VR6 0 Posted September 8, 2004 Good job that man! 8) He could've cleaned the tyres a bit! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted September 8, 2004 hey i dont care about dirty tyres, probably put people off bidding! do you recon its worth trying to sell my standard sebrings? do they fetch much in a scruffy state? 3 good tyres! :S Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted September 8, 2004 that'd be your question about the number cast into the rim then would it?!? ;) :lol: Nice one... another member of the Borbet C owner's club... I've got a spare one of them for sale if you're after a 5th, almost brand new too... ;) :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 8, 2004 Blinder! I wasn't too sure on these wheels till I actually saw them on Hennys car 'in real life' - I was immediately converted into a Borbet C fan :D :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted September 8, 2004 yup henny ;) cheers for the help! it was your avatar picture that swung it for me! yum! these are et30's so I'll need some spacers like you suggested....what width do you recon? 6mm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rado16v 0 Posted September 8, 2004 Bargain. Seen the Borbets doing the rounds for a while now, definitely a classic rim. Great choice. Did they ever come in 5x100? don't recollect ever seeing them in 5 stud. Just found a set on german ebay, guess they exist. http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=40261&item=7919899590&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW Amit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted September 8, 2004 Yeah - Del_VR6 has them on his Corrado VR6 Amit - they look pukka though the big stud holes seem even more pronounced when there is an extra one per wheel for some reason... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted September 8, 2004 you wernt bidding too were you randal? ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randal 0 Posted September 8, 2004 Mate, if i'da known I would have! Damn things slipped me by. VERY good pluck all the same mate, green is not the word :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted September 8, 2004 yup henny ;) cheers for the help! it was your avatar picture that swung it for me! yum! 8) these are et30's so I'll need some spacers like you suggested....what width do you recon? 6mm? Try it without any and see what you think... I wouldn't go above 5mm to be honest, and you'll probably be able to get away with the cheap spacers if it's only for 5mm... 8) Make sure you contact Scotford though to get hold of the correct spiggot rings for these wheels to be fitted to a Corrado... they're only plastic and shouldn't cost much at all... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted September 8, 2004 spiggot rings? :? ta for the tipoff, i was just going to slap them on and hope for the best! whos this Scotford then? (or what if its not a who!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted September 8, 2004 Scotford are the official UK Borbet importers... 8) Phone 'em though, 'cos they're a bit pants with their email answering... ;) :lol: 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted September 8, 2004 oh hang on, they're not et30, they're 35! any revised spacer ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted September 8, 2004 exactly... mine ARE ET30, you may need a 5mm spacer... as I said, I've got a spare one of these wheels if you need one... ;) (last one out of Scotford's warehouse!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted September 8, 2004 cheers, i think I'm going to stick with the spare sebring for now as an 'emergency' wheel or try and find a 16" spacesaver from a scrappys., £140 was pushing the boat out a bit at the moment where my cash is concerned, but it was just too much of a good deal to resist!
