Wheel Recommendations
I'm looking to relegate my 16 inch sport (10spoke) OEM wheels to snow tire use and replace them with a 5-spoke 16 inch alloy wheel. I like the style (and price) of the Borbet E/H/T, Mille MigliaII-2 and Sport Edition Valore. Any info on the differences in these wheels or what I'm not getting by not spending $1000 each for more expensive single piece alloys?

if you dont care about weight, get a used set of the S4 17's
they are always for sale by the S4 guys. I just saw a set in the classifieds for like 500 for the entire set. I have always liked that look...there are alot of nice looking wheels out there for a good price, and the fac that you are staying at 16 will cut your cost down a lot.

Do you find the little rivets in your wheels hard to clean?
I love those wheels, but if it means EXTRA care on my wheels already, I'm not sure if I'm sold.. Or did you change brake pads to keep it easy?

Re: Do you find the little rivets in your wheels hard to clean?
Good question. That didn't even cross my mind when I bought them. That has not been an issue surprisingly enough. These wheels are very easy to clean. I use Simple Green on them when I wash the car.

Re: I have Borbet Type R's and have no problems in NE
One more question.. What's your suspension setup? Are you just running stock sport shocks/springs, or do you have another setup? I like the looks of your car with the 18's on there, and there doesn't seem to be much of a gap, but wanted to see if you managed to save some $$ and just use the sport shocks and springs??
