cliffdunedin 8 Report post Posted September 10, 2013 Being an English company you'd have to assume "bet" may have been founded by a Frenchie though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Etwenty1 45 Report post Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) Wow - that's a huge difference!! Looks primo. Whats rough cost on refurb like you've done......?? Cheers ae... ive done wheels before for cash, $20 each for blasting and $20 powder coating per rim, but on these i wanted the lips machined to remove kerbing and restore the little edge detail. Agreed $450 the set but ended up paying $600 due to 2 rims requiring straightening. I think that would probably still be a good deal north of the Bombays. Lesson learned, next time ill get them to spin the wheels up before we agree a price. ha ha bastards. still they have done a good job, the paint work is real good barring a couple of specs. silky smooth and real glossy. Almost a shame to put them on the car.....almost. If you get rims blasted separately make sure they are not done too coarse and that they leave the bead alone. Now all i need is some new lock screws.

KwS 2425 Report post Posted June 20, 2014 always said bor-bay myself but i just found out Thule is said "Tool-ey" today, not, well, "thool" lol Hahah, we sell the f**king things and i only found out how to properly pronounce it recently. Not a huge fan of the borbet wheels, but damn that refurb made an amazing difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rarerimresource 6 Report post Posted June 20, 2014 Yep perfect fitment. Would look porn with some 16x9's out back. I love the refinish, nice work! Jon from JKS Euro is in Auckland this weekend looking for a set of Borbet's, hope he sees this! I've always pronounced them Bor-bay, bor-bet sounds kinda stupid, but Moet & Chandon is pronounced Mo-et not moway, so there you go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
