Is anyone able to show me the extent of the diamond cut on the front and rear Ronal 15 spoke alloys?

Cheers

Hi David, Welcome to the TTF.
I will move your post into the MK1 section, you should get more replies.
Hoggy.

This is an unrestored low milage rim, hope it helps.

So is that the lip and the bevel that are cut.??. (note the rears have a bigger bevel..). Later RS wheels only appear to have the lip diamond cut..??

Hi, Just the rim/lip.
Hoggy.

I found this photo which looks to be more than just the lip and seems to be what I have on original rims..??

This one also shows that more than just the lip is cut.?

DC240S is the man to talk to as he's a stickler for originality.

Check out his thread, his QS is awesome.....https://www.ttforum.co.uk/forum/viewtop ... 2&t=959610

looks like the machinist has also taken off some more to produce a step, hence these can't be original and have been
restored & machined at least once.

They originals all have a step.. The step/bevel being bigger on the rear due to the stagger front/rear. The only thing being car photos don't have enough resolution to really show the extent of the diamond cut. In the absence of a definitive answer I guess I'll go with my original look i.e.

Here's an image of my NOS rear rim:





And a set of new rims I purchased from Audi:





The diamond cut extends up to the beginning of the rolled/painted face between the spoke. Make sure the company refurbishing are fully aware of the thicker/extended lip on the rears and don't machine this off so they all look the same - its a distinguishing feature you want to keep!

Also the rims are not manufactured by Ronal but STN in Poland - also an OEM for Porsche.

Thanks DC, Exactly what I needed..

I've weighed them before - haven't the exact figure but recall they arnet the lightest.

Next time Im in the garage I'll weigh the spare rear again.
