yes or no to these on my si - they are 17" rota slips flat black with a red lip

gay.

 

I had some slips on my 2000 black ex. they were gunmetal with a polished lip. they looked pretty good. but i didnt know that rota made the slipstream bigger than a 16 inch and i didnt think they made a 5 spoke either. heres a pic of my old car that may help.

but in my opinion...i dont think theyd look right on the new civic...??









Just thought id give you a few pics that may help you make a descision. even though its a different color wheel.

 

thanks

 

They look good but I have seen too many black rims around, its like seeing chrome 20's on the 100's of new Altimas around Phoenix. But the red lip on those rotas are a cool touch.

 

I was thinking about going with some 16's once i get my Si, but if i do they sure as hell are not going to be Rota's. Rota's are good rims for the EG-EK, but definitely not for a brand new 23k dollar car.

 

mugen knockoffs, but a pretty nice one. make sure you get them in all black though. runnin rotas on my suby and they are pretty good for the price. but i hear bad stuff about them performance wise, but thats what ive heard.

Slips are Spoon knockoffs, who outsourced the manufacture to Desmond, in Russia.

 

Do you like them? Yes? No? Personally, I think that is what is most important. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Personally, I don't think try look that hot. But then, I have been looking for wheel for my Black SI for nearly a year and I still can't find anything I REALLY like.

The ones that you posted are 5 spoke. Did you mean 5 lug?

oops yeah spoon, i always get those two companies mixed up for some reason. i was just looking at some mugens on the fit forum. but the civic has a such a unique body style i havents really seen a wheel that compliments it that well either.
those rota slipstreams give it that "im all about the performance" look to it though.
