This is exactly my biggest issue right now. If Im not going to track the car, is it worth the extra 4k to get Spoon wheels when they are the exact same spec, I think I may end up buying some Rota's to cruise around town in and if they suck I will at least have tires for different wheels.
I’m in the same boat!!! I’m actually going to order the Slipstream in satin black along with 275/35/18 V730.

I would love to see some pics when you get them installed!!

Let me know where you order them also, seems like there are Chinese knock off of Rota's running around which is wild.

Will do, it’s on eBay, most likely with wheel bay or speed image. You can always negotiate with them and have them send you an offer. 1k ain’t bad for the specs. I know with a little more $$ you can get others but it’s not what I want. Just for rollers anyways. Not doing time attack or anything lol.

Yea I was curious about the center cap. I thought I read online you can possibly reuse the factory center caps. I cant seem to find the measurement anywhere for the center cap.

The photo is one of the forum member with the exact spec ROTA 18x9.5 + 40 on 275/35 conti. Looks pretty good to me. I believed he uses the OEM center caps. I might be wrong.

Kind of funny when I constantly here inexpensive wheels get picked on for quality. I work at a dealership, and we sell a lot of no name cast alloy winter wheels, and how many have cracked or broken? None..

If you are going for the look, and not overly worried about the name or weight... Rock the Slipstreams.

Decisions? lol

Is that from WheelBay with the satin back and magnesium black color differences?

The satin black is just to hard to say no to. the magnesium black would look good on a CW or BB car probably.

Yup and yup lol I think satin it is. Btw, oem center cap fits but I think I’ll just keep it clear or get some extra ones.
