    Thoughts on Borbet E's

    I like the look of Borbet A's, Brocks, Azevs, etc. with a nice lip. Thought these came pretty close and the price is right.

    Josh had an obsession with these. Kinda boring to me, but if you like simple, it's simple.

      Jarvis has some 4-lug 16x7.5s that might be for sale. They looked great on his 87' is.

      PM me if you're interested and I'll let him know.

            Same wheels I'm planning on having. Not quite an obsession, but I love the looks of them, and the price is very nice.

            Brew, do you happen to have any of those pics?

              In my opinion:

              Boring, soft, weak looking. Then again, a lot of people don't like my rims, but thats just what I think of those Borbets.

                    I thought you turned a new leaf and thought they looked good after seeing Jon's cab, TJ? The lip those things have is gorgeous.

                        I think they're okay.. I like the type S better though. whatever you do, don't get the 15x7.. they look stupid without the deep dish.
