Borber Winter Wheels for 300 sport?

dxk · 10-27-2005, 12:30 PM

Tire rack has apparently only 2 types of wheels available for 330 sport, ASA and Borber; anyone got Borbers? How do they look in person?
By the way, Tire Rack shows 2 types of Borber Type E for different prices, $139 and $169, I cannot tell the difference, can anyone?

With the Borbet (silent T

, the difference in those two Type Es seems to be in the offset (one is 35 and one is 40, 35 is probably the better suited one for the rear, and for the front you can choose which one you want).

There may be a difference in construction between the two, but its hard to tell from the website, but for the most part it seems to be a difference in spec of the wheel. Best bet is to call and ask.

Ps the 35 offset one is the 139$ one

Thanks Mark, now that I have a correct spelling I went to their website and they appear to be a large German manufacturer.
Apart from those Asian M5 replica wheels of dubious quality and ASA, there is not that much out there that's been tested for winter.
