Time to start looking for some wheels

OK guys (and girls), I've been looking for some wheels today. I want euro-look but don't want to spend an arm and a leg on em. I really like the Ronal R10's but when browsing I came across (not literally) some Borbet Design T's and Design E's

www.dubmeister.co.uk have em.

They have a nice amount of dish, are fairly wide and I love em! At 75 quid each they aint too bad on the bank either. i would like them to have a more polished finish, but that would probably cost a fair bit more!

So - Borbet's or Ronals, or any other ideas?

Ronals are played out like Monopoly.

Riiiiiiiiight. so what does that mean?

Ronals - been there done that?

Nah it's just me playing. Ronals are cool. I'm keeping mine, even when I thought of selling them... to get some 15" P slots. I saw the R10's popping up everywhere and got a bit bored with them. Now I think they're still the right wheels for my car.

Borbets are cool too. Good wheels to get some dish!

After looking for about 20 times, I agree. Especially when the car is lowered...

and so I have just spent 10 mins doin another photoshop with it _slammed_

(ignore the bendy drainpipe and f****d backround, I had to improvise!)

ronals do look good on a polo but man everyone is getting them

since i have had them on my car (a few mths) i have had loads of ppl emailing me asking where i got them from etc

they going to be more common than hookers in a red light zone

Them polo GTI alloys on ebay are going for 100 and there are no bids.
THink it would have been good if he showed the wheel thtas cracked, but u never know they might be buckled

try www.borbet.co.uk for them wheels your after as the 6x14 design t wheels are Â£64.50 and that includes vat and p&p, im after the design A for my golf, just incase any1 wondered

yeah - I rung them up and she quoted me more! not impressed. I'm after the 7 x 15's (I did consider the 8 x 14's

) but she quoted 77 quid each plus a 30 quid charge to get them in!

huh?!

anyhow, I was mighty tempted with them ebay wheels, but the seller has sent me 4 high res pics and the wheels are in a sorry state - can't help thinking they might be buckled too.

I've found some more on ebay that need refurbing - might go for them instead.

I've got 15" 7.5" wide OZ Racing F1 cups with 40 profile tyres on my mk4 with a 60mm drop the finish is in a titanium colour and are that little bit diffferent and they still have a bit of a dish on the rim.
