Default 17" Rims and Tires , 4-Lug, Full Set

I have these for sale in Baton Rouge, Louisiana (Zip 70806). Price:$500

I will copy and paste from my Craigslist Ad below. Buyer pays shipping, or arranges pickup.

See Attached photos at end of post.

Thanks For Looking.
_______________________________________________


The lugs are 4x114.3, The most common 4-Lug style. I sold my '96 Accord and don't need these rims anymore. This wheel and tire set (of 4) originally costed me $1,400 and they were worth every penny.

I am selling the whole 1,400 dollar set of rims and tires for only $500 or trade for 5-Lug rims.

Borbet is a German company that specializes in making racing wheels for Porsche, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and Volkswagen. This wheel and tire combination only weights 41 pounds together. Which translates into Better acceleration and gas milage, shorter braking, and quicker lateral changes when driving. The Tires are General Exclaim UHP (205/40 ZR 17, 84W) Extra Load Capacity. Each Tire is rated to carry up to 1,102 pounds and go up to 168 mph. Switching to these tires from the stock tires was a substantial upgrade, especially in the rain, there is a noticeable difference in traction, agility, and quietness. They are classified as summer tires, perfect for Louisiana rain, with big water channels that drastically reduce the chance of Hydroplaning or losing grip - It is a noticeable difference.

These Wheels and tires are used and have visible signs of normal wear and tear concerning the edges of the rims and the tires' tread. The tires are almost half-way through there tread-life with about two or three years left on them. and the Wheels have scratches and chips in some places on the edges. Three of the rims have very few scratches and one of them has some curb-rash around half of the outer most rim of the wheel (not spokes). Pretty minimal damage for used wheels, but still in PERFECT working order, with no dents, warps, defects or rust, only some small topical scratches that could be touched up, see photos. Includes all center caps.

The Rims were purchased from TireRack.com four years ago. They have been stacked in my garage for the last two years. The rims alone totaled $1000, (about 250 each rim only).

The Tires were also purchased from TireRack.com for about $400 (after shipping). I had them rebalanced about a year before I sold the car these came off of, I think it was something like 10 bucks a tire.


Please PM or post any questions you may have. Thank you.

Yes, they are still stacked in my garage with bath towels between each one, just gathering dust.
It's difficult to come down from $500.

I'm surprised how little response this Listing has gotten. Maybe I should give eBay a chance.

I'm Happy to deliver in and around Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana.
