NEW DYNAMIC DUO: BORBET N AND CUPRA TAVASCAN.
As an electric SUV coupé, the new Cupra Tavascan is causing a sensation. The BORBET N wheel now makes its dynamic performance perfect all round. With the colours “black glossy”, “bronce matt” and “crystal silver”, which are ideal for winter use.
The BORBET N in the “Classic” category is now available for the Cupra Tavascan in 8.0 x 19 inch with an offset of 44.9 in the 112/5-hole version. As a dynamic 10-spoke wheel “made in Germany”, it impresses right from the start with ABE approval to match the standard tyre combination VA 235/55 + HA 255/50R19.

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.
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.
