Burna Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 One is painted, the other is a diamond cut finish but the plastic coating has come away and the metal face is being attacked by the elements. That's what they look like to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobyg Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Was thinking of selling them, have run them on my Supra for 2 years, I know they need a refurbish, but I hadn't spotted they are not identical. On the back the text says The one with the lip : Borbet ET40 PCD 114,3 Made in Germany TTE 85840 96 36 The one without the lip : Borbet ET40 PCD 114,3 Made in Germany TTE 85840 96 25 Why is nothing ever simple? Anybody know about the difference ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Maybe when it was refurbed the lip was so damaged that they removed it to make it an easier job. I wouldn't know if that would affect the tyre placement or not, but the other wheel does seem very scuffed, so maybe thats the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 So did you have both of these wheels on the car at the same time even though they look different ie. one silver and one black and silver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobyg Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 yes, but you could only see one of them at a time as they were opposite each other. I know I should be ashamed of myself..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franko Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 perhaps the diamond cut one requires a lip so the seal which protects it is covered from damage thus making it survive the weather better? P.s Just a guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
