just need to polish the lips and tidy them up and away we go. still need to do the other side but you get the idea.

Not keen, look to plain in comparison to the old wheels

yeah not to everyones taste but plain is what im after. ive wanted these wheels for so long.
RE: test fit new wheels. - Eeyore - 04-07-2013
nice!
was tempted to buy those!
RE: test fit new wheels. - Pompey306mark - 04-07-2013
Looks great. I had to flare mine. What spacers you running? All it needs now is smoothed doors before the re spray.

I agree with this if I'm honest need centers painting different colour I think but not sure what would suit it
RE: test fit new wheels. - Pompey306mark - 04-07-2013
Don't paint the centres. Ps if you want spare centres to mess around with I have two sets.

5mm at the front and 20mm on the rear but with any kind of weight in its still catching the arch liner so when i get time im gonna rip them off.
thanks mark but i aint got no money left but as ive said im intereted in the doors but it wont be for a while.
and no. im not spraying the centers a differant colour. going for a simular colour if not a bit darker.

Looks good, but, I preferred the other wheels tbh, borbets are a bit boring now imo.
But if you're happy, then drash on

RE: test fit new wheels. - Pompey306mark - 04-07-2013
Rip them out and then underseal them.
Re: test fit new wheels. - kentiiboii - 04-07-2013
They look good dude. But I think they need to be gold.

RE: test fit new wheels. - Ben - 04-07-2013
Look good, although I think I'd paint the spokes and centre caps (gold maybe) and have the lips polished.

It's not that they look bad or anything, Borbets have always been popular, but they're so overplayed now it just looks like any other 306 on Borbets.
It's different if we're talking Team Dynamics or something as they're functional. But as a "style" wheel Borbets have become very "meh" to me. I can think of about 6 306's that have had them over the last 12 months...
RE: test fit new wheels. - Seid' - 04-07-2013
16x7.5?
165/40 ou 165/45 and should be nice!
And more low off course

yeah i know its been done millions of times but its what i wanted to do from the start. if i kept the old wheels on then i would have never have attempted doing the arches myself but its a case of having to to get them in. now ive got the bug to smash it and mash it to get what you want and stop pussying about.
plus to get these in pug fittment is rare so i had to have em.

was thinking about more stretch but as for more lows then im struggling with what i got. it scrapes with just me in. but we will see.

Suits it really well dude, needs to be a tad lower

Already 60mm on the front and even lower on the back. Front scrapes on everything and I carnt carry any passengers so carnt see how I can get lower with these wheels.
