Does anyone know anything about borbet wheels, are they any good?

Also has anyone had any experience of buying from Rimstyle.com?

I know Borbets are very popular over on the VW Scene... especially the Borbet A's with the huge lips.

I believe they are of a high quality finish and they have been around a long time...

Never used Rimstyle, but they are probably where i would go if buying alloys as they also do Schmidt Wheels

Borbet are fairly good from what I have heard. When I was last looking Rimstyle was overpriced. Getting rid of the current wheels?

No, just getting some summer wheels probably 17s.

Found the wheels a bit cheaper on POTN

Are they available on Dubmeister? They were ok with prices last year

I like the rimstyle website, layout is awesome. Also the ease of use.

They do great deals on Keskins if those suit you Paul? The Keskin KT4 New Racers would suit your clubby down to a T :)

Borbet is what the German Mini challenge run on their cars, they look pretty smart!

these are the wheels I'm looking at, don't want to go any larger than 17s, might stay with 16s

Turns out these are really heavy, nearly 10kg for the 17s that's 2kgs more than the 18" pro race 2s I had.

I think I'll keep looking :(
