Picked up some Borbet type TD's on ebay

Picked them up used on ebay…the only way to go. Once I get them they will be refinished black. Debating on leaving the lip silver or just doing the whole wheel black but htey are basically what I have on my car now just 18" instead of 15" Can’t wait to use them autocrossing.

I got them Friday. Dude shipped them with packing tape and bubble wrap…thats it! no boxes etc. so they are a bit more beat up than I expected but I’ll bring them back to life. They are simple and light. Cant wait to have them on even though it;ll prob be sometime after Carlisle. Dude was also a little late shipping them. F douchebag ebayers :rant:

black wheels are retarded

leave the lip silver! I think it will look nice! :blue: Congrats on the purchase!

Black with a polished lip can look pretty nice, imo.

I’ll bet those suckers are pretty heavy

I bet they weigh less than 27 lbs…which is not bad for a 19x10.5 wheel. A good quality forged wheel can weigh very little.

For example, these 19x9, 19x10 RAC Monolites weigh only 22 lbs and 23 lbs…pretty good for such a large wheel.

I’ll weigh them when I get a chance. I knew they would be light but not sure, my super huge muscles scew my judgement of weight.

damn thats a nice size lip on them…I like

You are fugly

type As are better

haha…you found some eh? make sure the center bore is 57.1 or whatever your VW requires :slight_smile:

at least these are euro enough for ya :wink:

Is that Bimmer Laguna Seca Blue? That’s such a hot color…

Anyways, black wheels with polished lip, I’m gonna join the masses on this.

Black rims > you
