<E28> will 17" wheels found a set

["Ron J" <ron@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Seems I found a set of wheels including tires for $1000 Canadian (approx 700
USD) They are TSW wheels, all aluminum.. nice and light.. One piece, with
Dunlop SP Sport 225 45ZR17 tires mounted on them.  The rims are new, and the
tires only have about 300 miles on them.  I think its a deal.

The rim style is TSW Blade.  Nice wheel.  They are brand new, so the holes
and the machining has to be done tommorrow, and I should have them on the
car by Friday

Anyone ever run these before?

Cheers
