Im slightly swayed by the Borbet A reps. Both look good although I'd have to change the 'Dare' centre caps.

Both will look good m8 aslong as you get it sitting right.

Would you not be able to get some genuine borbets for the money reps will cost?? No dodgy bolt problem either!

The centres would b changed & prices of the reps is about half the price of genuine borbets :( would love a genuine set if I had the funds

If you are going down the rep route, I think you need some staggered fitment 8's on the front and 9's on the back 16's all round :)

I was looking at them a little while ago, 9's on the back with a nice bit of stretch, is definitely the way to go :)

my bros got the rs reps on his mini and my mate has em on his polo theyre decent wheels. i know someone who had they borbet style on his e30 and theyre good too. theyll give a good look and there not too expensive. personally i would go for the rs style but borbet style might suit it......  Good Luck with which ever u get...

BTW sold my mates borbets for £350 2 weeks ago:l
