Which wheels will look best on my car? Borbet B 9J x 16 all round or Kerscher Carmona staggered set-up 7.5J upfront and 9J rears.

All opinions welcome

Cheers
Imy

staggered set-up works better ,as the front dont stick out more then they should ,better handling and you can drop it more ,if you look at cliffy 9x16 borbets the front dont look right (sorry cliffy :o: )

9s all round just looks like you're not interested in how it drives...

I'm not particularly keen on those Kerschers, but I've not seen any in the metal so I can't really say for sure! Like Dips said though, the Borbets don't show much imagination.

Borbet's for me all day long. Will you go with a polished lip Imy or are you going to leave them/paint them? Not keen on the grey colour above to be honest.

I quite like that grey colour, sort of understated. I hate the deepdish style wheels that are all mostly metal, like a drain cover with holes in, the sort you tend to see on golfs as well?
