    FS: Borbet Type A's 17x8.5 17x10

    http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...d.php?t=966019

    . All tires hold air, no bends or cracks. Great if you want to polish the lip or paint all together. One rim just needs a bit of work. Btw, I have only seen 5 other sets of these tires. A couple on BFC, one on ebay.de, and spastic's (including mine). They are very rare.

    PRICE DROP 1700 RIMS AND TIRES.

    PRICE DROP PEOPLE

    I think the word 'rare' has been used WAYYY to loosely lately.

    I can't find anywhere to buy these new. On borbet's site, all 17" Type A's are "No Longer Available"

    I am sorry, but you will not get 2300 or even close to that for these.

    BBS RS's have not been made for over 10 years yet I dont consider them "rare" unless they are a rare fitment.

    Even then, you cant sell a set for 2300.

    For 2300, you can buy a set of Work Meister S1 2 Piece 17x9 and 17x10 in custom offsets and dish. Ask me how I know

    no offense dude, but it sounds like you overpaid for the set and now are trying to unload them to someone else for a high price.

    As I stated before, communicate well and often, especially when the news is not going to be pleasant.

    Given the SHEAR VOLUME of bbs rs wheels that were made I wouldnt ever call them rare, regardless of fitment.

    Even if that happened, when did you become the savior of bmw parts? You need to calm down and stop attacking me because I know if you found an E30 M3 for 2k, and for some reason couldn't keep it, you DEFINITELY would not turn around and sell it for 2.5K.

    Please stay out of my thread if you do not feel that you can contribute to the sale. You have been in here multiple times only to say the same thing. If you don't like the price, please go find a cheaper set and purchase them. Otherwise, leave me alone.

    Good luck with the sale man. Love the wheels, and whoever buys these needs to post pics of the crazy size of them.
