Default Rota slipstream wheels

I am thinking about getting the Rota Slipstream Wheels (spoon replicas) I wanted to get the rough flat black look to it...so what should I do to go about getting it that color and texture? Also what is the size and lug patterns of the rims i should get..for example...16x7 5x100 offset 40...

Rota doesn't make the right size/offsets for the s2k i believe.

There are S2KI members that have these wheels. Although they don't come in optimal offsets for the S2K, they aren't unreasonably off.

You DO NOT want the 5x100 bolt pattern. That is wrong for our car and WILL NOT FIT. You need to look for 5x114.3 lug pattern.

You also want to look for the highest possible offset. For this wheel it would be 45 or 48 (not sure what they are offering). Keep searching the boards.

the closest they make are 16x7 +45 front and rear. i have them on mine and rune stock tire sizes front and rear. lowered on teins with zero rubbing issues. the car handles great as far as i can tell. i have to really try to break the rear end loose.

Your information is incorrect.......

I'm not sure who told you that, but maybe he can't. I ordered the 16x8 5-114.3 w/48mm offset in the middle of June. I only ordered 2 rims......
