Have to get new wheels, Suggestions?

[Ball325]

Alright, long story short, truck carrying rocks dumped a bunch on teh road infront of me ruined a wheel now they are buying me new ones and tires. But they dont make my Borbets any more. I have Borbet Model Ts but very old. I found them on thier site but cant fnd them for sale anywhere. Also the one on thier site doesnt list any fitments.

so anyone have any suggestions? i loved how these wheels looked on the car. Id prefer new wheels but if i could find some really nice used wheels i might be for that.

also fitmet suggestions? Im not a fan of 17's really but i might be able to adjust. I have 16x7.5" on there now. Im not sure of teh offset i would have to look. I want to say ET30 but im not positive. I dont use spacers or anything and they fit great. But I like a nice size lip wondering what you think the widest i could go would be.

also there is no budget, the company responsible is buying them. They will buy whatever so i dont sue.

im kicking around the 5 lug idea, and it seems all the cool wheels are 17"



Thanks

Have you tried looking on ebay? I'm sure you could probably find another one of your rims.

Just ask for a cheque for the brand new MSRP for your equipment + 50%. My buddy did this, a cement truck backed into his civic, demolished his front end. They cut him a cheque for 6 grand the next day (estimate with respray was 5 grand + lost wages + rental). He just had the body shop straighten the car (nothing structural), put a CF hood, aftermarket lights, grill, oem bumper wasn't touched, lip, etc. He spent the rest on coilovers, wheels, tires and a new amp :D.

wow, this post is so ironic becuase i have those same borbets as you!, but i picked them up from pick-n-pull but one had a MAJOR dent on the inside and i wanted to replace it with a new one but i found out that they discontinued them. so i brought them to WHEEL TECHNIQUES and they repaired them for $500 (it was supposed to be $700 but they made a mistake).. now they are the same silver but with a polished lip. i am happy and i win.

check out www.tunershop.com

under 16 inch wheels they have the type t's in 16x7.5 - for $215 each.
also, you might find some other wheels you may like on there, as they have a pretty good selection.

yeah someone pointed me to tunershop im photoshoping pretty much every wheel on my car from thier site.

Also it doesnt say if they are 4 lug or what. Ill know my offset tomorrow.

pretty much im getting 4 new wheels and tires, as well as an alignment. Its kinda cool because i wanted to replace those wheels anyway because one has a small bend in it that was no problem tire bead was fine so i just delt with it and it always vibrated and another had some rash but now that im looking for them, i cant decide what i want.

im having a real hard time deciding. I want the lip of a 16x9" wheel but i feel like it going to cause problems. but seeing how many people have them i almost feel like seeing if i can order some 16x9"s and try them on and if not send them back for 7.5" but i doubt they would let me unless they sent me a wheel with a tire on it. something that they mount so thers no chance for damage. unless someone local to me has 16x9's with spacers i can come by one day throw them on and see how they fit. But i dont know anyone near me. I know EGK has some but hes in NJ and hes selling his car so i doubt it.

I was checking out Kodiak http://www.kodiakracingwheels.com/wheel-prices.php they seem pretty nice except not sure on thier designs.
