Best 4 the money rims
I'm looking to get a new set of rims in order to place all seasons on the base rims to save on $$$
The Rota Slipstreams are priced nice but I'm not thrilled on the look of them - Are all ROTA okay? And what is a similar priced wheel that offers good performance? I'm looking at spending around $500 for a set of rims...Or I'd like too. |

I had the rota slipstreams, used them with Hoosier A6's for AutoX. They were pretty light for the money and well built. I currently have the rota torque wheels with autox street tires, they are much heavier, but cheap

The team dynamics from Blackwatch are a good deal.

I'd buy a set of OEMs from someone who already spent money on a set of aftermarkets.
Or from an insurance co that wrote off an Elise because the clam had a crack in it.

i have a pair of rota slipstreams (silver rims for my white car) and i basically didn't like how they look via the pictures, but i found a deal i couldn't pass up and i REALLY wanted 15/16's and i was pleasantly surprised that they looked better than i expected once on the car and in person. They have a pretty meaty/deep dish look in person.
