I'm selling my Borbet Type T wheels and Pirelli P7000's. The tires are like new. The wheels are 17x9.5 48mm offset.

I already have a set of these otherwise I'd be interested! These look great on my '97 Trans-Am!

No, that was the problem. Steve did the Bob Bishop upgrade and the wheels don't fit.

The problem is that the spokes curve in toward the center of the wheel. It's the part of the spoke that is closest to the center of the wheel that hits the caliper.

ah.. i see. for some reason (wishful thinking?), i thought that z06 brakes were different from the garden variety c5 brakes.

those are some sweet looking wheels - <sigh>

damn I'm sure shipping to 14228 (Buffalo ny) would be a little expensive.
