I am getting ready to buy some slipstreams. I dont want to do it. can anyone think of a light weight rim in 16x7 4x100 . i looked at the buddy club p1 sf-almost 16lbs.-is that right? i guess the problem is not weight, but money. almost left out the most important-close to 600.00 shipped is all i have .

 

I have some sand blasted 15x7 slips with toyo RA-1's you can have for that the rims are 11.5ish apiece

 

what do you mean "have"?

 

What is wrong with Slipstreams? They're cheap, lightweight, and durable. Perfect wheel for competition.

He said you can have them for $600 shipped.

Although I don't know if you'll find anything better than the Slipstreams for $600 shipped.

 

Have you checked out this site?

They offer free shipping. Price for 16 x 7 +40mm 4 x 100 is $125 each.
I bought a set from them two years ago, and I was completely satisfied.

 

jlb motorsports has great deals on rotas.

there's also the 5zigen FN01RC...

The 15x7" Slips are 13lbs, not 11.5... the 15x6.5" Slips are heavier than 11.5. But nice wheel/tire combo, I run that same setup myself. Pics of sandblasting? They only had bronze when I ordered, which I like on my C8s for the street but not on the Slips.

Original poster: do you only want 16"s?

 

i gave up on the 16" thing. it took me awhile to realize it. i saw the 15x7 slips in dustins add(jlb). my question now is in the other thread; unless someone comes up with a compelling reason to still go 16x7 instead of 15x7or 15x6.5(that is the dilema now).

 

Kosei K1s are always a good choice... on clearance at Tire Rack right now for $109/ea. I'm happy with my Slips, but I wish I had gotten the Koseis just because I like the look a little bit better and they are otherwise pretty much the same.

Falken Hanabis are also a great choice, 11lbs and look in that thread and you'll find them on sale for $89/ea!

Nello - I would stick with 15" wheels. Cheaper and the tire selection is better. Hankook will be releasing a 225/45-15 version of the RS2 which should prove to be a good choice for street tire autocross classes.

On a completely unrelated subject, IMHO 15" looks better on a Del Sol.

Now, there's some good news. Maybe I can finally sell my 16x7 Spoons, then. I'd been hanging onto them only to get some 215-section rubber on the ground on those rare occasions my DC2 ITR is driven on the street.

 

thanks guys. thanks clayton. i decided to go with the 15x7 hanabi in silver(h-t member verified the 11 lbs. and leo at edgeracing says he weighed one for me&lt;"a little over 11 lbs.") cant beat that weight for 89.00. i cant picture them in my head on the car though. OT- clayton-everyone always comments on the radiator overflow you guys made me. thanks again for that on- the- fly- fabrication -to -specs.

Sweet, thanks for the pic. Looks good, and you probably saved like 1/4 lb each!!

 

Enkei RPF1 are real nice and not expensive. You can find them at the link below.
