Need some help fellas. I'm gonna be ordering a set of rims in the next few wks, looking at BBS or Borbet A's or B's, ideally Borbet B. I can't seem to find a retailer though can you help?

Ideally I want 15's poss 16" in both diamitor what sizes can I get, I'm after width and depth without it having an impact as in rubbing and crap like that. I'm thinking 15's 7.5 on the front and 8 or 9's in the rear. Also whats ET refer to in size?

Thanks

16" 9J all round will look very nice. Staggered set-up is also ok 7.5J front's and 9J rear's.

I think 15-20 ET is ok (someone should be able to confirm). If the ET is too high then you will need spacers as the wheels will be too close to the strut.
