Want some flat caps for them but still deciding what colour to do the centres on a bianca ph3 estate. Something's telling me a really deep blood red colour and a LOT of clear coat.
Thoughts?

These are the ones that are on eBay. I was tempted. Are they real sPlut rims or just fake. It was hard to tell from the eBay add. As it said split rim style.

£380 delivered :laugh:
Not much at all. And yes they're Borbet A Split replicas but who gives a f*ck if they aren't genuine when they're on a 306?

are they staggered or all the same? Keep seeing these on ebay and if I had the money Id probably get them as Ive been looking for a decent set of Borbets... or similar recently!

They look excellent in the flesh. Only downsides are the fake bolts and the lips aren't quite mirrored, they're just shiny. ET35 though and 9J so will take some MASSIVE spacers, thank god i've got 100mm studs and 60 deg nuts for the rear, and 80mm studs for the ET25 8J fronts.
Gonna need some MAJOR archwork!
Mr Rowell, staggered 8J front/9J rear. There are sets 8J all round but i'm hardcore :twisted:

It has to be red, The blue doesnt look right. Would look good if they were real split rims and you could have got them anodized red

Too much stretch is gay! On the 9's im not sure if they will go on. My mate had 215's on a 9j and that was really stretched like the wall started curving in.

Yup. Might have to go ET-5 as ET+5 is still too tight to the inner arch

Corr thats a lot. Dont you by law need the wheel arch to cover the tread of the tyre when looking down on it? Serious stretch needed
