Just picked up some new shoes. (Warning! Borbet Type A content!)

[alexw]

I love BBS RS's and ACS Type I's... But I also like to be unique (and I'm not ready to drop crazy $ on wheels yet). I don't see too many M3's running these wheels.

So I picked up a set of Borbet Type A's off of ebay.de. This was an experience on its own. I had to pick them up in person, and the guy didn't speak ANY English. Thanks to some online translators and the TINY bit of German I DO know, it went smooth.

So here they are. 8.5x17 ET 13 and 10x17 ET 20









I know not all of you will be fans of this, in fact I've already gotten quite a few nasty comments. So bring it!

I've got a decent drop, I'm actually going to be looking at suspension next. I don't know how many miles the current set up has.

And... I'm sorry about the username, but I've been alexw on every forum since the creation of the interwebnets.

My dad had a set of those in the same widths for his e32. He gave them away when he moved because he didn't want to buy tires for them.

It should look sharp.

I think that's what the ebay ad was for, E32 wheels.

I couldn't understand what the guy was talking about, but I think he asked me if I was putting them on the M3. I said yes, and he said I was crazy. Crazy good i think... lol
