Borbet XRT Alloys
Hi, after running around on 17inch SE winter wheels on my MSport car I'm toying with the idea of getting some new wheels for summer use and then use the standard 18inch MSport wheels for winter.
I've got my eyes on 19 inch Borbet XRTs as shown on the f30 below. Two questions: 1. Are Borbet a supplier of BMW oem wheels? 2. Does anyone have an f11 of f10 with 19Borbets fitted? If so photos please.  |

I've got them in 18" as my winter setup, they are a quality product
Here they are on my 530d, 19" would look great!  Last edited by e92liv; 01-26-2016 at 05:03 AM.. |

Agreed these really do complement the car i like them alot and they almost look oem, like mentioned im sure borbet have produced wheels for bmw in the past.
If it were me though, and it was a summer setup id go for these babies

you'll need to make sure they're 5 x 120 for the 5er, unless the F11 is different bolt pattern?

Their website says Borbet have supplied BMW, but does not say whether or not they are current suppliers.

Thanks for the info guys, as I thought regarding OEM or previous OEM for BMW which gives some assurance regarding quality.
Agreed that 20's would look great but tbh I still want to retain some kind of ride quality so moving from 18" rft to 19" non rft should hopefully be similar in that respect. 20s may well kill the ride as well as being vulnerable children damage on our crap roads |

I too made the jump to 20" wheels (OEM 434M) from 19" 351M's. I've lost some ride comfort, but makes up for it in how they look.
