What kind of Borbet's are these?

[duleymane///iS]

Just picked these up for 150 USD, my question is what style wheel is it?

[Nick's e30]

Borbet Type E I believe.

I thought they might be Ts, though it appears both Es and Ts have visible lug holes, and these have caps.

[duleymane///iS]

the caps are what are confusing me as well, they have the made in germany on them they say borbet on them as well and i am in germany so thats why i got them cheap but i have yet to see borbet E or T with caps :/

[325ix]

this is a type t

Yours look like a type E but, as you stated, with a cap.

[E30_fiend]

I'm 90% sure those aren't Borbets at all. I think they are a different wheel with just Borbet emblem in them. Post a close up shot of the raised writing on that spoke at ~7o'clock on the wheel. That may tell us a few things. Also, take a pic of any words or lettering on the backside of the wheels.

Borbet abt?

[duleymane///iS]

Whats the markings on the wheels say, and they look amazing on my car :P

[duleymane///iS]

I'm gonna assume that they're borbet abt's..

[duleymane///iS]

I'm gonna assume that they're borbet abt's..

haha indeed, i have just never heard of these and they dont seem to be everywhere like type a, e, or t.. my bad though never been much of a wheel guy but for 150 i felt like it was a steal

[duleymane///iS]

Also had another question i put the lug bolts the guy gave me on the wheels they appear to be OEM VW/Audi lug bolts because they have the emblems on them, could they be too short? they are a little bit shorter than the aluminum tuner ones i was using on my shit motegi wheels, and i had a slight wobble when i pinned it down the autobahn, came back home and had to re torque them a bit but not the tuner lugs.. could they be too short and cause the wobble the wheels seemed to be balanced have the little weights on the back

Be sure you have the correct bolt type for the wheels. OEM BMW bolts are conical, and I'm pretty sure most aftermarket wheels use them too... if they were made to go on an E30. Are the wheels hubcentric?

[duleymane///iS]

yeah they are conical, and they are more hubcentric than the motegi's these are off by a hair where as the motegi's were like a good half inch but i didnt have any kind of wobble with them, i havent driven it since so hopefully they just needed re tightening
