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 Undecided

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.

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...

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.

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.
