    what are these wheels, help please.

    they look like borbets....? but from the translation online, he says there some sort of BMW custom..? Maybe one of the USA/Germany guys can help me decipher. Are these 17's also? http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...903954601&rd=1

        those wheels are readily avail here in the US. They are poular among the VW crowd too...the ones you are looking at are the ATS Tyoe 10 wheels. My buddy has them on his MK II GTi

        Check VW forums etc.

                I bed to differ...the ATS wheels have much shaper edges to them, where the borbets are rounder, softer.

                If you like those wheels look at borbets too. Although they(borbets) are heavy, and sometimes look nasty on e30 - other times look great.

                      I bought a set, and sent them back. they look cheap IMO, and they are very heavy.

                        Borbet Type C >> ATS Type 10

                        And don't say Borbets are heavy. 16" Borbets maybe be slightly overweight, but my 15" Type C's weigh in at 16.5lbs each......or not bad at all.

                          That's true - what is really heavy after all? Lots of wheels are not feather light.

                          Those borbets are looking good on your e30 - lets see some more pics!

                            p.s. I hate oversized tires. :roll:

                            These wheels were actually surprising light to me. I picked them out of the box and thought they were quite light.

                            Besides Kosei's, SSR Comps, etc., wheels will not be WOW light, but it is still good to have respectibly unheavy wheels.

                              emailed him, and its 80 euro shipped to america. Is that bad? also he says theres a big dent, and other "smaller" scratches. what does wheel repair usually run in costs?
