How bad are Rota Slipstreams?

[gotham]

Picked up a set of Satin Black Rota Slipstreams in 18x9.5 +40mm. Zero fucks given as these will be my daily wheels.

I was not about to drop $4900 for a set of real 18x9.5" Spoon SW388 wheels and worry about them getting damaged in anyway.

Very nice. Im really close to doing the same. No way Im dropping 5k on wheels for a car that is just a fun driver around town lol.

please keep us posted on the quality etc. I am very curious!

Shit if they make them in 19 I buy a set too and don’t try to figure out what tire shop will mess my wheels up because they are a 3k to 5k wheel to get scratched by some idiot high on weed trying to put the tires on.

@gotham No I have not. I've had other priorities in life come first. Probably next month.

@gotham Getting tires on the wheels this Friday and I'll get them on the car.

Forgot to mention, I'm going with Bridgestone Potenza RE980 A/S Plus 265/35R18.

I was a huge fan of the RE730's from the early 2000's when I had my EM1 Civic Si, and the RE980 are the generational successors.

@gotham

Haven't had time to clean the tires or the car. It's been raining fairly regularly. Glad I don't need spacers because I think this offset looks nice. Now...time decided on springs. Probably going with Spoon.

Those look really good! I wanted to get them for my winter setup, but couldn't bc of the wait between those and winter tires to fit the 9.5 width wheel.

Are you sure your shipping blocks were removed?

It's so weird. Some cars look lowered on factory springs.

Edit: Ah I see you have 35 profile and im on 40.

 

[gotham]

@MC BumSlap nice! Looks good. That offset is solid. Not too far out but definitely flush.

Thanks!

The fronts BARELY clear the calipers. Like crazy close.

On H&R Springs now. Glad I went this route.

 

[gotham]

It looks really good man!

I picked up a set of Rota’s last week also. However, they now identify as Spoon since they have Spoon caps.

I will be taking them to the Sebring Raceway in March to see how they hold up on the track.
