Hey Guys, Ive decided to get 15 inch Rota Slipstreams, but i have some questions.

First off I know all about the 15 vs 16 inch debate but im concerened about potholes (I live in NYC) and i really dont want to bend/break a rim which is why i think going with a 15 inch is the better bet. If i do 15 inch i'll do a 50 series tire, if i did 16 id go with a 45 series and i think that might lead to damage if i hit a pot hole fast enough. ( I know you can damage a rim no matter what but you know what i mean)

Question 2. I dont know where is a good reputable place to purchase them from. I emailed rota a while ago and i was told i can get them in the color combo i want (Royal Black w/ Polished Lip) although no one has pics of the set up. I need a good place i can trust. Any Ideas?

 

rotas are best bought from:
www.machiii.net
www.jaydm.com
www.imotiv8.net

I think that if a pothole (thanks goverment for doing nothing with tax money) is bad enough to damage a 16" it'll damage a 15" wheel as well. Just my opinion. Good luck!

 

Cashis EG8 is a HAN vendor for rotas. I got mine from him a while back and it was by far the best deal around.

Oh wait it appears he is no longer in the biz. hmmmm. modacar.com had decent packages if i remeber correctly.

 

Ok as ive been looking around i noticed i missed one crucial question. Offset! Im not sure which offset to get?

 

I'm in the same boat as you. Trying to figure out what offset I need for my 2000 civic coupe! I don't want to pick the wrong size cause I have to mail order them!

 

This is where I bought my my wheels. 16X7 Rota Slipstreams with a 40mm offset -they fit perfectly on a civic and integra, i tried them on my cars to see which car looked better with them on. Stock 15" wheel offset on integras is 45mm-fyi.

that place seems pretty good. i wonder if theyd go a bit lower since I am local and would pick the wheels up...

 

If you need tires as well, www.machiii.net has free mounting, balancing and shipping with the combo of wheels and tires. I've got my eye on some 15x6.5 black slips and 195/50/15 Toyo Proxes 4 for $740 to my door. One of the best deals I've found so far. They carry Falken and Yokohama tires as well for different prices.
