rayjen2k Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Hi folks. I intend to buy a set of alloys for my manta B shortly, and thought it might be no harm to put up a wanted post here first in case someone has a set I might like. Looking for 15", 16" or 17" alloys. Was thinking of going for some 16" borbet A's, 17" AZEV's OR dished BBS reps. I would also be interested in some wide 15" revolution classics (not 6") Thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlf444w Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Yes i dont like stretch tyres wants some 215's 225's for the front 235's on for the rear but wheels look good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayjen2k Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Lovely looking wheels. But is 9" not a bit wide for the front of a manta? I would have thought a 9" wheel on the rear may need a bit of arch rolling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biffy1984 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Can't be sure but I'd say that dolphin grey one has 9's on the back and 7.5's on the front which will fit without arch rolling and the right size tyres as long as your car isn't too low.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with them sizes Biff,with that amount of dish on the rears they are 9's for sure perfect staggered combo for the manta and look the dogs wotsits. I know one thing,i would not pay any more than £400 quid for 2nd hand Borbet A's when you can buy them new for £650 (cheers mantaman) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTAMAN Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Wonder what those Borbet wheels would look like if the centers were painted body colour or a metalic grey ? (leaving the silver rim) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
