Good looking rims. I soooo need to get some... Im tired of my stock 13 inch steelies

They look nice, kind of like Motegi MR7s but with 8 instead of 7 spokes.

And Kumho Tires are

I just got my rims on yesterday so I know how it feels to have to wait, but it's worth it!

At least you have the DX steelies which look decent without hubcaps. I was thinking of painting mine DX grey but the center caps are expensive.

hey guys i was thinking bout getting some rota's cause there so light but with the 15's weighing like 12pounds is that even safe? i know there knock offs so the qaulity cant be as good as the original company ment them to be? so i makes me think that it's some light alloy they just threw toghter to look like the real thing what do u guys think

After having some chrome 14 inch rims with a crappy offset that wouldnt fit when i lowered it, and having to change back to your 13 inch steelies you would be tired of your stocks

way to go

i know somebody wants to buy my stocker DX hub caps

hahaha

I had some blue/white 15's for a while, but had to sell them when my car needed some tranny work. I dont like my stocks much either, but I think that DX steelies look way better than caps.

Rota Slipstreams are copies of Spoon SW388s. Spoons weigh 9lbs, 15'' Slips weigh 12lbs. Slipstreams meet JUL and VIA certification which is Japan's hardest to pass, and they are heavily used for SCCA Racing. So Rotas are probably better than stock rims.

Those rims are sweet.
can't wait to see them on your car

crxlvr · #14 07-02-2002, 03:05 PM

those are nice rims, but if you want light and big, go get some OZ Superleggra 17x7 are only 15.6lbs
