Nicest deep-dished rims?

[BE30s]

Deep dish?

Lets define deepdish!!!

[FrustratedMunky]

Hahahaha, that's just friggin' awesome.

[qimis]

yep.

does anyone knows what suspension on this car ?

[bert]

yeah. that's the ground-control add on coilover kit.

it is a great option at $399 and includes coilover springs,
ride height adjusters for front and rear, and new weld on
front spring perches...

the kit converts your stock strut units into coilovers.

Why do forged rims always have an area in the middle around the wheel where it is raised? Does it have something to do with holding more air for a softer ride or something?

I only ask because mine have this and since my wheels are actually a FWD offset, I have this raised part in the middle that I hate. Water gets trapped between that hump and where the spokes were welded in. Sometimes I'll leave my house with a little water caught in there, and I'll drive like 2 miles and the water just stays in there from the centrifugal force. :curse:

i believe it has to do with adding strength. Take a flat piece of aluminum and add a ridge bend and it doesn't flex nearly as much as it did flat.

so your friends and the tire store can take the tires off of the wheels.... it is called the drop center, when you pry 1 side of the bead of the tire off the wheel the oposite side sinks down into that area and allows the tire to be removed from the rim.....

some wheels have it on both sides and some have it on just the back (reverse mount).....
it would also add strenght to the wheel tho

You're talking about the little lip around the wheel right? Mine are reverse mount like that too.. I'm talking about a big 4" hump in the dish part of the wheel.

those borbets are 8x17 and 9.5x17--not 16...and you'd
have to do a 5 lug conversion...

bert

Not true Bert you can get type T's for that price in proper offset in 16" and in 4x100 bolt pattern.

then why isn't anybody opting for those?!

the 9" deep dish type T's are SO much better looking than the 7.5"...

Couldn't tell you why but my local dealer has them for 160 euro in 16x9 plus 16% tax. 7.5x16 are 144 euro a piece.

[ColdAccord]

these are my deep dish borbets;

[e30evolution]

you wanna sell those?

[ColdAccord]

you wanna sell those?

the only reason I would sell them is if I need money. and the motor isn't finished yet, so it may be possibly I will be in need of money. I'll pm you in the rare event that I decide to sell

[M-technik-3]

Borbet B's don't see those that often anymore. 8)

[ColdAccord]

greg- I may need to get in touch with you about centercaps. the ones in the first pic are what came with the rims. the ones in the 2nd pic are the ones I want. the previous owner of the wheels bought 2 of those (bottom pic) center caps from someone in germany. I guess someone had to contact borbet in germany. the 2 are being shipped to me as we speak. I'll explain in detail when I get the 2 caps in

Yeah, the type Ts look freakin hot in 9" width, I am thinking about getting a pair and doing a stagard setup.

Where?? Tell me who has them. The Borbet type T's in 16" would definately change my mind from getting the 16" BBS RKs.
