Default Are Slipstreams really that played out?

Are they as played out as everyone makes them to be? I don't know about you guys, but I live in NY and I've only seen them TWICE, evAr!

Are they really that played in your area, or just on H-T?

I was actually considering a set, just because I never see them in real life around here...

They seem 'played out' on this board because most everyone here likes pretty much the same style.... I've only seen them a couple times in real life.... they aren't my favorite rims, but they look pretty good, and I wouldn't let the fact that people say they are 'played out' sway my decision either way...

they're played out with the JDM crowd, but i *rarely* see anyone with slips around my area.

They were on every other car around here for a long time, but seemed to have died down a little bit.

No, this guy's poor car was stolen and thieves had a field day with it. They wrecked it on purpose.

You expect mugen or spoon wheels to make it through a crash like that? if u do your living in a fantasy land. even the brake rotor didn't make it out of that crash.

yeah, i see them all over the net, but in the real world, i've only seen like 2 sets. I still don't think they're that great of a rim, though, style-wise, I mean. so yeah, I'm not a real big fan of Spoons, either.
