Default Rota Slipstream (polish and SG difference)

Interested in getting either the fully polished rota slipstreams or the Steel gray with polished lip for my white Teg; however, would like to see pictures.

I seen Machiii.net already and the famous all rim shot from their so plz post 'actual pics'.

And for those who already have the fully polished... do they look good up closeor only at a distance? I mean does it look cheaply built like just metal wraped with aluminum foil or chrome or is it like the GSR Blades OEM finish?

As for the steel gray, is it like gunmetal but lighter or silver?

Please post pics! prefer 16" sized already since thats what size I plan to get and if you got a white teg! even better!

Thanks

I guess the full polished or steel gray with polished lip isn't popular at all... for those who have pics or has them, may you plz post some

B18C1wes,

your pics aren't working.

EG, you bought them like that?
Its nice... kinda more like a gunmetal color at a lightershade. it the spokes glossy or is it basically a silver color 'only'?

anymore? Perhaps when your rolling or a video?
Like to see what its like when its on the go 'pic/vid or both ^_^'

b18c1wes - nice DIY polish.
How or what did you do? just sandpaper, hand and a load of timely patience? if so... nice job dude!

Got any close ups? new pics?

Also EG, yea I wait for pics and vids... plz post some

Gunmetal was considered but to my friend thinks the slips's gunmetal are too dark and if dirty... its like steelies (same effect as black slips).
