          I saw a red cabby with these or something very similiar. I would love to have some in 16x9. I don't think I can get 4 of these and tires and whatever else is required to put these one.

          Does anyone have a pic of a car with these on or something similiar?

              Sorry for posting so many times but this is EXACTLY what I want. Who sells these? I know Borbet does but can they be had in US?

                    16" borbet a desing is not fully suitable for e30 in front, the rim mounting area is too big so The rim is going to hit the caliper carrier.

                    Little grinding or spacers will make it work, thou many people find grinding the brake parts unsecure.

                    Few pictures of type a's on red vert:





                    The one with chrome bumpers has 7,5*16" on front.

                        The wheels are et15 but I thought spacers were only to bring the wheels from a higher number down to a lower. like et42 to et20.

                        How would I get et 15 to et20?

                        Thanks for the pics.

                          Thanks for the offer but if I am going to get new wheels they are either going to be 16 and wide or 17 and fitting. I really am 99% on the kopis from rcwells thoughe but I would love the type a's

                            16x9et 15 will need a 5mm spacer in the front to bring the wheels out, away from the strut housing, no interference with the brakes, rears with et15 are direct fit.

                              There is no way to get these wheels for only $850 though. I can't find them under $1000.
