        Pretty much any wheel would look sick on that car, that's why you're starting to like alpinas. Just wait till you put on type b's...

        p.s i vote for b's

          Take them both. Two of the coolest wheels ever imo.

            Yeah dude, this is no contest... Borbets are WAY sicker than the boring Alpinas... PLUS you can still buy Kopi Alpinas new.. Lulz. Rare, much nicer wheels > Lame kopi alpinas.

            With a 16x9 setup I would run 205/45/16 front and 225/40/16 rear. A good roll in the rear will prevent rubbing, plus you have an early model so it won't be as much of a big deal anyway. WIN.

                I'm going to agree with Rob, although I love me some B's

                  I love both sets of wheels but I'd vote for the B's. Good looking wheels and a lot less common. You've got to run man sized tires on them though, no 205's on a 9 inch rim please!

                    Needs more euro rear bumper, but the borbets are my vote.

                        +1 on type B's

                        I remember when this was for sale, was going to see it until you bought it the day before I could go

                        Looks like it came a long way, and the type B's will look great.

                            you want to earn your jollies and get smilies on your face? then put REAL tires on the sumbitch!

                            it looks WAY better too with some meat.

                            put it like this. do you want a skinny, bony, and anorexic girl that you will break the second you give her a good thrust? or a curvey, sensual, sorta tough in all the right ways hot piece of ass you can have hours and hours of sweaty play time with, then send her on her way with some man juice dripping down her leg?

                            yeah, you want a girl that you can hold onto as you give her the D!

                            do it right man, alpina's + real tires


                            your welcome.
                            You wanted to put Salad Shooters on your car. WTF are you talking about stretch is shit? Plus that was just disturbing...

                            And yea, Borbets all the way.


                            Go here be happy!

                              The softline look Alpinas don't do it for me... If they were the flat flanged version it might be a different story, but there's just no lip on the set that is on the car and I think that's why I don't like them. Those Borbets on the other hand... very nice! I vote for the Borbets.
