FYI: tirerack.com is having a special on Borbet C wheels in the 15x7 size - $109 a piece. Don't know what offset they have in stock; the borbet website lists 4 different available offsets for the 7Jx15H2 wheel - 18, 30, 35, 40. Appearantly The Mille Miglia Type 8 15x7 wheels are regularly $109 as well and look like Mercedes knock offs. Though the Type # wheels are no longer listed on Mille Miglia's website... What's the offset of the factory alloys again (they are 7" wheels). Anyone know what the J and the H2 mean in the wheel size? Is one of those a hardness rating? Anyone know what hardness would be suitable for a syncro that ventures off road often (though to date has not been through any boulder fields). dave |
