Borbet Type A's
Borbet is a wheel manufacturer for Porsche. The Borbet Type A is pretty much my favorite wheel, and I would really like to know what they look like on an FC, and more importantly if they would fit. They have a goofy offset, but what do you guys think?
Shop to buy...
The sizes in 16" come in two available widths and offsets:
7.5"x16" ET 35/20
9"x16" ET 15
17" may be available but harder to find.
It doesn't say much about bolt pattern. I know they are available in at least 4x100, 5x100, 5x130 and 5x114.3. Is that our size? These are getting harder to find.
Could someone photoshop these wheels for me?

Offset is too low.
You're not going to get big dish out of most FC wheel fitments cause of the high offset.
Try and find some "ATS" brand rims - some of their designs have curved inward spokes that allow them to run a quasi-dish.

You mean ATS cups? I don't really see them working on an FC.
Their kind of a basic style rim with flare. Perfect for the above car, but I would need to see a photoshop on an FC

I found these for $102/piece from EdgeRacing.com
17x7 ET42 18 lbs
Also available with tire bundles...
OR these black ones are nice too
$102/piece
17x7 ET42 19 lbs
I really like the silver ones. I think the lines go well with the FC, rounded yet geometric and angular. Here's a pic on an Audi.
Can someone photoshop the silver ones and or the black ones on my car?

Here's another example...

The fitment is perfect for an FC, but it still runs pretty high offsets.
The illusion of a big lip is there due to the curved spokes.

Maybe you can photoshop these for the FC.
