Alloy opinions please

[Pete]

Well a big thanks to Mr. Southie for his ps,
What alloys do you think suit my Nova better? Ronals or Borbs?

Tough choice TBH!

[Iain]

Oh man that's a tricky one. Leaning towards the Borbets for me, will they fit under standard arches?

[Bubba]

id say Borbets...but the problem i can think of is do the Borbet A's come in ET49ish? i always thought they were low offset wheels

[Pete]

I'm not 100% sure on what ET they come in, I'd have to look into it a bit more. If I decide on Borbs id tweak the arches to make fit.

[brucer]

ronals

[Bubba]

dont hold me to it...but i think its ET15, ET25 and ET30 or around them, ideal for VWs and BMWs but not vaux.

[ECO16V]

Borbets for me mate

[Connor]

You'll struggle to get either under standard arches, only come in dub offset et38 iirc, the ronals will be your best bet but the best fitment you will get is 15x7 et40 i think. Loon arches give you the extra clearance. Borbet a's do have less dished versions but im unsure of the sizes available for them

[16v Nova Kev]

100% ronal's


nice window sticker

[Novasport]

Neither, and neither will fit without serious arch work or poor handling.
If Borbet's were available less dished in a suitable size, whats the point? You buy Borbets for being a dished rim.

Try taking a wheel and try doing something different with it like powdercoating & diamond cutting the face.

[Connor]

I was just stating that i have seen less dished borbets, thats all. Ive seen them fitted to e30s i will see if i can get a pic

[Bubba]

the following borbets models will fit (according to the borbet "konfigurator") ET40

BS4
CA
LV4
TC
X8


oh and E30's have an offset of 15.

[G-nova]

Ronals

[Dervy]

i would say neather as they have both been seen on nova`s before, plus borbets will be hard to fit, if your willing to spend that sort of money on wheels then find some that haven`t been seen on a nova.

[blue_peg_16v]

Ronal teddies ftw

[peester]

Get yourself on compomotives website; they do near - replica's of, im sure, both wheels - in much more nova-friendly offsets.

[pie]

ronals :)

iirc use the be a black wide arch turbo on borbets a while back i may be wrong tho

diamound cutting aint cheap lol not round here any way

[TeddyThom]

Ronal teddies ftw
This.

[Pete]

Lmao at the teddies, it's either one of them if I can get to fit etc, or some banded steels.
Unless I find anything else of course.

[Jedro]

ronals
