Arrow Borbet Type "T" 17x9.5" chrome rims with BFG KDW's

I love these rims but it is time for something different...

This rim and tire package was purchased new by me in April of 2001. They have served as my "show only" set and have less than 10K on them. They are about as near mint a condition as you'll find. Borbet has stopped making the Type "T" rim for f-body fitments for some time now so you'll be hard pressed to find many f-cars fitted with these rims. They will fit '93-'02 f-bodies with factory sized calipers and rotors. Due to the deep dish of the rim they won't clear oversized brakes.

Rims are 17x9.5" and factory chromed. They have never been curbed or otherwise harmed in any way. I am a professional detailer by trade and have kept up with these rims in a meticulous fashion. They have always been washed by hand and have never had a brush or any harsh chemicals applied to them. They have always been sealed with either Meguiar's #20 or Poorboy's Wheel Sealant. The only flaw on the whole set is one small area about an inch long on a passenger side rim that has a bit of chrome delaminating. This is only on one rim and is obviously a factory flaw in the chroming process. I have included a photo of the area. Other than that they are truly mint.

Tires are BFGoodrich G-force KDW's sized 275/40 with about 10K on them. The easily have 90%+ tread life left. These are the original tires mounted and balanced to the rims and have never had a patch or a plug. I have always used water based products when dressing them and they are still very soft and pliable.

Included are valve stems, center caps and 20 chrome lugs in excellent condition.

Asking $1000 with local pick-up only...I'm not shipping these.

Please contact me at mluca54@bellsouth.net with any questions.

The one "flaw" of the whole set. It looks much less dramatic in person.

Thanks for the compliments all. They indeed are beautiful but I have had them for six years now and it is time to move on.

Here are some pics of them on my WS6...

Will consider shipping but bear in mind it will add at least another $100 or so to the price.
