So....back in the spring I bought a set of beat-up Borbet Type Rs to use as my winter wheels w/ snows. Last week I go to mount them, and one of them turns out to be out-of-round and needs straightening. I get a call from the guy at the wheel shop yesterday saying the wheel cracked during the straightening process. They don't make them anymore, and I can't locate any online, on Ebay or craigslist. I know its a long shot, but if anyone has 1 or 2 of these (17x8, 5x120 pattern, 40 offset) laying around I'll buy them off of you, so long as they are straight. Let me know. Thanks!!

Mike

There are some very similar ones floating around on Boston's craigslist.
Don't remember seeing those exact ones however.

I haven't seen those.....bump for desperation. My full-size spare is getting the 4th snow tire on friday if I can't find a replacement. None of you want to see a ghetto-M3 so help me out! :D

PS I'll even take bent ones as long as they're cheap.
