Why will you bend them? I'd be more concerned about my driving if bending wheels is on your mind!!! If you drive like a hooligan, buy some spare wheels and keep these for show/meets/cruising.

Buy some nice deep dish wheels and give me the Hartges for safe keeping. I park next to grass verges - no kerbing! :)

Diamond black touring on 16" Hartges is so right. :D

Borbet A's are the choice of wheel for someone with no imagination.

Same could be said for the BBS though. Personally I don't like the Borbet range so I'm not sticking up for it. Standard BBS do look a bit plain but people put them on because they are the 'correct wheel' and therefore anything else just doesn't look right (just ask Ratch his opinion on this!!) or because they're copying everyone else- which is also the same with Borbet A's. I do particularly like the split rim varieties though.
But I do like it when you see something completely different but still looks good :D

I agree but half the time borbet a's are purchased by people who are having an attempt at the 'euro' look and don't know what other wheels are available or are not prepared to pay for them.

I'm not saying I don't like them because they can look good , if you don't mind looking like every other e30 with deepdish wheels in the uk.

I agree with you on the "I want dish" brigade and don't want to/can't afford properly special wheels or know what there is out there. Not dis'n the Borbet crowd, just not my cuppa :D

I suppose I'm just as bad with my Azevs :D

I am clued up on the deep dish wheel range, and I still think Borbet A's suit the e30 best. No wonder theyre so popular. Or maybe I just have 'no imagination'!
