Default OT (sort of): anyone have experience with Borbet wheels - shocking image follows . . .

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/14718/wheel_comparison2.jpg"></center><p>They're for the missus' 330xi (she does like them BMW's). After last winter with the TT, I made her get all-wheel drive. Today we had the freaky eerily similar experience of nearly sliding into something, coming to a !really slow! stop around a circle with very little ice. Continental ContiTouring CV95 M+S's, bye bye until spring. Getting a set of LM22's with wheels tomorrow, Borbets or AT Italia Flash Sports. Don't know about Borbets, happy with my AT Rivas. Any recommendations? Craggy pics are rough frame grabs from Tire Rack selector.

Jeez. This means when I get the autocross tires in the spring we'll have 5 sets of wheels and tires between us. For 2 leased cars - we're maybe a little nuts, although I plan to get another TT in 2003. Must reorganize garage . . . hey - it's a good time to add that ethernet, so I can post from the TT . . . :^)

Default I have Borbets and Michelin Pilot Alpins - like them and the tires a lot

No problems at all and they're certainly lighter than Audi's wheels.

Default Have Borbets for winter and have been very pleased with them.

Like them best from the photo you provided.

I have borbet wheels and Dunlop M2 snow tires on my TT (2nd winter). From what I have read, they don't stand up very well to potholes, but so far they have worked well for me as a cheap alternative
