Photo Request for those with slipstreams

[D_Eclipse9916]

I am considering getting the Rota Slipstreams and wondering if anyone would post pictures of theirs. From individual pictures of the rims they look kinda strange but im willing to sacrifice for their weight. Anyone have em?

I'll take this oppurtunity to whore myself out some.

Before the repaint.

i search all over for your rims but i couldnt find it. I think they dont make it anymore... atleast at their site it wasnt there.

Lol its the thread rims, Rota Slipstreams can be found on ebay or at machiii.net or org, I forget. Anybody go from the stock 17-inch rims? I am half-expecting this to be a huge performance gain as some people say the stock 17s are 22-25lbs and slipstreams or grids(would like pictures too) are about 15.2lbs. That should give me anywhere between 25-40 pounds of unsprung weight off the car. Thats crazy for a performance/looks upgrade.

They still make my wheels. They are Rota Slipstreams size 16x7 with stock size tires on them. Check www.machiii.net for a decent deal on them or eBay. Someone posted another link that had some awesome prices on Rota's but I don't remember what it was.

I went from stock 16's to these Rotas. They are 13.5 lbs a piece for the 16 inch version, I can't say that I noticed any real difference in acceleration with the new wheels. BTW, my stock 16 weighed 22 lbs a piece.

cant decide if i like slipstreams or not. I kind of do, kind of don't.

just for a future refernce, when you quote someone that posted images, DELETE the image tags from your reply so all the pictures dont show up again.

I ordered a set of gunmetal Grids from MachIII, they SHOULD be here in about a month. They had to order them from Rota. I'll post some pics once I get them.
I love my slipstreams, but it seems like everybody and their cousin has them. That and the fact that I wanted a change.

Let me know how those look cuz im looking at those or the slips in bronze or alloy (I have a black 2g) I like them but the grids dont come in 17s with a 5x114 from what I saw....
