ok so i can get some rota slipstream wheels 17" flatblack used for the low. Jus wondering u guys opinion on those wheels mounted on a tc. My tc is silver i got tinted windows i wanted to get dark colored wheels for it. i tried finding pics of those wheels on the net and i figured out that they are more for hondas and stuff. but i think they wont look bad im goin to drop it to..i got hotchkis springs for it.

there is the link to what they look like.

 

I think they would look good, but they look the best when dumped on some coilovers.

 

What's the width/offset?

 

I think they'll look ok. but its only bc im biased and I think they kinda look like rega's.

a lot of civic people have these bc they look like mugens too

 

I think its mugen or spoon* that they replicate

 

Rota making wheels that look like other wheels??? Say it isn't so?!

 

LOL its a shocker I know. who woulda thunk it

 

Funny you mention that, regamaster acctually manufactured those wheels for spoon, so they are all infact rega's, lol, honda people have gotten the name spoon stuck on those wheels

 

yeah it was something like that. just how rays makes the G35 wheels.

idgaf but desmond regamasters will always be my all time fave wheels then volk gt-p's and blitz type 01's

 

i think it would really depend on the size and offset. but those wheels dont look bad

 

well they are 17x7 +40. i dont understand the offset...i was lookin around on the net but couldnt figure it out. if someone could help with taht too lol

 

OEM wheels are 17x7 +45... so those Rotas would stick out 5mm more than OEM wheels (which is good).

The offset is the distance between the center of the wheel and mounting "face" of the wheel - the part that touches the car. Positive numbers mean that the mounting face is towards the outside of the car - negative would mean it is towards the inside of the car.

So in our case the +45 is tucked a little bit inwards toward the car. So a +30 or so would look a lot better and more "flush" with the fenders than OEM.

Make sense?

 

so the higher the number the deeper the wheel? or the more it sticks out from the hub?

 

The lower the number the more it would stick out.

 

o true sorry...thats what i meant. ok i got it.. thanks. so those should fit...i think ima go with those cant beat em for the price...
