inches with the bolt circles 5×112 and 5×120.
Tested and approved
The new edition of the R9 rim is tested and approved for some historic vehicle models for the road. Suitable for example for the Mercedes W123, VW Transporter T3, BMW 5/1 and 5/H, it gives every classic car a distinctive look.
