Gus 5 Report post Posted January 23, 2008 prettu sure ^^ is right...fugly and heavy, but hey, each to their own man Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mavrick 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2008 Yeah they're borbet type A's. Not avaliable in NZ as far as I know, can go to the borbet UK website and see if they are willing to import here. I think they look tough, esp when they come in 16x9 rears and 16x7.5 fronts....huge stagger though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also think they look tough. 120pounds per pair x 4 = 480 pounds = $1223nz. +shipping... a fair bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't that be 240pounds in total then? $1223 isn't bad when your shipping wheels over...shipping would prob be $400 or so. Yeah i guess it'd be a love hate thing, i just think they look real 80's, hence perfect for an e30. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tire 10 Report post Posted January 24, 2008 If I were to go BBS I would get RS's or LM's. Are they available in NZ or do they also require importation? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antony 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2008 I really like them. Have also thought about importing some. One day Not avaliable in NZ as far as I know Come with a free car here. But I think there only 16x7, so no super dish. Otherwise I would've hit up the dealer to see if he'd sell just the wheels. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antony 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2008 I have a weird urge for a sacked white volvo. on chromes. lol. It's the fact that it's just so ugly that it's kinda cool. And I have been keeping my eye on them for a while now, but thought I'd share. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted January 24, 2008 I really like the borbets too. Classic 80's wheel for a classic 80's car if you ask me. They look superb on the tech1 of those photos. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
