Default Thinking about 15in Slipstreams... need opinions and answers please.

Well I think i want to jump on the slipstream bandwagon... really though cheap and light weight plus looks? you can't beat that man.

What do you guys think of the steel Grey slips? These will be going on a 93 civic coupe in Milano red.

Or just get the flat blacks?

also 40 offset is the best right? what's the widest tire I can throw in there with no rubbing? Also I want a low i'm at stock height and don't plan on going any lower b/c of my driveway (stoopid angle, scraps like crazy if i'm not careful)...

I also would like to stay close to stock Overall diameter to keep the overall gear ratio as good as possible. So what size tires fit my requirements? lol pun.

Thanks!

P.S. if you got some rota slips for sale hit me up!

go ahead and get some slipstreams. sooner or later, people will realize that everybody has slipstreams, so they will sell theirs. but i wont sell mine. that way i can be original again

1. i would get black color
2. i would go with 38 offset
3. i wouldn't go over 205
4. 205/50/50, 195/55/15, and 195/50/15 should all be relitively close to stock diameter. i have 205/50/15. check sig for mAd TyIte pIcz.

get them dude. you shouldn't really care what other people think. you're getting the rims for yourself. i got them in flat black and i dont regret it one bit. yea it is played out but they are cheap and work just fine. 205/50 is good enough if you want it close to stock. dont got any pics ill be posting pics soon. just got a vogue silver metallic paint job... dont tell tom !!!

cool, well there is a shop nearby that sells them for $450 bucks. Where's a good place to go buy tires and have them fitted, good tires that is. I live in San Mateo, CA btw.
