Default Rota Slipstream

What is your guy's take on these rims. Anything bad or good. I am thinking about buying them and just want to hear any info on them. Anybody got these?

x2. Also how much did you guy's pay for them? I am thinking about getting the black or flat gunmetal or flat black ones. I am more interested in the flat black ones though. What would look better on my frost white civic hatch? I know your not suppost to ask those types of questions but I am kinda stuck to as what looks better. I did not know they are that popular. Thanks for the reply's guy's.

I had those on my old car. They were a good deal and they looked good ( at least I thought they did ). You cant curb em tho cuz they'll definitely crack.

I'm guessing those for 388 were used...

BEST price new (better than wheeldude, machIII, jhp) = JLB Motorsports
And guess what, if you went to the sponsors forum you would have found them haha

I have has the SS on my ITR for three years and they have been great...

Just recently when I changed tires I noticed that three of them are bent. I do not blame the wheels for it, It's 99% chance that it is NYC roads fault.

I plan on getting another set of Rotas in the future.

I'm actually about to purchase (from JLB motorsports) the SS for my 05 rsx-s.

Anyone know of a site that offers a good pkg deal for the wheels +tires?

JLB has just the rims, at a fair price, but i was hoping to find something slightly better and w/tires.
