How many of you guys have Slipstreams on your ITR?I can't decide what wheels to get I'm thinking about the slips,but I wanted to know everybody's pro's and cons about them.

 

cheap, light. I can care less if i screw one up because they are so reasonable and readily available. They are a light cast whel and have a greater chance of being damaged than a forged wheel, but overal they get a from me

 

i had them on my old R.. looking for a set for the new one..

PROs - light, cheap, pretty strong, multiple colors available..

CONs - no 15x7 for the ITR, get knocked on by the spoon/desmond guys sometimes..

 

i got 'em, i like them...they are really light

 

I need a set of 16's to clear my brakes.I also liked them because they are cheap,so I could buy a fifth wheel in case of a flat tire.So you guys think I should get them?

 

I loved mine. The only "con" was that the offset wasn't 100% ideal IMO (think it could have been slightly greater and still cleared the calipers).

What size did you have and what brakes are you running?

15x6.5 and stock ITR brakes.

 

get some locking lugs for it too.

i have a set on my integra (not an R). flat black. never washed them either. and if they start looking ugly, the autozone here i come for some flat black spray paint.

 

I have my stock locking lugs.

Those will not work, you need ones with a tapered seat.

Oh ok

 

if you are familiar with the raleigh area. discount tires down wake forrest rd. near the beltline has them. and may even be free if you ask the right guy. talkin bout the lugnuts here. they are gorilla splinedrive nuts

 

ok cool

 

I have them for close to a year and I like they look, they fit a 205 tire very nice and they are lighter then most rims in the price range.

As for strength, I have hit I think every pothole, ditch, crater, curb, metal pate, rised manhole cover, speed bump, and many other things and yet they are still true and in fine working order.

Oh and autozone has tapered lug nuts for the wheels at .79 each- they work fine!

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they start making 15x7s that will fit the ITR?

There was a big deal made out of it in the RR/AX forum for a while.

Mr. Rapaport, They never made 15x7's in 5-Rug.

 

i have slipsteams on my R and i def give them a

 

ITRChris has them and they look hellatight

 

I think I might try to go ahead and get some this week.I'm getting the 16's so would a 215/45/ be a good tire size?

 

has slips on for track duties


Pro: great lightwight wheel for the price

 

I got some at the start of summer from a firend and after 15xxx miles, 19 track events, and 3 sets of tire there still round (not bent or cracked). Also if you have driven around in Detroit, you spend most of your time avoiding pot holes.

 

They are a good wheel, for what you pay for them, I recomend a power coat job, to give them that "true look".

 

I've had mine for about 2 and half years and 30,000+miles. AutoX and a few road racing events and street use, still strong and perfect.

 

I have them, and after a full auto-x season, plenty of wheel hop @ the 1/4 mile, they're still in 100% perfect condition....
