Decided to part with my Borbets.  
Borbet Type E’s  
17" x 8"  
40mm offset  
Painted graphite, duplicolor wheel paint. Some chips in paint, can be touched up.  
No curb rash.  
machined lip  
5 x 115 bolt pattern (seems to be a GM bolt pattern)

Tires: Kumho MX 245/45/17 about 1/8" tread left. Tire’s have some cracks in them because they’ve been sitting for a while, so I’d plan on replacing the tires.

**$400**

They are still on my car so these are the best pics I have right now.

Its rubbing on the inside edge of the tire which is hitting a solid part of the frame. I dont think rolling will help with that.

They are 5x115 but they fit on 114.3, used them for about 2 years w/o any problems, didnt wobble or ride funny.
