So lately I've been a little tired of the whole JDM thing and am thinking about going Euro style with my xB... I had a 86 GTI (same weight and power as the xB BTW) for my first car with killer BBS 17's and love that look...SO been looking at staggered 16's from Borbet, Brock and others. Here's some of the choices... feel free to vote on the one you like best.

Borbet Type A's... the old skool joints. Available in 7.5 and 9x16, various offsets. You can get smooth center caps for these that make em look sick.



Borbet BS's. Someone on here has a xB with these 16x9, looks nice. Available in the same sizes as the A's, different offsets tho.



Schmidt Modern Line monoblock... seen a TCM on here with them but mistakenly thought they were Revolution race wheels... these come 1n 16x9 with staggered offsets.



Brock B2... these look crazy in 16x9 and can be had with 30 or 15 offset.



So which ones people?

 

Borbet Type A with said smooth center cap. those looks niiiice

 

I know that those caps are out there but haven't sourced them yet... they look great on Vdub's.

 

I kinda like the Borbet Bs and the Modern Lines. I would probably go with the Modern Lines if I had a choice. the Borbet Bs look like VW wheels, something you would find on a GTI or something.

 

I like the A's...

how much do tehy run?

sen.

 

+1 for the modern lines, a very nice wheel.

 

 

I like em all except the Schmidts...

 

I voted for the borbet b2's. Also check out Keskin wheels. They are popular in the VW world too.

 

You can check the prices at tunershop.com. There's some REALLY nice ones on there that are a bit too steep for me.

Keskins are nice, I like the Block Lights, kinda remind me of Lorinser or VIP wheels.
Check the Schmidt Space Lines too, killer.


here's some pix of the wheels I'm interested in on actual cars-





...C'mon that's some hotness people.

 

How about NKB wheels? Eurotuner style with JDMness I think they might be cheaper, but also harder to get maybe....Memoryfab.com I think sells them....

Lets just say...you can get all those german wheels faster than you can get NKB wheels.....

 

so Donovan, you getting a VW?

 

Haha, no, just some VW style

 

how about ATS cups?

 

Yeah I love those, but they only seem to come in 15's now. And they're way heavy. But yeah those look great on the few xB's I've seen with them.

 

i personally am a fan of the schmidts, but the brock b2's are sexy as hell. thats what i voted for

 

If you decide on one of the Borbet's, it's a line we carry! Please feel free to visit our site at http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=DJ1&...eels/index.jsp. If you find something that will work, feel free to give me a call. Or if ordering on line, feel free to enter my name in the "Previous Contacts" box at the end of the order and I will be glad to keep an eye on it!

 

Does anyone have the Borbet Type A wheels on their xB?

 

a's and bs's are nice
