    Aligti, I haven't seen your car around Alexandria before. Where do you live?

    P.S. These will be for sale in the fall. I have to disassemble them and put the smaller lips on the rear, but they will be fully chrome 5x112 with adapters if needed and 2 tires. The big lips are staying with me so I can build my new A9's. Get em while they're hott!!

    Can't get a pic right now. But I just got a set of 15in Borbet Type D's. They need some werk done to them to get where I want them to be. But for the price I couldn't pass. 200$

    Speedlines looks better and correct to me.. I would sell them and use the money to restore a nice set or find some 16" Speedlines

    I would love to have some Speedlines but my car is 4x100. And really don't want to run adapters. I was thinking about switching to the plus suspension but right now my car already has adjustable sway bars and from my understanding they are different.

    I have a set of 5 16" Speedlines I'm thinking of selling but they are 5x100. Not that there is too much involved in switching from 4 lug to 5 lug if you haven't maintenanced your bearings and brakes in a long time....

    Here's a link to the original GB...

    Thanks man, send me a pic if you do!! The wheels will be et38 without the adapters. 17x8.5 all around. adapters are 15mm so et 23 with them. Probably won't tuck under stock fenders though.

    I think he was referring to the white Corrado on the XXR wheels...

    Momo star r3. I believe I'm the only Corrado running them. Super rare and hard to find parts for. Trying to get a full set of r1 hex caps. Going out to 4evercustoms after h20 to get a full refinish. I love these wheels more then anything and would never sell them.

    ^^Absolutely love those
    5-spoke design 3pc wheels work brilliantly on Corrados



    and yes, 16'' 30-hole lips and barrels are difficult and expensive to source (ask me how I know )
