      Pic Bump. Can't go wrong with these. All time favorite 1pc weave. Everyone can get bbs RS, can't say the same for these.

                      A couple people pm'd me to explain this statement. I'm not trying to talk anyone out of 16 x 9 et15 Borbet Bs, but the fitment on 16 x 7.5s is basically oem-plus -- you won't need a spacer in the front to clear the struts, or hub-centering rings to account for the bigger center bore, or potentially need to roll your fenders.

                        Yeah except the 16x9 look WAY sicker in my opinion. No pain no gain ;) Some folks like stance, some like that oem look. These are gorgeous wheels either way

                        It's amazing to me how many sets of type bs are on the forum for sale currently . You won't see any for months and now like three sets...

                        I guess when it rains it pours

                            When it rains, it pours and the prices drop. Seems like none have sold.

                              True, the days of the $2k 16 x 7.5 Borbet Bs came and went fast but I don't see prices dropping too much because there just aren't that many sets out there. I think there's more for sale at the moment than there are people actually running them. I went through the Member's Rides section and only found a couple square 16 x 7.5 sets.

                                You're probably right and yes, the $2k + days are gone. $2k would get you RS003a these days.

                                Borbet did just re-issue the A and maybe they'll start selling the Bs again too. I mean who knows.
