Just went to their site again. They seems to have an option now for 16"??

Am I missing something here?

why get lightweight wheels for the street and use your 'heavy' stock rims for racing?? Put the hoosiers on the lightweights rims.

 

I thought the Rota's were like only 0.3 lbs heavier than the Spoons. I think someone posted that the other day. By the way, how much do the stock rims weigh? And do the 16s perform better or are people just happy cause it'll look better with a little bit bigger rim?

 

hmmmm..your right the "option" does appear for the 16" Slipstream's!!

somthing is fishy here ( stinks bad! )

Im going to give Walee@MachIII a call tomm.!!!!!!

Hmmm.. if 16" or in............my $$$ will be in/ or just charge it!!

 

no Rota's in 15 weigh 12lbs, compared to spoon's 8...hardly close in comparison...better than stock yes....but that's about it...

most people don't buy spoon wheels b/c of the way they look, I just don't understand why all of a sudden everyone loves these wheels....

people buy spoon wheels b/c of their weight, and Rota didn't copy that....
maybe it's just me though.....

 

Somebody go ahead and buy them, and weigh them for the board

 

if the 15's are twelve ****** pounds then the 16's should be at least 18 pounds not mistaken that plus the added 15-20 pounds of the tires you put on the rim.



I would rather stick with the a and j racing group buy for the 16x7 sw388's

 

yeah, especially considering there are so many other options available in the affordable 12lbs wheel market

 

I thought it was because the rotas are nearly a 1/4 the cost of the spoon wheels. And most people I know including myself like the look of the spoon wheels. Too bad I can't even get close to affording the real deal, and I'm not a fan of knockoff rims...

 

doesn't the stock wheel weigh 13lbs

 

Yeah, keep us posted

 

they are either 15 or 16 pds. I can't remember which.

 

I just spoke with Cosmic Marketing Corp. (Rota's U.S. distributor) yesterday and they said the 16" Slipstream will be out early <U>next</U> year for the U.S. The weight is 16 lbs.

Just as a comparison the 17" Rota Sub-Zero also weighs 16 lbs, the 16" Kosei K1 Racing weighs 15.5 lbs., and the 16" Enkei RPO1 weighs 15.7 lbs.

What? They are. See.

 

I personally would rather spend the money on some TE-37's that look basically the same and are a much better wheel.

 

Oh, t00tsie
