So a set of these would be the right place to start

Well I thought that the Hartge and Alpina 16" rims that im after are very rare and go for silly money so was thinking or Borbet A's as I have always liked them.
Not sure im going down that route im only going for a 60/40 drop just wondered what else went into the look

good luck finding those bbs wheels if they are the ones you want. i was in search for some for months. the only set i found in 16 went for 1400 without tyres.

Euro style is good but cannot beat the BRIT LOOK.
BRIT LOOK = BIG RIMS+MAJOR SLAM+SMOOTH BODY
WHAT YOU THINK?

you have to be slammed to run these wheels, I had to go lower after installing 16x9'x because it looked bad.

the wheels on the black car at the top are serious wheels, Oz Futura which cost some mighty bling. Best wheels ever.egk2 wrote:euro look=

and the car below it with the bbs rs is running i believe 11" rears. i doubt its used and is just for shows. 9" can be a bugger as a daily driver let alone 11".
