Well I know they are a love/hate choice but I love em and have always wanted a set of Borbet A's so I finally bought some last week. They arrived today and I'm very happy with the conditon and the overall result.
Not long now till they will be coming off again for the winter mind , but I had to give em at least a few weeks use to see how they fit.

TBH I don't usually like A's, think they look a bit council and usually on scrap but this actually looks quite nice- must be the nice looking car they're worn by :D

(I'm not even a fan of red cars either!!)

It was this thread here , bout halfway through once Tom had reverted back to standard wheels for winter....

http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... sc&start=0


Horses for courses , I like both standard and borbets.... but I have to agree with the fact that BBS-RS are 10 times as nice as any borbet (obviously) lol.
