Hartge Vs Borbet ( e30 Content)

[Stephen]

So ive got my 2 sets of wheels and i cant deicde which to run.

1: Hartge Type As

15x7.5. Ill probably run them at a final offset of 10ish with 195 tires.

2. Borbet type As:

17x7.5. Probably run with flat caps and for now an offset of 25, less later. agian, a 195 for a hair of stretch


Hartge:

Mine are half inch wider, and im going to go more aggresive with fitment.


Borbet:

Dont have any pics of a 17x7.5 on an e30 :( But you can imagine it, i believe in you.





OR option C: sell and redrill some RSs

[TheNeek]

What color is that E30?

[Steinke]

I have always liked Borbet

[Stephen]

What color is that E30?


Burgundort. One of my favorites. I may be painting a 4dr that color soon :D
I have always liked Borbet

Me too, i really like type As. Im just not sure if 17s would be too much for an e30. And the hartges were an impulse buy

[Burn535i]

Borbet

[TheNeek]

The 17s will look too big. Personal opinion.

[Stephen]

Well thats what im thinkin.

[hootie]

What happened to buying the HREs?

[Stephen]

I still want them, but Noones buying the type As :/


Once i get the 4th in the mail ill be more proactive about it, and hopefully move them. THEN ill hit you up for them. But it just sucks because im running out of time before school.

Alternatively i may sell the hartges. or both. But my guess is not before school starts

[hootie]

Sell them during school. I am going next week. I will still be up to sell them then too.

[Stephen]

Good to hear. Im just hoping i can redrill the 4th before i leave. Regardless, if they sell im still down to buy them.

[frink84]

borbets ftw

[schroedin]

Borbets. You should have bought my Burgundrot when I was selling it a while back haha.

[bjh102]

16x9 borbet type a's= SEX!!!

[TheNeek]

16x9 borbet type a's= SEX!!!

Agreed... do want.

17s are a wee bit much.

[vdubkid]

BORBETS!! My favorite wheel on an e30. I love everything about that car too

[BFalconer]

17's are pretty big, i had them on my e30 when i first got it, stock ride height too.

i love the borbet more than anything and **** the hartgay's alot,
such a tough call.

[gumballer_80]

Hartge are too small imo...
& RSs have been done to death on BMs

so I guess that leaves the Borbet As :D [; hopefully they have flat caps instead of the hexagon ones :shifty]

[SeanDub]

Something wider than 7.5

[Reichy]

Borbet will look pretty mad. But 17's maybe a bit to big.
will still looks sic tho

[schroedin]

Lots of stretch on the Borbets. Do et.

[awestun]

17's aren't too big. Look at Stale30's car.

[MikeG]

i know im in the minority but i really dislike borbet type a's so i would go with the hartges for two reasons

1...they look hot
and
B....they arent borbets
:stickoutt

[1985zcar]

That E30 in the OP is for sale here in WA right now, thing's pretty sick.

[B Rod]

Borbet for sure.

[EThirtySicks]

That E30 in the OP is for sale here in WA right now, thing's pretty sick.

Car in your sig (yours?) is hawt hawt hawt!



I don't think 17s are too big on an E30, especially Borbet Type As

[kev.skyline]

would love a set of hartge splitties, or 16" hartge one pieces.
deffinatley think 17 borbets will be a bit too much.

[Stephen]

Yeah. well im about as split as you guys. The hartges are gone and im not sure ill run the borbets. probably going to keep the borbets or sell and buy some RS or something 3pc to redrill.

[bjh102]

im telling you find a set of 16x9 borbets and you will never look back.

[Zack01GC]

Borbet's would be hot.

[Stephen]

Maybe. Dunno i go back to school in a week and now ive got my sights set on some RS to redrill. Dark dark bronze centers and a polish lip.

[Stephen]

Heres a quick crappy cell pic of the borbet mocked up.
