Rota Slipstreams, 16x8 +48 - 245/45R16

[Dustin]

More than likely when the snow is gone, I am thinking of going with this setup for my new tires. These are 13lb wheels, 11lbs lighter than stock Anyway, my first set of tires are going to be stock size, when those are worn out I'll have enough feedback from the car to decide whether or not I want to upgrade the tire size or not... if I do, 245/45R16 is available and will fit perfectly

From my calculations, 16x8 +48 should fit perfectly over 16x7 +37 of stock.. extending only a few mm outwards and 24mm towards the struts, which has a ton of clearance

Just wanted to see if anyone else has tried something similar...

Good point

These are them. I'm more than likely going to get white. Or bronze.

The car is white

I genuinely like them. What's the price per wheel and where are you buying from?

lmao! what can i say...

Rotas do come in a 5-lug pattern - I've had a set of Rota SubZero's for a couple of years.

They are around $125 per wheel I believe, and I'll have to find out where my friend bought his from, I think he ordered his from a place in Cali

You know they make 17x8's now.....

 

[Stanzaspeed]

Yes I know. I contacted ROTA on this topic not to long ago and they said they COULD do that in the future but no word as of yet if they plan on making staggard fitment wheel sizes ( would make costs soar!).

I would say for winter tires and such, the rota's would be a great wheel for winter time and snow....but are WAY too thin width wise to even get a nice meaty tire on there!

too bad. i think they are a nice looking wheel and in a wide size and a nice offset with a good lip id be all over em. id almost prefer an 18 but 17's are cool. you should poke em with a stick more and get em moving :biglaugh:
also why would you need winter tires for a supra? lol! id be to scared to drive mine in the winter.

my friend drover his 87 out of necessity for a while and ended up hitting black ice and sliding into a fire hydrant. :aigo:

i know id cry if yours got bumped even jon, you have a to clean of a car for it to ever see snow!:love:

all i see is a red x :icon_frow

and 18x8.5 is too narrow for me. maby for fronts but thats about it.

I almost won a set of Desmond REGAMASTER EVO white wheels for the supra/300zx offset and sizing...17x9-17x10.5 is what they were.

For all you guys that DO NOT know who REGAMASTER are the REAL Rota slipstreams ( rota obviously is a knock off company...but makes GREAT knock offs):

ive always loved those wheels. never really thought of the slipstreams as a knock off. guess i never looked at em both and compared them. where did you find a set of those hotties jon? i will get my hands on a pair! :evil2:

edit: also could you pm me the offsets if you know them? that is pretty much what i want for my next supra so i need to use some ninja skills and dig a piar up and i want to know what to get!

Stanza,

They were on ebay like 1/2 a year ago. Jarco had them. They went for around $500 !!! EACH WHEEL new is around $450!!!!!!!!!!!!

They were white with the red labeling on them like these on this integra:

PS: I am still wanting to find a daily driver and make it look like that integra...that is my all time favorite integra!!!!!!!!!
