uhhh how bout be different.. and get whatever u want.. no offence to ppl who have slips.. cuz ive wanted them at some point.. but EVERYONE and their mom has them.. blades too.. get something different and stop following trends... because soon enough ur gunna look at ur car.. and say.. man.. everyone has slips.. why didnt i get something different..

get off the bandwagon.. and do ur own thing

hell if this matters that much.. im going as far as getting 17" arospeed RS-GT's in silver because i'd rather not get something that 1 billion car enthusiasts have already!..

Get slips, because lighter rims look better.

Blade

I read a thread here before about a guy hitting the burn going around 25mph and the spokes of his rota slips broke off and looked like a boomerang. But IMO I like the slips better than those blades but if there's another option for me it'll be one of those gold/bronze rims

Did you even read that entire thread? That same thing would have happened to any rim. Even forged.
