Rota Slipstreams in white (to match my FC ). Sure they're spoon/regamaster knock offs, but I like them. And they're light weight.
Only problem now is the size and offset. I'm not sure what to go with. Im thinking of either 16 x 7 with a +45 offset. Or 17 x 7.5 with a +45 offset. Will the size upgrade effect performance?

 

If your going to go with the Slipstreams alteast go with ones that come with the +40 offset or maybe even the 17x8.5 with a +35 offset. The +45 offset is going to be close to your front struts.

 

link with pics please!

 

Well, 16x7 is a stock wheel size. The stock offset is +40, so you should go with that if you get that size. Personally, I would go with the 17's, though.

 

I've been debating for a couple years on whether or not to buy these wheels... These are the sizes that are widest and will work the best according to my research if you go with the 17s:

Front: 17x8.0 +35 (...may require a "thin" spacer to clear inside.)
Rear: 17x8.5 +35

I was also going to get white to go with my white TII, but then I realized how much of a nightmare that would be to take care of. Brake dust means they're dirty almost before you reach the end of the driveway after you wash them. Also, if the wheels are not almost perfectly clean or don't get close enough to matching the color of your car, I've noticed white looks like crap. Because of this I've decided (if I do get slipstreams) i'll probably go with either satin black, gunmetal or bronze. Unless of course you're building a pure show car, than maybe white would work.

Another downside of this wheel is I see all kinds of civics and integras using them, which is a huge turn off.

Good taste though. I would love to get some Regamasters but with the $1000+/each pricetag, I can't quite afford them.

Here's a link to a site to buy them at, with a bunch of pictures of them.

 

17 x 7.5 +45 with a +35mm Spacer.

 

Thanks for all the replies, I think Im going to go with 17 x 8 all around with a +35 offset. Does having a .5 inch difference in the rear really make a difference?

 

white with white its nice.

 

good, I was going to ask you why you'd want to waste your money on rims that are the same size as stock. If you're going to buy RIMS make sure it's an upgrade not the same crap with a different design.
