Just want some advice.
I ordered a set of 18" Rondells the other day.
Today they were delivered and on the alloy it says engells and on the centre cap it says Rondells.
What does the engells mean and are they a genuine Rondell wheel.
Please help as i am very confused.

No, they're not genuine Rondells.

you were ripped off, they're fakes. where did you buy from? and if it was false advertising do something about it.

There is a reason- I dont think Rondells are made any more, or the company doesn't exsist.. or the moulds were brought by rondell.

Someone who knows the exact reason will post.

Shings

Incidently... as the guy hasn't mentioned a price.. how do you know he's been ripped off?

kl-mortiss

paid £1400

They use the same mould, but they're not made by Rondell. Exactly the same design exept the obvious different name stamped on the rim.

Rondells fetch more second hand, as they're quite hard to get hold of now. Funny that considering 99% of EsCoss's ran them...

Anyway...if they were advertised as Rondells then I'd be pissed off. But they were prob 'Rondells/ Engells' as I see them sold on Ebay like that

Either way, nice wheels

Shings

1400 quid for a set of wheels like that seem good to me.

I think they're advertised as rondell/engell too..

kl-mortiss

i dont know if i should send them back our not idoes this seem like a fair price to you

Stoo

I assume with tires?

What kind?

kl-mortiss

with tyers s-1088 wanli have i been ripped off

Stoo

Never heard of the tires mate, sound like budget ones. I wouldn't say you've been ripped off though. They are a wide and good rim which will be dear and with brand new rubber, that's okay...

Wanli's aren't too bad.

Engel bought the moulds about 5 years ago from Rondel if my memory is right

kl-mortiss

cheers guys top advice as all ways

Wanli's are the bottom of the barrel...

Really, the budgetest (new word ) of all budgets.

Shings

I thought it was somet like that... they aint rip offs they're the real deal just made by a different company.

If you're unsure why not contact the seller for their comment?

If you have a copy of Fast Ford from the mid 90's look at Amber Performance advertisements, Rondell's were £350 each then.
