Borbet A's coming up?
My buddy had a set of 17"s (!) on his. A tad too big, so I hope you got some smaller ones.
Yeah those are definitely donk status. And yes I got some Borbet type A's that are 16x7.5 4x114.3 et 30. I got them for a super deal but they all need work on the lips. I am going to need adapters obviously too. I'm hoping I can still lay it out when the air ride is done though since they are going to be 7.5 inches wide +5 offset with the adapters. I'm probably going to need to roll some fender.
16x7.5
ET 30
4x114.3
I'm looking at getting 25mm adapters which will make them +5 offset
2 out of 4 wheels are not bad and the other two need some work.
I have been lusting after these wheels ever since I saw some and for the price I couln't pass these up.
erhem. Those were 9x16 Soilborn :P And yes, the tractor height makes it ridiculous.
But at least they were in a tad better shape than your ones, if I might say OpelWagenGT. ^^
I've moved on to 9x15 exips, and waiting for 80/70mm lowering kit, so that i can redeem myself.
But keep up the good work, and keep it clean!
Also considering to go for widened original rims, looks awesome.
Had this bad boy visit me last summer.
nice borbets. are you gonna restore them yourself? post detailed pics of the work on those wheels.
Thanks! I'm going to visit Cascade Wheel Repair tomorrow since they are right by my house. I want to get their opinions and possibly a quote on what they would charge to fix them. There is one small bend that I will definitely have fixed professionally. Anything I will do myself I will.

i thought about doing that with the my GT wheels but i think the car needs 15s
So I decided to get off my ass today and make some real progress. I spent this morning pulling the sad, worn out engine. It has been running on about 2 cylinders lately so I figured it was time. I ran into some interesting situations but overall it went smooth. In fact it got really smooth when I leaked all my transmission fluid on the floor . Anyway I have a rebuilt engine That is waiting to go in but needs to be repainted.
The new motor is
1.9 L CIH
Bored .050 over
High compression pistons
Isky racing cam
I put a nice little peek of engine plans at the bottom for those of you that like the teasers.
