BORBET Y AND CUPRA TERRAMAR.

The CUPRA TERRAMAR is both a sporty SUV and a family car. The BORBET Y wheel design in “black glossy”, “titan matt” and “bronce matt” is the ideal choice for an outstandingly active driving experience.
The BORBET Y in the “Classic” category is now available with ABE approval in 8.0x18 and 8.0x19 inch. With offset 37 and bolt circle 112/5 to match the standard 235/55R18 and 255/45R19 tyres.
With its wheel hub positioned low in the centre, the BORBET Y shows how to optimally emphasise the spokes. Which perfectly expresses the sporty performance of the CUPRA TERRAMAR.

WINTER-PROOF BORBET W IN 8.0X19 INCH WITH NEW ABE FOR MANY CARS.

The BORBET W 10-spoke wheel impresses with its strikingly balanced design. The light alloy wheels in the colour variants “mistral anthracite glossy”, “black polished glossy” and ‘black copper polished matt’ are also ideal for winter use.
As the ABE for the BORBET W wheel in 8.0x19 inch with offset 35 has just been updated, it is now recommended as an eye-catcher for many vehicles.
For example, the Skoda models Kodiaq PS, Superb NZ and Enyaq NY as well as the VW models Passat B9 (CJ) and Tiguan III (CT) or the Ford Kuga DFK including the new facelift and/or plug-in hybrid variants can now be fitted with the BORBET W wheel. Which makes driving that much more beautiful.
