BORBET – brand portrait

BORBET is a long-established German aluminium wheel manufacturer headquartered in Hallenberg in the Sauerland region. Founded in 1881 as an iron foundry, the company has produced aluminium wheels since 1977 and today is one of the leading OEM suppliers to German premium manufacturers including Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. BORBET stands for precise „Made in Germany" production, a broad design spectrum from classic multi-spoke through sporty Y-designs to modern concave looks, and consistently strict quality controls with TÜV strength testing.

In Switzerland, BORBET wheels are especially common on Volkswagen Group vehicles, German mid- and upper-class saloons and SUVs. As BORBET wheels are often fitted in non-OEM dimensions or colour variants, a declaration of conformity is generally required for registration.

What's included in your BORBET wheel certificate

Our Swiss declaration of conformity – also known as wheel certificate or wheel report – for BORBET wheels is an official document containing all information required by the cantonal road traffic offices:

• Manufacturer and model designation of the BORBET wheel (e.g. BORBET Y 8.0×18 ET45, 5×112)
• Permitted tyre dimensions with load and speed indices
• Vehicle combinations with brand, model, type and year range
• Instructions on spacers, track wideners and fender rolling
• Notes on lowering and any required anti-roll bar adjustments
• Conformity with regulations of the Swiss Federal Roads Office (FEDRO/ASTRA)

The document is delivered as a PDF by email. You take it to the road traffic office of your canton – registration is done directly at your appointment, in most cantons without further inspection.
