    New Guy - how are borbet wheels

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Sup everyone. I got my Audi last year but haven't had a chance to do any modding. Anyway, I want to get new wheels. I'd like to get 19s but with the roads here in NJ/NYC are so bad I think I'm better of with the 18s. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the Borbet LS wheels (are they prone to bending) or any recommondations for decent wheels under $200. I've also considering the Flik justice and B5 RS4 reps off ebay.

    Here are the Borbet LS (I'm sure everyone knows what the Flik Justice and B5 RS4 look like.)

    Borbets are nice lots of dub guys go for them, I dont know how those will look on the A4... 19" justice are sick but B5 RS4 wheels are always classy, just not B7 RS4 wheels

    borbets are decent. they are a little heavy and seem to be a tad soft. But overall decent quality. OZ is a step up in quality and a little lighter.

    Borbets are a very good wheel for the money. I used to have type A's back in tha day and they never gave me any probs. Good finish and no bending issues.

    Re: New Guy - how are borbet wheels

    yea i like the OZ Superturismo. Its a little more than I wanted to spend tho. Anyone have the B5 RS4 reps off ebay? They're only $449 for for a set of 4. I checked out the reps at Hartmann but they're twice as much.
