The absolute highlight in 2024 will be the new BORBET TF wheel design. The type designation TF stands for “twenty four” and thus for the first 24-inch wheel from BORBET. To celebrate this special premiere, several colour variants of the design will be presented. A trend barometer will decide which colours will be included in the BORBET specialist retail range after the trade fair. In terms of technology, the new BORBET TF in an impressive 10.5x24 inches also shows what “Made in Germany” makes possible. The Performance Cut process, for example, guarantees weight savings with precise moulding. The impressive wheel load of up to 1,050 kilograms makes the new BORBET wheel the ideal companion for numerous SUVs.

As a further world premiere, BORBET is presenting the new XV wheel in the sizes 8.5x19 and 9.5x19 inches in “black polished matt” and “black glossy”. This “High Load Wheel” is designed for a wheel load of 910 kilograms and, as usual from BORBET, will be launched with ABE and even ECE approvals. The BORBET XV is available just in time for the winter season for a wide range of vehicles such as the Audi A4 and A6, BMW X3/X4, Mercedes E-Class and S-Class or Tesla Model 3 and Y.

When it comes to surfaces, BORBET shows just how innovative state-of-the-art can be. As a novelty in the product range, the surface gives the impression of raw cast aluminium. This can be combined with diamond grinding, milling and/or coloured clear lacquer, as well as with visible differences to machined surfaces. All true to the motto “less is more”.

But for those who prefer more than less from a visit to the trade fair, the BORBET source of inspiration in Hall 8.1 on Stand D30/E31 will certainly bring you up to date with the latest wheel innovations.
