Honestly the OZ and Borbet both look pretty similar.

The ASA's actually look like Madras/RXII's and the OZ/Borbet look a lot like Aristos.

My vote actually goes to the OZ tho. Perhaps you should look into Aristos as they may be a little cheaper than OZ's?

I htink the Borbet's (Borbeii?!?!?) look thinner/lighter. Maybe because of the center.

Either way, if you haven't already painted your calipers, you'll hafta!

The ASA's just because they are 17 vs 16's and they weigh the same as 16's!

I like the OZ because of the lower ET.

I didn't realize the OZ was 16 in size. I think you should go 17's.

why do your responses not match the poll?!?

i'm leaning towards the borbets because they don't look as "ricey" as the other two.
