Default Slips or blades??

2k Milano Red GSR... 2 of my blades r hit... I'm not looking to spend a lot of $$$
Replace 2 blades or just slap some black slips on for about the same price??
Car is dropped with a CF hood....

They are both a bit played out IMO. If you are looking into rotas, why not pick something other than slips? Auto-Xs or Circuit 8s (or 10s) would be nice on your integra. If I had to pick between slips or blades though, I would pick some Polished blades

Are the blades bent or just scraped up?

This wheel was scraped up a bit and I polished it out.

i saw some polished slips on a white acura, pretty nice. integras look better with a 16" wheel. i used to have a 2000 green gsr myself. you could do the drag gabsport copy (rota gt3)

The previous owner mashed the 2 fronts pretty bad... Actually took chunks out of the lip... They need to be replaced... And I've been trying for a while... But finding 2 blades has been a bi*ch to say the least... And 2 blades almost cost as much as 4 slips....

Has anyone seen the OEM replica blades??? R they identical??

Slips = nice offset - light - cheap... Easy to get..
It's really no secret there played....


I'm not looking to have the hottest newest ish out there... Just a simple and clean solution... That doesn't cost a lot of $$$....

I say go for the slips then, this way you get lighter wheels(~13 lbs per wheel), and two spare blades (~17 lbs per wheel) on top.

I say go with the slips, as you'll actually be buying a performance wheel (albeit a rota, but who gives a ****), and it'll be go well with your color scheme. Go for the cheap performance that is offered by buying the rotas.

Im sort of in the same position as you. But i say go with the slips bc they are very light, and they look good, so what if they are played out. Just save up for some better rims later on.
