Anyone got some Rota Slipstreams on their dsm they could show some pics of. I'm getting some 15's from a friend and was curious if they looked too ridiculously small and if i should just resell and get 16's. Keep in mind....12lbs per. :dsm: :thumb: Thanks guys!
 
Rota's do look pretty good, but definately go with 16's cause the 15 won't cut it for a dsm, they look ok on a honda, just too small for us.
 
yea the 15s came off my friend's integra t. r so they looked good but your right 16s look really good. i've seen someone with a silver gst on here with black 16s. stock side skirts.....and wingless...i'd hate to copy but it looks clean and slick. thanks for the replies guys!
 
Ok...16x7s that are 13.5lbs isn't too hard to come by...my 17x8s are only 14lbs.

Thats the only thing I didn't like about rota's when I was buying rims...no larger width than 7". But your n/t so its not such a big deal.

They do look nice though...I think 17's would look that much better. DSM's IMO are made for 17's...18's and 19's also look very nice...but you just loose a lot of performance when going that big...17's are the perfect medium. But then again...if your going black, 16's will be just fine.

I agree that DSMs are made for 17s. The price is usually reasonable, handling will improve, looks will improve, bending your rims isn't very likely, and straight-line traction will still be decent.

Damn, that is a nice hookup. I should've looked around more...
 
You still selling them dannyboy? If so, how much with tires? Shoot me a PM. I'm thinking about selling my 19's for some rotas.
 
Eventually im getting my car repainted jet black this summer. and im throwing on some bronze rota slipstreams...ala Shep's car. (he has the whole black/bronze theme, it seems) :thumb:
