So you think the 16" Rotas will be good even though they weigh 14.5?

Yes, the 15" are 6.5".

15x6.5 Rota = 12 pounds
16x7 Rota = 14.5 pounds ------->what are those in KGS?

15x6.5 Spoon = 8.5 pounds
16x7 Spoon = 11.9 pounds

Rotas are a great buy.

Will the 215's fit fine under a G# integra? I was scared to buy the 215's because I knew they ran wide. Anybody with 215's Azenis have any issues? I am also tossing up the 15" slipstreams versus the 16" slipstreams. Thank you
Aaron

i was debating to get 15's or 16's a few months ago and I ended up getting 16's instead just because I like the way they look on the car better then the 15's. With the 16's you wont throw your speedo off by a lot and you will not feel a lag in acceleration. Also, the rim is still light for a 16

I don't know much about tire wear when racing so I had a quesiton? What is "bluing"? Also, I wanted to say G3 integra but it came out "G# integra". Sorry about the bad spelling. I really want to get some good opinions about the 15's vs the 16's and the tire sizing before I spend the money. Thanks for all the good help.
Aaron

Oh yea, what is the offset for the 16" slipstream wheel? And the 15"? What offset do you recomend.

for those who wonder about the weight ck my sig
also I would recommend getting a 16x7 for the one reason of having a larger tire and a cheap rim (Rota)

Beside the looks are great and the endless tire options...

is this for a track wheel? 15x6.5 is enough for even 225 tires. I've mounted 225's on both 6.5 and 7" wheels and both are fine.

Do you have pictures of your car with the wheels? I would like to see what they look like. I have pictures of 15's but no 16's.

George
What are the offsets of your spoons as compared the JDM 16*7? I really am trying to do some research before I buy these wheels. I don't want to buy them and have them rub bad. Thanks for all the good feedback
