They are Borbet Type T. I don't think they are made any longer, he can give you more detail when he sees this.

LOL...I never would have seen this thread if someone didnt direct me here. I love the spelling of my name! :D

And yes, Shamrock hit the nail on the head. I have Borbet Type Ts, and no, they are no longer made. I bought them when they were discontinued and Tirerack was closing them out at $169 each, which is a bargain considering new they were around $350 each.

I have a ton of pix on my website, including a small section of other cars with the same rims.

If you want a rim that is very similar to mine, Borbet still makes a Type E, which has a differnet center cap and slightly different rim. I know they make it in a 17" wheel, but I am not sure of the offset and bolt pattern will fit our cars.

There is also another Australian company called ROH that makes a wheel called the ZS. It has different spokes, but still has that deep dish look and I know it fits our cars. Another cool thing is the ZS is not painted like the Borbet is, so you can polish it up to look a lot shiner than the Borbets. Of course the downside to bare wheels is theyre harder to maintain. With my Borbets, soapy water and a sponge is all I need to keep my rims clean and brake dust free.
