Borbet A's 7.5" wide 195/50/16's

Righto! i've been to see the wheels today!, they are a little bit of a squeeze regarding the arch.

Other than that, they look quite good IMO. They seem to change to poise and overall look of the car quite dramatically.

What do you lot think?

I dont know how 7.5 or 8 inch would be, but probably headed into widdening the wheel arches as per the Ur.

Loving your cars m8. A touch of class in the US

Just the last one's mine. The Sedan (90 in the UK I guess) is a German car. That being said, if I could pick a Sedan THIS car is perfect. Perfect.

20vcq 's CQ in red with the same Ronals, and tuned. Gorgeous. Looks solid, clean, fast, purposeful yet somehow refined. Kind of like a lovely young lady in a really sharp suit, tortoise glasses and 4 inch strappy shoes.

Oh, and I agree. Lose the center caps. Find something simple to cover the hub. I like the Schmidts on Vag80's car.

Time to mop the brow I think I think m8y.

I'm strictly an 80 saloon kind of man. Kind of like that young lady again in that sharp suit and heels.......... STOP

No it's just like an 80 5 pot at full tilt.

I upgraded to 7x15 inch et28, with the lower et and wider wheel I've exactly filled the arch and have plenty of internal clearance to the suspension. I mounted 195/55/r15's Yokohamas. I think given the tolerances 205 would be too close. The 55 vs. 50 give me a little extra cushion, which I've been glad for. The Coupe is definately smooth to drive, quiet, and sure footed. That being said she tracks a bit twitchy (not bad) which commands good suspension (lowering considerations for later)and alignment.


Vag80 are you saying the wheels on the Audi in your Album are Borbet A's, or is it too early in the morning for me? Probably. They look like Revolutions. They look great by the way. I'd like all the info on them spec-wise for my records. Cheers.

The wheels on mine are Schmidt modern line 8x15 with an et+25
