How bad are Rota Slipstreams?

[Evox787]

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.

Hey man, they look clean regardless. Sure, they aren’t Spoon, but why pay 50k for something that you will be hitting kerbs and all that on track? Are you sponsored by someone that can justify the spending on it? Again, if you have the money and the patience, more power to the people that do it, but people spending that money rarely will be going to a track. It is just bragging rights and ego trips.

Yeah, I got a good deal on these rims and tires used. And like you said, one little nail in the road that causes a blowout and there’s a $1,000+ rim vs $200 lol

What tires did you do?

I bought them from a local, used.

Michelin Pilot Sports with maybe a couple thousand miles, Spoon caps, hub rings and rims for $1,350 and he delivered them to

me. I couldn’t resist.

I think this is the money shot

This is really making me want to bite the bullet and buy a set of Slipstreams.

Not too bad..

I left my center caps. Tempted to put Spoon ones, but I rather not have someone try and steal them. LOL

Perhaps just put "H" Honda ones. But don't know the center cap size.
