      FYI, the wheels you have pictured are not 7" wide, a 7" wheel will not have nearly as much of a lip.

        Borbet A's are sooo hot. Now if I can find the damn things in 15x7 I'd be set. If I find a place selling I'll let you know and if you do hook a fellow member up with a link :)

          my friend as 15" Borbet A's.
          they look sweet. he doesn't have them on his e30 though cause he needs spacers. guy won't even sell them. he doesn't drive his car much. wants it looking perfect for when it comes out and he's strapped for cash right now. i'll probably buy spacers and put them on my car when i lower it and see how it looks.:D

            I think most of the pictures are probably 9x16.

              Here's a pic of the B2's off of e30.de. These are 15's and they still have a decent amount of lip.

                  Fake lip. If the spokes were straight to the rim edge, there would be no lip.

                  Go wider.

                    i have had both borbet A and Ts on my cars, and I prefer the T, but mine were 9x16.

                      9x16s do look nice, but I was a little worried about clearance issues with a 1.5" drop, plus the fact that tire selection isn't as good in 16" sizes.

                          Don't like any of them.

                              I think the Borbet A rims are hideous. I would rather stay with stock basketweaves.

                              Of the ones you listed, the Borbet T's are the best in my opinion.
                              None of those rims really excite my though.
