Will be putting these on my 325iX for the summer. What do you think, I am hoping that these might be a keeper? Offset at 30 and 7,5" wide should be okay (at least a bit better than Hartge's ET25 with 7,5"), of course meaning less of a lip than ordinarily with Borbet's, though. But that's iX. Still wondering why the hell did I sell the Hartge's. ALPINAs, ok, but not quite the same. And neither the AC Schnitzer's (that I also tried).
I have no idea when they ended Borbet Type B's, but I managed to find one set *new*.

Just a couple of photos, currently with original iX 14,3" wheels and ORIGINAL Michelin TDX.. Waiting for some new wheels currently as the Borbet's did not fit and needed to be sold (brake caliper hitting the spokes in the front). One pic of and e34 handbrake lever and OEM e30 leather handbrake boot. Really does it for me as the original plastic thing is plain ugly and uncomfortable for a grip.
For a while I was with one e30 but another is on the way. Next week I'll get a "80 thousand miles from the new" brillantrot 318iS. Pretty excited! (two pics below, hope the previous owner don't mind reusing his pics...)

Got the 318iS. And proper wheels for 325iX as well. Someone might regard me as crazy for getting rid of the e36 ALPINA B3 for e30 318iS. But the iS IS SO MUCH FUN. Still waiting for a set of Style 5's, though. Compomotives don't do it for me even if they don't suck that much either any more :)

Thank you everyone :)
Does anybody have an idea where to get this fabric with diagonal stripes? I have tried most of the upholstery shops on the web. The best I have obtained is the 4 cylinder version where the diagonal stripes go to the other direction (and sold that today after thinking about mounting it for two years - decided that no even if it is close). And please don't comment that turn the cloth - the "threading" is supposed to go top-down instead of left-right so it cannot be turned 90 deg. 6 cylinder one differs from the 4 cyl. I also would welcome separate cushion parts of the sport seat with the original fabric..
I will offer a small PayPal prize for whoever pointing me to right direction (=cloth in perfect condition for sale).
BTW, I found another set of AC Schnitzers and decided to replace Borbet C. Center caps not installed on the Schnitzers in the pic below, but got them as well. I think that the Borbets will end up for sale. They are offset +30 so they do fit iX quite nicely.
I also decided to buy new Hella headlights :) (not installed in the picture yet). Does anyone have an idea on whether it is possible to lower only the front of an iX like 0,5" without replacing the springs or cutting them? Or would you cut half a coil off the springs?
