Had so many idiots try to tell me my RM's arent rare,

am i right to think that 4x108 7x15 rms are rare?

Especially with 63.4mm centre bores!

http://www.dubmeister.co.uk/webshop/alloy-wheels/htn/

Anything from the above link would look amazing!!

Mainly the RS design

Borbet A is the only "classic" design that is still sold. If you're lucky, then you'll probably get some aftermarket ones on ebay and maybe with the right bolt pattern. But they will be horribly expensive. And in most cases they need some new paint or a polish or both.

There are some other companies that still make similar wheels and you can buy them new. Like HTN for example...

im pretty surtain borbet b's are discontinued,which would be a shame as they are very nice
i would say rm's are rare in a ford fitment,but in 4x100 vw fitment they are pretty much common

@Jonny: Like I wrote, Borbet don't sell them anymore. Happens to many fine wheels.

4x108 was also VW/Audi pattern, on the last Audi 80/90/100 and I believe also on some VWs...

Quite extensive ones on Driftworks & Trampdift, but I just made a nice concise one there on Retro Rides which gets to the point....

The Saph was always a stop-gap drifter to learn in with the Capri being the main plan. Will be insane when it's done
