Rota Wheels are feather lights... but i heard they break and bend really easy?

Most of the packages are around 450-600 dollars and are brand new!

The Rota Slipstream is a popular Solo2 and road racing rim. There are some other models that are apparently fragile, but the Slipstream is stout and, as mentioned, cheap.

18racing.com sells a 114.3 15x7 Slipstream for under $500 *shipped*, and for you losers running 4 on 108 :wink:, you can get a 15x7.5 for just a few bucks more. They had 15x8s in a 4 on 108 but they've been replaced by the 15x7.5...

Yeah looks like the 73 hub and 35 offset would work well and 470 is a good price. I'm yet to really test fit mine with tires. It's going to be close because they are pretty wide for a 7" rim because they have a heavy lip on both sides.

get a chance to mount em up yet? do the slipstream wheels seem to fit the 99 correctly? I tried to get a set last summer for auto-x but none were available with that lug pattern. If it turns out that they fit, I want some.
