Icon2 Rota Slipstreams VS Maxxim Air Wheels? What is the difference?

I was wondering if anyone knows the difference between the Rota Slipstreams and the Maxxim Air wheels? I believe Maxxim is by Konig. I want them Polished and the Maxxim has the slipstream style for quite cheaper. Does anyone know if they are heavier or lighter. Are they pretty much the same design? etc etc... Also I have J-mags on my car which are 15x6. The Maxxim are 15x6.5... Will my tire still fit on them or no? I have 195/50/15's... Thanks again Honda-Tech..


Oh and if anyone has a picture of a Crx on polished slipstreams, Please post! Thanks!

The tires should fit with no problem.

As for which of the two, it doesn't seem like it would really matter. I guess it just boils down to preference as to what you like and how much you're willing to spend for the wheels.

If weight is a major concern for you, then I would just go with the Rotas. Not really sure about the weight of the Maxxims and there doesn't seem to be a lot of buzz going around for those wheels.

Yeah I haven't heard too much about those wheels either. They just have them in the Machined finish for cheaper than the slipstreams. I know you get what you pay for... $380 Shipped for the Maxxims do not seem like a bad deal though...
