    Borbet A's

    Guys what do you think of these for the MKI?





    this is the rim on my car atm.



    got a guy wanting a straight swap.

    The borbet his has are 16" by 7.5 so they would be hell wide and offset i assume to be around 20+

    let me know what you think.

    I like them, and quite a bit more than the ones on your beastie.

    Borbet's rock with the slammed look. While they are good for cruising they aren't the end all in dynamics. I have some 15x7 Buddy clubs for your mk1 et40?

    Having seen what you have on there right now (I was at CVWC last night) I would keep what you have.
