    New wheels look better, your old ones look like AMG knock offs.

      I'd say they look more like an old "big-bodied" Audi wheels. I like both wheels the same. They both compliment your car, but in different ways.

          I think they were on Turner's classifieds. Supposedly they were on an e30, the guy took them off for the winter and then wrecked his car.

                  I had deep dish like that on my '68 Chevy pickup back in 1989. Won't ever have them again unless I build something pro-street. Not my type of look.

                    Exactly

                    Those look really good. What size and offset are those? Anyone know?

                      16x9 all around. Not sure of the offset. If you want them, don't get your hopes up. They are not TUV or DOT approved last I knew, and they are well out of production.

                        Got it! Thanks Jordan... Is Jordan your real name? That's my sons name! GREAT NAME!

                        I really like the "euro" look of the wide wheels and tires.

                            Anyone know a source for Borbets stateside? I need to get 2 new centercaps.

                            unless...... does anyone know where I can get a generic replacement plactic centercap I can put the roundel on?

                              Cough. I got a set of good Borbet flat center caps from Andrew (318driver)

                              I have two of the fake bolt ones like the ones you seem to have. The rear ones disappeared for some reason......

                              I can give these to you for pretty cheap. edit - like $10 shipped. I paid $35 for Andrews (shipping from him to me was a $1), but don't see these being worth much....but a little bit would help.


                              Here are mine from Andrew. You might luck out and find a set......but I was forunate to call dibs on these before Stu or Jamie.


                              A shot of one of the two I'm no longer using......(the other is missing the little silvery nut)
