Any place to buy borbet type c's? TSW hocks? (both heavy)

[george graves]

Anyone still sell these rims?

Thanks!

C's (as well as T's) from Borbet are NLA AFAIK.
The Hock's are probably the same story.

Pretty sure you can't have them new, but used they are still around.
There were some Hock R's on ebay the other day, and people do sell their Borbets occasionally.

they make a new version of the hock but I've never seen them for sale for the E30.

Don't buy used TSW wheels; they seem to bend really easily. I bought a used set of TSW wheels and they are so bent.

I've got hocks on my 88 325is, They are VERY HEAVY. And yes the bend easy, my one rim is Flat spotted and the lips get chewed up pretty easily

I had the hocks on my corrado, they weighed a TON in a 17x8 4x100...
they do bend easily too...
there are other wheels out there that are a better way to go.

Hocks get a terrible rep. I was at Safeway a few weeks ago and met a guy in the parking lot with a kinda ratty 84-85 325e. He had some chrome 15" Eagle wheels and said that he liked the way my Hocks looked, but would never buy them because he heard they were really cheap wheels. Go figure.

TSW generally makes middle-of-the-road quality wheels. Compared to Borbet, BBS, and Ronal they're kinda lousy, but much better than the wheels you get at most local shops (like ADR or Primax). They're on the heavy side, but again, aren't that bad. Maybe some of you guys need to hit the gym ;).

I liked my hocks...they looked good, yeah they were heavy, but I never had any problem with the strength. In fact, I spun my car off the road in the rain (bald 235's, standing water), and hit some good sized rocks probably going about 30 mph backwards, my rear wheel got scratched and curbed (rocked?) to hell but its still completely straight, no bends
