I'd love to have these wheels if I can find out what they are, does anyone know?, also what are other peoples opinions on these? I personally love these wheels, they are 15" by the way.

Very cool!!

Not sure what they are though sadly

Damn someone, somewhere must know.

They look like BBS wheels in every way. The black paint on the inside faces of the spokes were applied to the VW BBS fitment and the ford Sierra Cosworth 3 door BBS wheels, but which of those is a 4 stud wheel i don't know for sure. It appears to be quite a dished rim so it might be a non standard fitment BBS wheel but if it's a replica, it's a bloody good one.

You could recreate that effect with the e30 15" BBS wheel by masking and painting the spoke insides, but obviously the dish wouldn't be quite as much.

Very nice look to them in the photo.

Mim's iirc

I've got some 15x7 AAGs that are certainly very similar. Currently trying to decide whether to put them on my Caddy or sell em on...

borbet 'b'?

Clearly not the same, but along similar lines...

remember seein them before on a can.... i think they were either borbet or they could of been ronals.

they are the wheels that mk motorsport used to fit to their tuned e30,s,they claimed they were their own design of wheels but someone must have made them for them,they are stunning imo and were a metric fitting strangely.

ive been looking at the wheels on this post alday and i cant make up my mind if i like them or not

excuse my ignorance but what as a "metric fitting"?

similar to e28 m535,michelin made an unusual size of tyre,i assume they done a deal with bmw to supply them and you had to buy michelin when they were worn out,very clever but they were rubbish in the wet very dangerous,if you look closely at the pictures you can make out the large distinctive tread blocks,the size for the e30 wheels were 195td390,tyres were 220/45vr390.very very rare wheels

yup, definately borbets. i managed to find the link i was lookng for

They are not borbets. If you look at the pics closely you will see on the borbets the spokes dont go all the way to the centre like the ones in th pic at the top of the page. I'm 99.9% sure that the wheels in question are made by Rial who incidently made the wheels fitted to the 3dr cosworths. I had a set of these Rial's on an escort RS turbo i had 6 years ago.

oh yea

Are they not MSWs like the ones in this thread ? (Obviously wider and with black centres....)
