what does everyone think about 17" slips on my DC2..they are gunmetal and the kid only wants $500 for em...have 3000 miles on em...not a scratch at all...too big or no?

i wanted 16's....but these are a good deal!

 

buy them, and sell them for a lil bit more.. then get some 15/16 slips, and slap some good rubber on them with some of the money u save.. just an idea

 

ive seen a few sets of 17 inch slipstreams, they just dont look "right" plus you could pick up a set of brand new 15s for about 400ish, and 16s for 450ish

But you also have to remember, that is w/o tires....I would buy them if you have money to spend. my .02

 

yes i know, but brand spanking new tires wouldnt be more than 250, plus 15 inch tires are cheaper to replace than 17 inch ones

 

They aren't Rota's if theyre 17s. the quality is probably poor.

 

 

Many tests have shown that 17's actually provide quicker lap times around tracks when compared to similar 16 and 15" wheels. You may not be tracking this car, but you get the idea. So....I'd say ****** them up if they have some nice rubber on them.

Battle is available in 18x7.5
GR A is as well along with Subzeros too. I'm an authorized Rota dealer and my current inventory list shows this

ok fine, let me requote myself...

ROTA never released any Slipstreams in 17s... wait did they?

 

slipstream 15-16
attack 15-17
battle 15-18
c8 15-16
c10 15-16
downshift 17
grid 15-16
groupn 15
sdr 17
subzero 15-18
tarmac 17

 

i'd go 16.

 

what kinda tires , that makes a big diff , i think 16s arent worth less because i cant get falken azenis in there without rubbing

 

be different try it

 

dont do it. if you want 17s get a different wheel

 

are u talking about this rim ... looks like spoon/rota in 17's



they are going for $99 a wheel ... $750 with tires
