Rims

[FL318is]

I want to consider new 16"x7 rims. So far I like the Borbet but can't find out if they make them in a 16 with 4 lug.  Also curious if anyone has a set of 16s and what offset works.  Actually, what is the BBS stock rim offset?

Doesn't look good, Tire Rack only has them in 15x7 and 14x6

I think stock rims (both 14s/15s) are ET23

(I can hear the giant hand of 'correction' headed this way, however)

4-lug 16" rims are depressingly rare... maybe try http://tunershop.com or the wheel for sale classifieds at http://vwvortex.com/

Thats cool.  There are other, better looking rims but I was wanting something that is easy to clean.  I like the stock BBS but they are a PITA.  I like the mesh but not to clean.

whats your budget?

I am open to possible options.  The Borbet are cheap.  I have the silver Beyern 5s on the E46.  They were pretty reasonable as I recall.  Suggestions?  I would like to get 16x7s regardless of which rim I choose!

I like the looks well enough to get them for my car.  Looks like 16x7.5" .  I would prob put the BFg KDWs on them.  Those babies grip like sticky velcro.
