Did Borbet A's ever come in larger sizes, such as a 17 or 18 in a 5 series fitment? Couldn't really find much of anything by searching, so these would be rare if they did exist I guess.

They did come in a 17x8.5/10, but are now discontinued, though pretty easily found in the used market. They did also come in 18x8.5, but I believe it was only in 5x112 PDC, though these are great canidates to fill and re-drill. You're looking a about $1000-1500 a set in either size, and before a re-drill.

As for being 5-series fit, the CB was usually 73mm, so use of a hub centric ring was needed for most applications.

Awesome, thanks for the info man! If the offsets are right a 17x8.5/10 set would look pretty sweet I think.
