I’m here for those dope ass teddybear wheels and teddybear rims only.

[@etotako]

I have 3xsets teddy 14" for sale. Also 3xsets Koala 13"

[@Greenbear39]

How much an will they fit a 1986 Toyota Camry 4dr front wheel drive

[@chrishunter9784]

Nothing bizarre about creating a lasting gimmick people are still talking about. The word you're looking for is genius. Ronal and BBS have always had my respect over any other wheel manufacturers.

[@therealderjett]

It's that damn Teddy bear wheel!

[@Bikini_ST]

3:22 the word you are looking for is "ja" or "yas". Das is german for "the"

[@funkolog]

Ja natürlich!

[@noelsoto4329]

I like the serious with jokes videos you guys do, like this one... actual facts but with a twist to make it fun and educational 😂

[@Figureight]

Ronal Turbos are rare? I've got a set of early Phase 2 Ronal Turbos in the garage, one with a huge dent from smacking a pothole, the others all with questionable hand drilled centers to fit over the huge hubs of my old Colt. I imagine mine doesn't have as much value.

[@THESLlCK]

I literally just finished one of your videos @Figureight

This is what happens when you let a fast food clown head up a rim company... #RonalMcDonal

[@FitmentIndustries]

😂😂😂

[@SohilSahare009]

Please please please make more of these videos talking about lesser known automotive giants and manufacturing techniques. Great video!

[@Thejordanenthusiast]

As a GTI owner with a rare set of multipiece Brabus Monoblock IV wheels made by Ronal, this is an enjoyable video. Side note: I believe they also made those Michelin Man wheels too.

[@blakeyou538]

I dont remember which ones they were, but i picked up a set of 2 piece brabus wheels made by BBS from a local junkyard. Sold them to a collector

[@2stroketurbo]

I have set of 4 of these RONAL TURBO wheels 15x8 fits 4 bolt VW. they are nice. had them 30 years. make me an offer

[@maxx-er3fj]

2stroketurbo That is 4*100 holes,if those are R10 they are expensive af

[@2stroketurbo]

MAXX YT Hey thanks for your reply I think there are R 10s but they say Ronal Turbo on the flat centers just like in the video. I had them on my 1st gen 1975 Scirocco many years ago

[@maxx-er3fj]

2stroketurbo They are probably R10 then,contact me on ig and send me pictures of them so I can see are those R10,and I love 1st gen scirocco

[@maxx-er3fj]

instagram.com/warum_fragst_du_das

[@maxx-er3fj]

2stroketurbo they can be R10,but I am not sure,it should be written in the inside part of wheels where are holes

[@wws1327]

Always enjoy watching and learning about different wheels and tire history. Love this channel. O and CONGRATULATIONS ON 50000 subscribers 👍👍👍👍👍

[@FitmentIndustries]

THANK YOU!!!!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@maserukururu5523]

The r10 and r50 turbo are still in production and you can get them for a decent low price here in Germany

[@RayNLA]

I remember the Teddy Bears from the 90’s!!!

[@emilionaranjo5894]

for 50k you guys should do an edit of all the employee cars at fitment ind. and as the channel/company grows bigger, make edits per every milestone. just a thought tho loving what you guys are doing (:

[@eppyz]

The OEM "Laguna" rims on my MK6 VW GTI had a Ronal stamp on the inside of them. Very strong rims. Not the lightest out there but pretty strong.

[@Thejordanenthusiast]

Jeff Eppenger Most OEM VW wheels are made by Ronal. Lagunas are the most attractive ones though 👌🏽

[@shwayjayy]

Only here for the bear. Been following felgen works on these wheels.

[@ThePigschannel]

The Incas are still in my opinnion the best looking wheels to date.

[@MrGuvEuroman]

I love the Teddies :D I also want a set of *_TURBOS_*

[@VladGrigorestudio]

I think the turbo is in reproduction on ronal factory so you can buy it .. .

[@Gigaguenther]

The teddies used to be soo popular on small cars like twingos, but you dont see em anymore...takes me back

[@stuffhappens5681]

Those Ronal Inca wheels looked fantastic on black Saab 900 Turbos. We used to call them Darthvader wheels. And the Ronal A1 “phone dial” wheels were iconic on 80s Alfa-Romeos.

