hate all you want, but i'm thinking about buying some and making them my winter wheels, should i drive at all this winter.

does anyone have a pic? i'm kind of worried about how they'll look, since they're so edgy and straight and the RX-8 is so curvy.

 

found this on a another site.

 

Not the slipstream
but Desmond Regamaster





slipstream is Rotas knockoff of the Desmonds.

 

^ hey i know that car... meet the owner in a few car meets in Illinois

 

hm, well, they look ok on the miata.

i'm thinking i'll go with 17x8.5 on a 255 tire.

flat black on sunlight silver.

 

Is it me, or does that Miata look like someone put a toy car on pavement, then took a close up picture.

 

hm. it does, kinda....

 

haha yeah it does, i guess because the background is so blurry and the car is nice and sharp.

 

yeah that or maybe its just that miatas look like toy cars

 

yeah thats probably it

 

 

yeah yeah yeah.

we all know.

i'm using these as my winter wheels, which might see 50 miles in two weeks time. i'm not really worried about it.

by the way, that picture first sourced on honda-tech years ago and it is the result of an accident (sliding into a curb).

 

wow! that is sexy

 

I find that hard to believe due to the lack of any body damage around the wheel well

 

well, you can go right on over to honda-tech and search through posts that were made three years ago, then.

 

this is my car. the damage you see was caused by a direct sideways collision with a curb. no body damage resulting from this portion of the crash..

 

Don't worry!

That'll buff right out.

 

funny?

 

Ah the rotah8ters... Never fails.

My cousin has these on his car. Looks good and does the job.

 

seen it too much



something new

 

No, it's not funny. I'm sure it wasn't funny to you at the time (as it wasn't when I had a similar problem years ago).

I had two ways to go with my response: "Aww man, that sucks"; or what I said. As long as no one is hurt, I usually respond with a look at the lighter side. I'm not slagging you, or what got you to that situation. It's just a wheel. They make new ones.

Sorry if you got offended.

 

eh im not offended i just questioned the humor. unfortunately it wasnt just the wheel. that wheel hit the curb. the other wheel hit the telephone pole. was just pointing out that there was no body damage from a curb impact, as doubting thomas had so skeptically mentioned above

 

Correction: Rota slipstreams are the Actual Knock-offs of the Spoon Sw-388


SPOON SW-388 ... these are pure jdm~ 8.55 lbs each 16 inch

 

Correction: Spoon wheels are re badged Desmonds.

 

nice try dub!
