hey i dunno what happend to the pic thread... does any one have rota slipstreams on their 94-97 accord? if so post pics please and let me know what size they are and what suspension set up you have... thanx are these light? i want them because there not so flashy.. but how much do they wiegh?

 

Try searching for slips, or slipstreams in the App/Cos forum.

 

i wanted to see then on teh 5th gen and i know sum 1 had them i saw them in the accord pics... but the threads gone so im hopping they'll post their pics for me..

 

Here, i know they're bronze but you get the idea. Also, i have no idea why your front tire is huge.



EDIT: I lowered it some also. It was quick, so it isnt the best.

 

i just ordered a set of 15" gunmetal slips for my 5th gen, they should be here tuesday. i'll try and score some pics in the near future..

 

ugh those rims look hella nasty on an accord. too small. they belong on a civic but its your car and my opinion

 

I you wanna buy em for an accord, 17s are the way to go.

 

slips dont come in 17's.....

not to hijack, but speaking of rotas, anyone know seen the new rota on a 5th gen...formula D, i think they are called....

ive always loved the origonals of that wheel, and i wonder what it would look like in like a 17x7 on a 5th gen

 

i rember seeing an accord same color as mine it had a pinstrip.. it had nice black wheels on it and some fat tires... i just forgot wos it was i though it looked nice.. but i unno

slipstreams do come in 17s, u may be confusing it with the spoon sw388 sizes which come only in 14-16

 

Yea, http://www.jlbmotorsports.com/rims/rota-list.html

 

so you guys dont like the slipstreams&gt;? any suggestions on wheels all i want is somehting not to flashy and something that feels good.. maybe lighter... and something wide... what about the "grid" wheels

btw: thanks for the photochop... how did you do that? i have PS but i havent really touched the program (no time).. did you just cut my car out and add a layer on top to add the wheels? how did you lowwer it

I just found a wheel around the same angle, opened that and the pic of you car in PS and did the elliptical thing or whatever around the wheel and copied it to your car.

Kinda confusing haha.

Damn Drive-Bys

 

ok guys.. for now im deciding to start with suspension then move to the wheels later...
but for now my friend suggested just to paint the wheels for now... do you think it would be ok... this is my cheap job but i sux at PS... i'm not sure if i should pain them black or grey.. i heard that duplicolor stuff doesnt come in black? if i paint these do i need high temp paint? also my dad was saying something about wet sand.. do i need that or can i just use regualr sand paper.. i also heard about air craft paint remover.. is it needed ?

 

i painted by stock EX 12 spokes this weekend usisng duplicolor acrylic paint.

but i woudlnt use it again. i used 3 cans of paint.. and all 3 messed up on me by not spraying right/too much/too little or not at all.

but i did manage to get 3 coats of gloss black and 2 coats of clear coat. looks pretty damn sexy if ya ask me, which was suprising because i thought it would be ugly as sin.

since we all got off topic about the wheels, and your talkin about freshly painted ones i recently just did mine and if you take the time and effort they are worth the money

i took about 2 weeks in letting mine be finished from start, to curing, to mount, to touch up and heres the finished product





ill do a full write up if anyone wants it
