I think go for it if your car's low enough.

I had a set on my car but it looked silly as the car was too high on standard suspension.

It now has a 60/40 drop zayyan so i do think they would look well.

[Zayyan]

In that case.....do it

[Nelly]

Loving those wheels, a 60-40 drop would suit them perfectly so, don't wait around fella - treat yourself.

Avev A's also look cool, any of these two style wheels will set your motor off nicley and will also keep it in desired tastes.

[sheldo]

As in my sig.pic 7 1/2 x 17" alpina reps but ill be fitting the 16" borbets as i think there will be a better compromise on looks/handling/ride and cheaper boots too.Ill be able to fit 215/40/zr16 goodyear eagle f1's on the borbet for the same price as it would cost for 215/40/17 budget tyres on my current wheels.

are you sure? around my way 16inch tyres cost more the 17inch ones regardless of the brand?

Yea,i like the azev a's too with a 9" rear but of the two i think id prefer the borbet a's.Either are very nice though.

I thought they were 17" but as you dont have the ceter caps wasnt sure what make they were, they looked a bit like OZ Superturismo's

but ill be fitting the 16" borbets as i think there will be a better compromise on looks/handling/ride

Thats why I want 16" as well

[technoviolet]

I think 9"s on the front as opposed to 7 1/2" are a bit much?Have a look at these two pic links.Too much dish for the front?
Also do you think the raised centre cap or the flat one is better?

i've made the switch from 17" 'pinas to 16" pinas (with 215/40/16 toyo proxes) and the difference in handling is amazing! go for it!

i'd be tempted to run the narrower fronts though, it just looks more mean!

Personal choice but if your going fat might as well go fat all round

[nav786]

mate borbet A's are lovely, i would go 9" all round. i have 9" rear and 7.5" fronts at the moment but wanna stick 9" on front too now. seriously think about it before you buy as i regret gettin 7.5" fronts. nothing wrong with them just prefer 9" on the front. And go for the flat centre cap, looks more smooth.

[ianeire]

Also have 7.5 up front and half regret not getting the 9's..... although if your car is down 60 on the front theres a good chance the 9's wont fit under without some help! I was tempted to sell the 7.5's and get 9's... but I'm going to make the front low instead.

Personally I dont like the smooth centre cap, the wheels have a lot of face on them as it is and I think the raised centre breaks it up nicely.

Gorgeous wheel, attention grabber!

My local kebab shop proprietor has borbets on his "Donermeister" 316 !

[mason]

That wouldn't be the famous....... Kebab Galaxy in new denham would it lol

[chu346]

I want some now!

BTW I currently have the Azev A's not the Antera's in the sig.

[m3ben05]

Go for it, they look awesome

I've got a set of 4 (7.5s) and want Azev As - could sort out some kind of exchange (most likely with cash going your way)?

Gimme a PM with what you want for the Azevs....

I love the Borbet A's, but i dont think they are classy enough for a M3 though. I think only nice split rim type alloys like Jon's complement the M3 so personally i wouldn't get them, but upto you and what you like at the end of the day.
