so.. are these at all rare?

[SpasticDwarf]

Im pickin up a set of borbet type a's from a friend for $900, but these arent like any type a's Ive seen. These are 17x9 instead of the common 16x9, and these are also 5lug. Does anyone else have a set like these?
Ive asked a few people and they said that they have never even known of these wheels to exist. So...
are we all just dumb or am I grabbin' someting semi-special?

sounds like 5 series fitment wheel to me

are they square or something?

I don't think I've ever seen a set of ALL 17x9.

I've seen 17x7.5 and 17x10 in both 5x114.3 and porsche fittment(5x130)... but even then those aren't easy to come by. If you aren't 5 lug you can get adapters, assuming they're the porsche lug pattern. Otherwise they're boat anchors for you.

haha well Ive gotten that much.. but are they common? Ive never seen any 5ers with them.

Well it is a full set of 17x9 et20.
These are BMW fitment (5x120) so all I am asking is if these are rare?

I would say yes, although if I thought my car was worth enough to throw a 5 lug swap on it, I would be telling you no and talking to you about acquiring them. ;)
