Borbet A alloy wheels 5x100 with tyres

[Chillie]

As title states, for sale are a set of 4 16" Borbet A alloys with 5x100 fitement, I believe they are 7.5j all around and sit nicely just inside the arch. They have come off a Fabia Vrs mk1.

They need blasting down and repainting as they were part of a project to "Decopage" them, turned out nice but the effect didn't last long and now looks a bit scruffy. Originally Red.

All the wheels have decent tyres on and can be used straight away but I am sure you will want them blasting down and respraying first. They come with the flat Borbet centre caps.

I will post pics up later but if your looking for a set of Borbet A I am sure you know what they look like and these need blasting anyway so once you are done they will look different to the picture. One of the alloys has had a crack repaired, about 3cm, it was done properly by a wheel shop and has been balanced fine.

£300 no offers as priced to sell.

The decopage has faded and peeled in areas now

 

 

Centre cap locking nuts and tool

 

 

Flat centre cap

 

3 our of the 4 tyres are in this condition, quite a bit of tread left

 

 

One of them is still usable for good few miles, but will be one of the first to be replaced, probably another thousand miles or so

Noob questions coming up lol....

Will I need spigot rings and will I also need longer wheel bolts to for these? Or any other extras to fit on a fabia VRS mk1

Thanks

[Chillie]

Nope, they fitted straight on, used the wheels nuts that came with the standard fabia vrs alloys

[Kai-Anthony]

Borbet are taper seat,so you really need taper bolts.

Standard VRS bolts are not taper seat.

Fair enough, however found no issues when being used

How do you get that finish on the wheels

[Chillie]

Was done using a Manga novel, waterproof glue, had to find the right combination of materials to stop reactions, at first the glue was reacting with the lacquer which caused it to unstick etc.

 

Managed to get a good balance but after a while in the bad weather it just couldn't keep up. Was going to re paint the wheels and go back to normal but decided on a new set.
