ok i did a search but not many people have the 16" slipstreams, i think mst bought the 15" version cause thats all that was available.

i can get the 15" anytime, but the 16" are n backorder. i want to buy these rims but i dont know if i should go w/ the 15's?

i dont want to make a purchase ill regret,tellme what you think?

 

They both weight the same right? Correct me if I'm wrong.

You can find cheaper, more "slick" tires for 15's. The 16" wheels look better, so go for whatever you want...

BTW, what website are you ordering them from, I would like to know, thanks!

 

ya it seems the 16's look better on coupes...i kinda had my heart set on falken azenis (sp?) too but they dont have an ideal 16" size...

the cheapest ive seen is this retailer on clubsi.com (go to group buys section)

hes selling the 15" slipstreams for $411 shipped and the 16" slipstreams for $485 shipped.

but the 16's are out of stock....

 

16s would be nice.

 

i would go with some 15's cause thats what i have

 

From what I've seen, they don't have the 16" size in all the colors....namely bronze.

 

ya from what it seems the 16's are flying off the shelves, i think most would have bought the 16'2 if they had a choice...

 

uh.. no, they dont wieght the same. the 16' are heavier.

 

Try this site, I got my 15s from them $438 with shipping from Cali to Florida!!

how much do the 16" weigh???

 

well the 15's weight 12lbs so im guessing the 16's weight 13-14lbs...

 

Why stress, just get the 16"! If you looking for looks and performance wise, than just stick w/ the 16"!!!!!

Go to the search button and check out the tech questions about 15" vs 16" rims!

That should help you!

 

15s are 12lbs
16s are 14lbs

And don't listen to Todd00 he's just a plain hater of Rota.

 

My girlfriend has 16" black slips on her '02 civic and they look a lot bigger than the 15's. Depending on what look u want will probably depend on what size u get. I'll get some pics if u want, just email me.

captianjdm<--- u have IM

 

16" spoons!

 

Spoons are great...w/out those we wouldn't have the slipstreams...but price wise i would go for the 15 inch rotas...slap some thicker tires and you could perform better w/ those than the 16" slips...then again save a little more and get some Regamaster EVOs...

 

15 inches w/Bridgestone S-03's.

 

Too bad you put Parardas on them. Live and learn I guess.
