I recently upgraded my 2021 Kia K5 LXS with Borbet Type W rims that I purchased from TireRack.com, and I couldn’t be happier with the transformation. The entire process was seamless from start to finish. The website was easy to navigate, and I found exactly what I needed quickly. The rims added a sleek and sophisticated touch to my car, making it look more dynamic and elegant. The multi-spoke design is not only visually appealing but also enhances the vehicle’s overall performance, providing a smoother and more stable ride. The high-quality craftsmanship of the rims ensures durability and reliability. Purchasing from TireRack.com was a great decision; the delivery was prompt, and the customer service was exceptional, making this upgrade a delightful experience overall.
I purchased a set of Borbet Type W wheels from Tire Rack for my 2019 Mini Countryman S ALL4. Arrived the very next day. Factory 18 X 8 replacement to the OEM alloys that were kinda blah looking and always showed the road grime. These are beautiful upgrades from Borbet, easy to clean and the machined with black finish doesn’t show the dirt nearly as much. With new Bridgestone Driveguard Plus tires it handles better and drives more smoothly. Worth the upgrade!
I bought these 20x8 wheels mounted with the 245/45ZR-20 Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus tires for my wife's 2022 BMW X3 after being told by the dealership that the factory run-flats needed to be replaced after only 17K miles, and quoted me around $2500 just for the tires. It was cheaper to get all new wheels and tires than to replace the run-flats, and these tires will have a much longer tread life, better grip and ride smoother, so a win-win. Only problem is the vehicle doesn't have a spare tire, so need to keep that in mind. I had a very difficult time getting a straight answer from anyone on whether this would cause an issue with the vehicle computer or transmission, but when I received the wheels/tires the diameter was nearly identical to the 21" stock wheels/tires (275x35 rear, 245x40 front). The Borbet wheels look amazing, and you can even install the stock BMW center hub on the wheels, so that made my wife happy.
Very nice wheels and tires.
They stick out from the side of the car a little.
They don’t have the same offset as the OEM wheels. There have not been any problems with clearance.
The original equipment wheels are flush with the sides of the car so the difference in offset is noticeable.
There is a slight reduction in range.
