Default Rota Slipstreams

I am looking into buying a set of Rota 16 inch Slipstreams for a second pair of wheels when I autocross or track the car. I was wondering if anyone has the proper offsets for them and knows where to buy them staggered. I have emailed Rota via their website but I have not got an answer back yet. Thanks- John

Don't look for any help buying from Rota direct. They mostly support dealers.

If you're looking at Slipstreams anyway, why not these...

What autocross class do you plan on running? Someone more knowledgeable correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can run 16" Slipstreams in stock because the offsets are more than .25" different from the stock 16" wheels.

If he's planning in running AS with SCCA, then his wheel options are essentially limited to:

1) Stock AP1 wheels
2) JDM AP1 wheels (WAY lighter, WAY hard to find, WAY expensive)
3) Custom (probably going to run $500 a corner minimum)

The diameter & width have to be the same, and offsets have to be within 5mm.

I bought mine from JLB for 499 plus shipping, 16x7 front and 16x8 rear.

you'll have to call for a staggered set.

I was planing on running in the stock class but it apears I need to do more research about that considering I am about to buy rims that might now allow me to compete in that event. But I really do like the rims rip off or not I would like to get them as a Extra set with wider tires for the front and back.

FastSIIK- Off hand do you know the correct offsets? Or does anyone for that matter?

The information you seek is in the sticky at the top of this forum...section 4.1:

Wheel Fitment Guide

So...for A-Stock you have to run the listed offsets +/- 5mm. That pretty much limits your options to what I posted above.

If you're interested in A-Stock setups specifically, there's a great sticky at the top of the Racing & Competition forum. Check it out.
