Got the wheels on a month or so ago and decided to take the S70 out to a local BBQ with my friends from Simply Clean, HighwayStar and Dub Empire. Here are some shots. If you're interested in seeing more from the BBQ, check out the coverage on my site LoweredLifestyle.com Click here

Wheels are the super rare 18" Borbet Type A's. Got them brand new, in original boxes, never mounted since they were made in 1990. They're just about as OG as they come. I also added genuine "Flat Caps" with the embossed Borbet logo. The wheels will be for sale shortly. Most likely June / July, if anyone's interested.










And a teaser of how the car sits today:

the flat caps make it look so much better than the other one's i've seen around. cannot wait to see these wheels in person in a few weeks.

I like it.

[andyb5]

Nice, I love the Borbets. Much better than the style 5s.

Also, why do I like that last picture so much?

You forgot to mention that you've removed the paint on the new fender with acid and are watching it burn in order to later make it rust prior to bolting back on. Sweet!

jk. looks good, Matt!

they have to go to me... they will be soo dope on a red 855r

These look awesome Matt! Perfect wheel for the S70.
Now I know they are original and all that but the differing silvers is throwing me off. If you were to keep them I would say to color match the centers to the car. That would only increase teh hawtness.

Thanks, I really dig them.

Yup, original finish on them. I agree on the different silvers, but don't you worry about that
