Ok first off, i did not BUY these wheels... They were part of the deal i got when i bought my hatch. I think they are kind of ugly, but they only weigh 15 lbs. By no means are they my favorites, but they are better than the stock 13" steel Dookies im rollin on now.

Borbet Type S - 15x7 (i think)


So i had a little time on my hand and i decided to paint them. I cleaned them up really good, scuffed with a scotch-brite pad to rough up the surface, primered, and painted. My opinion is that they came out pretty good. Yes, I painted the center cap, because i thought it was ugly.

After


Not the best paint job by any means, but for now they will do...

What do you all think?

better than pizza cutters!

 

not too shabby. let s see pics of it on your car.

 

i havent gotten them on the car yet... i will be doing that as soon as i get 2 tires for the other wheels.

heres my car, though... in case someone wants to photoshop them on??

how much did it cost?

 

i paid 2400 for the car, and he through the wheels in. i guess they were just takin up space or something.

 

nice buy.... You need to lower it...

 

polish the lip

Oh you bet... I used to have a 98 Coupe, and i kinda cheaped my way through on the mods. Im gonna try to do things right with this one, save a little longer and get the better stuff. Im thinkin about goin with Teins, or Tanabe Sustecs... but first, the paint.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Oh and i thought about polishing the lip, but i got tired of taping.

i dunno if those were worth painting

 

they look way better than they did before

 

yea, i said they are ugly...

but they are GERMAN!!

 

I probably wouldnt powdercoat them. Like you said, do it right, and save a little longer. Rock em til you can afford something you desire

 

i would use those rims to make a table. put rims on ground with a glass top over it.

 

2400 seems like a good deal, lets see pics with the wheels

Actually, my first thought when i saw the wheels, was to make stools out of them to use in the garage.


Your right, im not gonna powdercoat them, just use them til i get my motor/susp. where i want it, then ill get something nice.

Thanks guys!

not to bad.

 

they look like they belond on a audi or VW

 

yea.. they are German, so they were probably intended for a German car, kinda like some wheels are intended for Japanese cars. Not saying they have to be put on those cars, just intended for them.....