[@vickramos9234]

Can you guys tell us something about Borbet??? I have a set and don't know anything about them

[@FitmentIndustries]

We sure can!

[@JohannesHauck]

they are one of the oldest German brands, around since 1881 before there even were alloy wheels

[@soulshardmusic2389]

Waiting for this. I have type td's on my b6 a4

[@mikz86ta1]

Got the special offset version they did for the '91-'92 Firehawks on my '86TA. Not light but that deep squared dish makes them stand out

[@thehighlife1320]

I only knew of the r36 from the 98-00 Chevrolet Tahoe Limited. But just now I find out Ronal was a big wheel company that I had seen in my childhood of the 80s and 90s. If I could afford 17" x 8" 5 x 5" r36, if they exist. I would grab 12 wheels. To daily drive, to destroy tires, and to blast high speed on freeways at night. On a 88-98 c1500 scsb. Hell, even with a home built 4.3 turbo like a Typhoon or Syclone. My list on engines and drivetrains can go on for a bit.

[@cocoloco1994]

Underrated quality wheels, i used to run them ronal R8s

[@stephenr7931]

I absolutely love this channel and I'd love to see a wheel history on borbet wheels. Thanks for the amazing content

[@FitmentIndustries]

It’s on the list!

[@stephenr7931]

Fitment Industries that's great to hear I'm currently running them on my 1985 Audi 4000 cs Quattro.

[@maserukururu5523]

The old and new Borbet A are just so awesome looking

[@zqck]

the teddys 💖

[@prt18]

Have had a lot of Ronal wheels under different cars. Specially proud of Turbos from 1987 in 4x108. Have also a set of Teddys in restoration process at the moment - strange, different, but i absolutely love them.

[@shisui7307]

Awesome! Just a couple of videos ago I asked you about the R10 Turbo wheel. Along the BBS RS by far my favourite german wheel.

[@SofaKingTouge]

Back when I was a kid I always remember seeing the near wheels in magazines. Never seen them in real life.

[@GrumpyShihTzu]

Alex's hand gestures were on point!!

[@FitmentIndustries]

😂😂

[@twinturbo1989]

Another cool video. Well done once again!

[@FitmentIndustries]

Thanks homie 🖤

[@yak1811]

You made my day, thanks.

[@FitmentIndustries]

Of course 🖤

[@Rodhizzzle]

I got a pair of Ronal Turbo's on my mk1 Golf. THEY ARE AWESOME!

[@FitmentIndustries]

YESSSS

[@fkn_sent2232]

What are the red and polished lip wheels up on the wall?

[@stefanstojanovic3410]

Do Remotec next. Seriously, it's so difficult to find any data on them online, but I think you guys would crush it.

[@FitmentIndustries]

good idea!!

[@ThatCrazyMechanic]

Damn didn't know that they help make the famous Inca rims for saab. Love the design of them.

[@crushkrew]

Did I miss the picture of the 3 piece magnesium center turbo wheels?

[@thefiascogarage3215]

First time I ever heard of them was the '91-'92 Firehawks. I don't think anybody thought it was the best looking wheel possible, and they could've just used a 17" matched offset GTA copy, but every time I see a 3rd gen Formula with those wheels.... Man, something absurd happens in my brain.

[@rvborgh]

love my R-28s :)

[@Mk-cv6ol]

I have a set of the ronal racing wheels. It’s a set that I will never split with. 5:00 and the multi pice turbo was actually called ronalracing.

[@TheTrueArix]

They made a remake of the Ronal Turbo that is avaible right now. And you can get the Teddy Wheels for cheap in germany.

[@TheHaferkeks]

TheTrueArix Not that cheap for the teddy's, but the Ronal Turbo Remakes are cheap as chips

[@petroldevo9934]

Some of his rim designs are sick !

[@calvinlee5289]

any chance of a series about parts companies outside of wheels? eg TRA-kyoto, HKS, Greddy etc?

[@garryemerson211]

I am dying to get the Ronal Aero 18”. Will Fi be an authorized seller of it soon? Paddock Performance are sellers of Ronal but they charge a lot for shipping. I have faith in you Fitment Industries 🙏🏼

[@xXFIREWIREXx]

I think with the re release of the spoon sw388 its time to do a Desmond regamaster video.

