from jlb's site. this is where i got mine(you were there remember?)

cant tell if they are flat or gloss but im thinking flat.


oh and TubeDriver im in for a set of 16's when you hear back from rota.

 

Yeah, next time buy ADRs...

 

A couple of my friends bought black slipstreams for their cars (non-s2ks) and they were shiny black.

edit - I guess this is a good time to add that none of my friends had any problems whatsoever with their rims breaking or bending, and our streets are not the best here in the 909.

 

Looks good. Don't trip about these people hating on Rotas, fuuck 'em. Get what you can, shlt looks dope!

 

It's cool hearing that from someone with an e46 with HREs.

 

For reals, that shlt looks better then some Volk wheels I see.

 

Yeah, no kidding. Check out Volk's new GT line (the ones marked NEW) in this link.

Bling bling.

 

Just seeing Dut's comments makes this post worth-while for me. Thanks for the kind words man, appreciate it!

 

For the record, I bent 3 out of 4 Rota Slips on my EP3 in only 30,000 miles. So all you Rota-Hater Haters can hear from someone with experience with failed wheels. Rotas are cast (I know its already been covered here) and more expensive wheels like Volk are forged. Forged wheels are stronger than cast. There's no arguing that point. Rota's are not as strong as a forged wheel, it's as simple as that.

With that being said, I think your slips look ok. They don't look like ass, they look alright. But for me, I would choose something else. I don't buy cheap toilet paper and I don't wear Kmart jeans. And I'm not gonna put cheap knockoff wheels on my car anymore. The bottom line is, you get what you pay for. But to you if you like them. That's all that REALLY matters.
