    Try the M countours, the borbet's are too popular. And plus I want to see how they look on an e34 before I get some.

    Te Borbets on my car (see sig) are very close to the BMW style 18's. PO put them on.

    Mine are Borbet type H but replaced the Borbet centers with roundels after 2 of the black Borbet covers came off...I think they're cheap (around $100ea.) new from tire rack...I like them cause they are EASY to clean and I like 5 spoke wheels.

    Default M Contours on an e34 Touring

    ...its a Touring not a sedan....but she IS wearing M-Contour replicas. True BMW M-Contours (Style 23) came on the e36 3/M3/Z3 M Roadster...so the offset is too high (41mm) for the e34 (11mm-28mm). You can now get this style wheel from the TireRack (it's the AT Italia Type 5 or AT Italia Type 5 Sport). I actually purchased mine from The Wheel Exchange back in 2000...but I don't think they sell this wheel anymore.

    I like my M-Contours. Easy to detail. I was going to post a pic, but WTF happened to the old gallery?

    Anyway, to clairfy - The TireRack AT Italia Type 5 or AT Italia Type 5 Sport come in a version designed to fit the E34. The original OEM's from the Z3 will not.
