Awesome man, reminds me of Vince Brown's car. What happened to the black FD with ADR wheels?

 

nice

polish them man and then they are dope

 

nice man, i was looking at those myself..you got them off tirerack correct?

those wheels fit the wheel wells perfectly, not too much but yet not too little, its perfect..

if you're a 5 spoke guy, these wheels are hot to put...

 

Paint your Front Lip...

 

Clean ride man....And Don't paint your front lip!! It'll chip and look all fucked up....Just put some Armor All on it!!

 

My front lip is painted, it has a couple small rock chips and even a scrape, but nothing too noticeable unless you get close to it. IMO painting your front lip gives your car a completely different look. Much better then the stock black plastic look.

But back to the wheels; they look great. What tires did you decide to go with?

 

I traded the ADRs for these units. the wheels are 17x8f, 17x8r. Im running the bridgestone potenza RE-11 235/45/17 front, and 275/40/17 rear. these were used about 500miles before the guys car blew up, so the tires are like new.

 

****! You're running a 275 tire on a 17X8 rim?

 

^^it might be a typo, maybe he meant a 17x9R but even though, thats still wide as hell for a tire..

i could be wrong though

 

Nice wheels, lose the r1 wing.

 

lose the wing? No way

 

looks nice, what are the offsets on those wheels?

 

Looks good, I love white FD's

 

yeah, sorry 17x9 rear

 

35mm

 

scratchjunkie digs it

 

Sweet!

 

YES WAY. It's Hurt.

 

WOW, beautifull FD and those wheels fit the car better than a glove, looks amazing.
Do you ever drive that car, cause it sure looks like garage queen, mint...

 

hell yeah.

 

Borbet wheels ? They are considered as budget (read low quality and heavy) wheels.
I dont get it why everyone is drooling about them

Did you weigh them ?

 

I personally think the style of the wheel looks nice on his FD, but your right, they are heavy. My brother has the EXACT same wheels on his cavalier, just smaller widths. The stock FD wheels with tires, are much MUCH lighter than these wheels without tires. I think the size of his are 17x7.

you said you dont have too much scratches on your lip, so if you dont beat on the lip, get it painted, it will look really hott

 

Honestly, unless someone is doing "time attacks" on the track, the weight is going to be meaningless.

The Borbet Type T (and TD) wheels are one of the few that really compliment the FD, especially without killing the wallet. They were my first choice in wheels. I just didn't get them because there was a group buy for them a few years ago here on the forum and a lot of members got them. So, I went a different route.

I'll attach a photo of a semi-local guys car who got them as well.
