Default Rota Slipstreams VS Rota Attacks "Spoon Knocks VS Gram Light Knocks"

Which one would you guys rather have??

I'm deciding between the two. Being on a low budget I can't afford the real deal. So I'm going for the next best thing.

Sorry, no pictures. But i'm sure you guys know what they look like. But if you have the pictures go ahead and post them too. Thanks

I would go with the fake grams. Dude there is no shame rocking fake wheels, if the real deals arent in the budget fug it. Put the extra cash somewhere else

agreed. the 500-600 dollars you save when buying knockoff wheels can go to much better things. although its always nice to own the real deal.

IMO Gram Lights aren't all that ayways because they too are not even fully forged. I think they are a cast wheel just like the "fake" ones so really what's the difference besides the name?

I can't call it between the Slips and Attacks though. My favorite Rotas are the Circuit 8 and Circuit 10.

Your car, you're writing the check, so I think you should pick. Find some pictures of both on your car in the appearance forum.

Ya i know its my car so I'll make the final decision. But I like to get an idea what other people think about it plus one day you might see my ride on the road. So the decision could affect you too. You could be like eww...Or you could be like TITE!! HAHA.

Thanks for the opinion...

All Rotas are played out. Who cares? It's a great wheel for the money and everybody recognizes that.

Ya I wish the Attacks came in 16" also. That is what i'm looking for. But i will settle for 15". Anything is better then my 15" SI's that i have on there now. I see so many of them on the road. It's time for a change...

I still don't have a definate choice yet. In my head i'm thinking &lt;(O_o)&gt; 16" slipstreams or 15" Attacks. I just think 16's would be so perfect...errrgh. decisions, decisions....

Slipstreams were my third or fourth choice, but they're on my car now cuz I contacted Mike Rojas and he said that they're the lightest available from Rota. The difference isn't enough to base your decision on, but for me, it made more sense than a coin toss. If I was a serious racer, I would have got 14inch. Got them off of ebay shipped for $400. The UPS man wouldn't shut up about how they were the lightest rims he's ever delivered.

Man, picking the style is the easy part. Picking the color is where you should be wasting your effort. I went with Bronze on a dark blue hatch, but gunmetal or black would have been nice too.

I have a dark blue hatch too. So i think the bronze will look mighty nice. I'm not to into that flat black look to much but I do have to say i've seen some real nice ones.

Wow, the poll is tide at the moment. I'm still leaning towards the attacks in bronze...

Thanks guys for your votes

I think either would be nice, but I would definitley go with bronze or gunmetal for your blue hatch. Good luck and make sure to post some pics when you get the wheels on!
