Borbet Type Y Gloss Black Wheel Features

The Borbet Type Y Gloss Black wheel showcases a classic multi-spoke pattern that's become a favorite among sport compact enthusiasts looking to modernize their ride's appearance. This wheel features a deep gloss black finish that delivers a sleek, aggressive aesthetic while maintaining the clean lines that make Y-spoke designs so popular across the tuner community. Borbet, a German manufacturer with decades of experience supplying OEM and aftermarket wheels, produces the Type Y with precision casting techniques that balance structural integrity with reasonable weight characteristics. Available in various sizing configurations with 5-lug bolt patterns, this wheel fits a wide range of European and Asian sport sedans and hatchbacks, including brands like Volkswagen, Audi, Subaru, and Mazda. The gloss black finish provides a bold contrast against brake calipers and body colors, creating that street-ready look enthusiasts appreciate. Each wheel includes center caps for a finished appearance, and the spoke design allows for excellent brake caliper clearance on performance-oriented vehicles. Whether you're refreshing your daily driver or building a weekend track car, the Type Y's timeless styling and proven fitment make it a solid choice for drivers seeking quality German engineering.
  • Center cap shown included at no charge.
