Rota Slipstreams

by **PEITRUS** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 1:31 pm

thinking of getting myself a set of bronze rota slipstreams 16x7 40mm offset. i havent seen anyone on SG with slipstreams, so i need some input on this. and for tires im thinking 215/50 or 45/R16.

some rota distributors:

I was gonna get a set of Rota Slipstreams in bronze. Haven't seen it on a Solara neither, thats why I was gonna get them.

Depending on the color of your ryde, I say get em.

My Cousin had these on his integra back in the day. Very light wheels. Its good if you plan on tracking your car.

go with at least 18" please. solara is too big for 16" wheels

16" is fine if your racing it or going for a look other than show. Im currently waiting to get some tires for my bronze adrs (17" intense) and my car is black, I cant wait to see how they will look. Not many people get bronze wheels, the trend is grey or black so be a little more original and stick with bronze like you said, i think it would look great.

If you go with 16's, those tire sizes you listed are a little small. 225/55/16 will match the diameter of the stock wheel and tire.
The 215/45 size will probably not look very good because you'll have a small wheel and a lot of gap. The speedo will be a bit off, too.

I would get them if your going for racing, if not get something a bit more stylish. What color is your car? I think the bronze only looks good on white or black cars.

hey thanks for the quick replies. i agree 225/55 seems like a better size to fill in the wheel gap. and i dont think slipstreams come in 18 inches. also, my car is black so i think that bronze will give it a different look other than black on black.

heres a little chop i did a while ago. and am still taking it into consideration. but does it look like 16 inches?

by **cdssolara** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 6:22 pm

No, that looks like at least 17, and maybe 18.

i would shoot for the 17's, allows some room for a big brake kit later on...

I would go for 17's also. I wanted to get the slips also, but weenies i know keep telling me its a honda/acura thing.

well, if you're trying to salvge performance, don't go bigger than 17... I wouldn't even go 17 if I were you.

I like the bronze... it'll set your solara apart from the others.

Trust me, on wheels liek that 16" is going to look liek crap, I'm trying to fidn a picture of a car on here where the guy had 17" that looked kinda like those rims and they still looked pretty bad. I say no go on those.

You have my blessing to get bronze since your car is black. I think it will look good. As far as 16's or 17's its up to you. If your taking your car to track days go with 16's. If you want looks go with 17's.
