Rota slipstreams for the price and weight cannot be beaten.

:edit: Although I see these Flik wheels are the same thing.
actually they can be beaten.

Falken Hanabi's. 15x7, 11lbs, at about $400 new.


i got my tires mounted last night but havnt been able to take a pic yet. there currently some damn snow on the ground which is rediculas, but i might put the wheels on my car later
If only those had straight spokes! I'd be all over them.

Not bad! Where did you buy them? Link? I wonder if they have any black with machined lip?

i got mine from a local shop for just a few bucks less then edgeracing. i got new Work lug nuts and weighed everything a few times over to get a fairly accurate estimate. compared to my other craptacular wheels, i lost about 30lbs of unsprung weight all together[sm=bounceybounce.gif]

i just put them on a few mins ago...just a quick pic i got..

ya the difference is great. slightly easier acceleration and betterbraking. handles even better since the tires are a good upgrade too. i cant wait to give them a good test at the next race.

I would love to get some if it weren't for the fact that on one side they look like they go into the ground, and on the other away from it. I would hate that...shame cuz i was excited for a while.

i thought they'd be weird too but now that i have them, it dosnt bother me at all. the fact that their pretty light and are cheap makes up for all that and i care more about the performance factor. plus, u only see one side of the car when looking at it anyways haha

there used to be a store on ebay that sold rota slips with performance tires mounted and balanced for 450 bucks shipped...but they seem to have dissapeared.
