New Rims/Snow tires on Borbet LV5

Threw on my new snow tires today, Borbet LV5 17" wrapped in General Tire Altimax Arctics. They fit perfectly with more than enough clearance for the Brembos.

Are those 17x8 or 17x7.5? Also, where did you get them from?

Thanks,
Warren

Thanks guys. I got them from Tire Rack about a month ago, they are 17x7" and the cost out the door IIRC was around $1100. blackbolt89: I am in central/Northern NJ in Lebanon right off R78.

Jesus... I could never justifying paying that much for snow rims... Maybe for a summer set, but nothing that is going to get destroyed by salt. I rock the stock steel for winter.

Us TC drivers don't have that luxury. Steelies are no bueno with our Brembos. 17"+ alloys only.
