ministig Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Borbet do make 15" A's.I have had a couple of sets in different spec.However there are some reps kicking about, mainly on ebay, and they are pretty poor copies.Stick a pic of yours up and then we can make a proper judgement.

o0oDeano0o Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Sorry I'm sure it was only 2 :/ and I'm 99.9% sure mine are real... Bit I was taking to a girl today and she said she phone borbet and asked if they have made any size 15s ever and they said no... So that made me sort of question it... I hate uploading pics on hear a lot of work :/ just for a pic... Do u have kik or Instagram?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ministig Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Nope use neither - upload to photobucket then copy the IMg code.They 100% made 15's here are some pics of mine (genuine borbet - some reps are still stamped borbet but you can tell by the spoke shape)With flat capThey come in 13-18" never seen any 19"s.......yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ministig Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Genuine ones have part numbers:A70535 or 70525 (the 7 denoting width, and the 35 or 25 denoting offset)Edit: there are also 15x6 but no wider sizes in 15" Edited January 15, 2013 by ministig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I've got the SWG reps on the Rapey.Well, they're not on the Rapey. Two are stored, two are in the back and it has Bathursts on it atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ministig Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Yep reps 100% sureA90615 refers to 9" wide 16" diameter et15But yours are 15x8.You can see the spokes are more rounded than the real deals too.Still nice wheels, its a shame people sell them as genuine ones all stamped up borbet etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o0oDeano0o Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I know if u don't know what ur looking for then it's 1 of them...

leighton88 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 they do look awesome tho buddy in all honesty...I have a set of wheels that are similar to borbet A but and all that i can gather is that they came from a company i Belgium in the 80's that specialized in volvos or saabs or something...there 16x7.5 also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
