- Start date
I was just saying if hes gonna spend $350 on used rotas, i mean if hes dead set, then this is a plausible scenario.

You can get me a set for 100$?
I can, but i don't have the time. Sorry. And Im i made a mistake by calling those Steel. Its Alloy material
Just keep looking man, you'll find them. Or buy them brand new and have them delivered to your house.
actually... for all i know, those Slipstreams could be Steel.

Geez get off this guys ass. They're wheels and tires, simple as that. Who cares if they're Rotas. I use knock off TE-37 Nippon Racing wheels as my street wheels/tires for my race cars. Do I or anyone else care? Hell no. They work, they are light for what they are, look good and are cheap. I even used them on the track and have autox'd with them, they work. Holy hell people...
By the way, NO ONE has made any good argument for or against these... Doing a quick ebay search for these wheels, NEW they go for around $450 shipped. Then look at the tires, they look like they are Falken Ziex ZE-912's, they look chunky so probably 195/55R15's but I'll go with the later and say 195/50R15's, which new are around $230 PLUS shipping. Taking into account these say they have 80% tread left, lets drop that price to around a VERY CONSERVATIVE $175. Drop the price for used Slipstreams to what I believe a CONSERVATIVE price would be if they are a good shape, $250. That totals out to around $425 for a use set of wheels and tires in good condition. And this guy is asking $350?? I'd say that's a VERY good deal to start off with. You could even talk this guy down some more to make it a hellva deal!
If the OP doesn't mind the long drive, the amount in gas is negligible considering these are a very good deal. Even with gas it could be less than $350 for the wheels/tires.
Now, would I do this? No. Simply because my time is more valuable. I wouldn't do this even for a really expensive set of wheels because I don't have the time. I'd rather pay to ship something. But if the OP is willing, I'd say this is a very good deal, all assuming the wheels are in good shape, no bends and will balance and the tires are in good shape as well.
Go for it if you want OP. Who cares if they're Rota's. They'll work and look better than steelies IMO.

Thank you point well proven. Cause of assholes like these clubcivic isn't worth browsing for me., you come for suggestions and help you get shitted on for "not having 1000$+ wheels" I have decided I'll wait a bit for a better deal locally.
And you came for suggestions, not all will be positive. It doesn't have to be a $1000 wheel, but even Buddy Club and Enkei have options well under that price point. I don't like replicas, so I am bias. If you already had your mind made up, idk where the question is.

Buddy clubs are ricey as f**k. The rota subzeros look just like the enkeis.
did this really just happen???? That's Facebook quote of the dayAlso, I was just informed:
"Lol fail subzeros were copies of racing hart cpo35's get your wheel knowledge right" hehe

I want to get off these ls meshies and get something new. preferably 15inch and around 400$ what you got.Honestly, just save some cash. It's what I do, and I recommend everyone else to do when they can't afford quality. You will feel better in the end. I would rather roll steelies for a bit and wait for a good deal to come around when I have the money. I've purchased from impulse before and I suffered from it in the long run
There are plenty of cars that look nice, but few that are built with quality and care. Stand out amongst the crowd

I understand. You suggest to save up for brand new rims and tires? I'm in highschool working part time.
Not necessarily brand new, just something quality. You can find good deals on used wheels in great condition with tires!
Just check craigslist a lot
