ok so the rota slipstreams are replicas of the spoon sw388's [sp?]
i'm wondering if they are any rims that look like these... they don't even need to be replicas. just look similiar
here's some pics



also if you know what this paint finish is called let me know.

thanks.

 

is it because they're too expensive or what? i dont think anyone makes repicas of those..but ill let you know if i see some

 

There are no copies of those rims becuase they are fairly rare and not too likely to be seen on too many Hondas. Rota and Tenzo make copies of what are the most popular wheels, the GT-P's aren't really popular enough to warrant a copy, although I think that they are bad ***. I can also see how they are slightly too intricate to warrant a copy as well, it might cost Rota or Tenzo too much to reproduce them.

 

there are copies of this wheel....

 

the finish is called polished aluminum

 

R-1 makes copies of those wheels

 

they got 5 spokes??? <--- velox



that's the closest i've ever found to that "style"

 

I think ALT makes one too.

 

Whether you go with Volk or Velox on this wheel, you are still going to get some heavy *** wheels.

 

here you go...its the 3rd wheel down

i believe the finish on the rim is called Diamond Cut or something

 

here's another view

you get a cookie

Yep those R-1 Wannabe's are not multipiece either..

 

yea because the volks are too expensive.
what do u mean by multipiece... do u mean the volk rim is actually more than one piece?

Yes. The volk one is a 2- or 3-piece wheel.

 

what are the pro's/con's of multipiece rims? [stronger?]
i assume they are multipiece for a good reason and cost $$$$$$
