what size should i get for the slipstreams to fit the S2k. I'm looking to get 16s. also does anyone know where to get a good deal on them?

 

they don't come in the proper s2k staggered sizes

 

Forget slips, go with SW388s.

actually, i believe they do now... let me double check..

 

16x7 +45, +48
16x8 +48

 

^^ and those would fit fine ... .... get it mah nizzi LMAO

 

are you sure the bolt pattern is correct on the 16x8s.. cuz i thought they come in 5x100 only. I would get the SW388s but are too hard to find

 

yep i'm pretty sure... i believe they are special order tho..

It's funny how all S2000 wheels on Gruppe-S is 5x100, except the Works.

it's cause they got to lazy to change them when they copied and pasted it from the wrx site... lol

 

That's exactly it. I clicked on S2000 wheels and got Subaru pages.

Yep, I've been waiting since 6-05 on the 16x8s.......

 

please... DONT EVER PUT SLIPSTREAMS ON AN S2000!

if you can't buy quality parts for your S2K, you shouldn't have one

 

My car wash soap is more expensive than my own soap.

I know Rota is known to expoit some coveted styles, but what quality issues are they having (since they re-org'd 4years ago)?

Who gives a crap? I'd rather spend the $2000 I'd save by going with Rota's and get some good track time, or a hardtop, or new tires, or many other things. YOU can put SW's on, if you get an S2k. Have fun forking out $500 everytime you bend a rim.

Preach on brotha!!!!!!!!!!!

Track time &gt; Expensive JDM wheels

 

I'd rather have a bent rim that can be fixed then my car flipping over because my rim broke into a million peices.

Rota and track wheels shouldnt be in the same sentence. You get what you pay for.

 

They're too cool to beat on stock wheels. $500 Rotas &lt; a set of tires for driftday.

You think a couple incidents posted on the internet projects what all Rota owners have or will experience with their wheels? I've read about 4-5 cases of Volks cracking from track abuse. Did those people get what they paid for? Should people not buy Volks because of that? I've owned a set of Rotas and have run over plenty of pot holes to know they're pretty strong. Many ITR owners track Rotas with no problems at all. Feel free to search, I guarantee you will not find one thread about them cracking. If I still had my ITR, I'd definately be rocking a set of 15x7 SS's.

BTW, most of the time, a car won't flip because of a cracked rim. If you've experienced or read otherwise, please share.

1. Stock S2000 wheels &gt; Slipstreams

3. I actually pay attention to the road and don't hit potholes. I have never had to replace a wheel ever, let alone for bending it.

1. Stock wheels are better than 16x7 and 16x8 wheels. Hm. Can you explain why?

2. See my post above.

3. I'm glad you live in a pot hole free city, but where I live sucks. But this thread isn't about attentive driving--it was about the integrity of these supposed "cheap-o non-s2k worthy" wheels. Regardless, it's withstood the test of multiple pot holes, so I'm not sure where you're going with that.

Anyway, have you ever bought any Rota rims and regularly beat on them for an extended period of time? Is the price tag the only reason you despise these wheels? I bet if they're selling for $4000, you'd be drooling over them, right? Heaven forbid a manufactorer makes cheap, light set of wheels that we can abuse without the worries of a $500 repair tag.

I still want to know why certain products are considered almost commiting treason when it's put on an S2k. The S2k is a $30,000 car. It's NOT an exotic by any means. You can even pick one up for $14,000. That's less than a brand new Civic. Yeah, it's a special car, but it's no Enzo.