[@InFamousDmac]

xXFIREWIREXx the regas are coming back too

[@xXYannuschXx]

One of the most beautiful Ronal OEM wheels is the Ronal Arrasate in my opinion.

[@marceloho1984]

My favorite wheels: Ronal 0020141 and 0020142. If you understand this, thumbs up. btw, this Punto GT is pretty cool.

[@felixf5211]

Very interesting. Didn't know any of this.

[@jamie-ox8sg]

The r10 turbo is readilly available online I've owned 2 sets from new

[@francismcraymond2646]

Beer and problem best duo

[@matirs342]

Wheel history videos have gotten much more serious and mature now, Iong gone are the first videos with memes and vines. It kinda lost the magic hahaha. I guess editors have less time. Congrats on 50k subscribers. You might add Desmond to the list. Because Russia. Just in time for the Football (ehm....soccer) World Cup

[@FitmentIndustries]

Editing time has been a major issue. We’re looking to expand our team so we can make more time to improve the quality for you guys. Don’t worry, we’re going to bounce back hard 💪🏽 - Mario

[@matirs342]

Fitment Industries Quality is great right now, good to know that it's gonna get better.

[@Ammageddon89]

Never heard about Speedline. Heard masses about Ronal. ^^

[@TheBobes]

Ronals are nice. Not forged amazing but for the $ they are awesome. They have a plant near my hometown and if you know the right guy they will sell you the wheels super cheap on the side.

[@FitmentIndustries]

Now thats a plug 😂

[@danielcabrera8225]

Daddy Alex back with another fire video

[@milkbxy1632]

Idk if you guys already did a video on these, but if you guys haven’t can you guys make a video on “FERRADA” wheels???

[@FitmentIndustries]

we can look into it!

[@tommcmahon14]

Love those mk1 fiat Punto GT turbos only a few left in the UK now though

[@jareknowak8712]

Ronal - Made in Walbrzych, Poland, where i live.

[@boerharms2209]

I have Ronal wheels on my Manta, great wheels!

[@fila1445]

You still can buy r10 turbo brand new from ronal

[@NEOMASS0]

gotta admit those Inca wheels are kinda dope! a little art deco 4:10

[@maxxas5067]

I can't look at you the same. Forrest Gump thumbnail was and still is the best f**king one in my opinion

[@badboyr66]

The Ronal Turbo was not introduced as the R10. They order is Turbo Phase 1s :these ones have a smooth face with no logo: ..then the Turbo Phase 2s..and then the R10. Note, you cannot get the newer R10s in the original Phase 1 or Phase 2 offsets either. That is what makes the R10s less desirable. A set of Phase 1s make BBS RSs look common. they are so rare.

[@JDMTenshi]

Will you guys do a Vossen wheels Vid?

[@theepicbromance3016]

I own ronal r50 on my golf r32 and they are so beautiful

[@casinoboy8871]

I saw the ready bears the other day how rare is that?

[@Captain_Kid]

Beer, uzi vert, and the truth about vids!! = ❤️

[@TheSlowDude]

[@pecata3277]

Hey, would you consider selling Team Dynamics on your site?

[@FitmentIndustries]

We can check it out!

[@brianborell4469]

FYI Ronal used to make most alloy wheels for GM... In China.

[@TheXShOcKwAvEz]

Just bought a set of Remotec KBA wheels for my 190E, this is the closest I found to know the origin of the company. I though it was Borbet that started a parternship with another company and went from Remotec to call themselves Borbet.

[@mirceacristescu5320]

When will you make a video about RH wheels?

[@FitmentIndustries]

Stay tuned we have a bunch of videos we are working on!

Never herd of this guy, lol. My name is Ronal although it's pronounced Ron-Al, first time in my life that I've seen someone with that name and spell it the same way.

[@ThinkHarder]

these are enlighting

[@JohannesHauck]

It should be noted that you can still buy Ronal Turbos (including the mentioned R10) new from the factory...while they had been out of production for a few years, they no longer are for yerars now. And they are not exactly rare, you see them all the time in Europe, just not in the US: www.ronal-wheels.com/de/r10-turbo-polished-bps

[@Bascimarco1996]

Do one on CMS wheels. I think it would be interesting
