wow, those are little. it looks good. are you a hardcore autox-er? how do they ride now? and... how much do they weigh? thanks!

 

[Laagernaught]

last one, oh and OT Iron Maiden rocks. Their new album is awesome.

Ohh nice. Are they the 7" wide Slipstreams, or only 6.5" wide?
( and those tires are 205/55 eh? hehe )

Rota says they weigh about 12lbs each. The ride is great and I like the Falkens alot. Actually I don't autocross...yet. I think slipstreams look good with some extra meat around them and I'm using them all year round, that's why I went with the 15 inch size. The Tein springs have only been on for two days, but so far they have been great, not harsh at all. I did take a chance though because the slipstreams have a 40mm offset and the tire I chose is a bit "fat". Rubbing doesn't look like its going to be a problem unless i have a couple very large passengers in the back and even then I'd still probably be alright.

they are 6.5 wide, and sorry typo, the tires are 55 series

Ya i was going to get a set or 2 of those but really wanted to stick it out for a 7" wide wheel for autocross. They look really good though, and I actually like the meatiness of the bigger sidewall tires.

I've been debating whether or not to go to 17's or just stick with 16's and cram a meatier, wider tire into the fender well. I might be able to get wider rubber with the 16 inch wheel, but a 17 inch wheel does look tempting. I do like a little higher profile tire; ~50 series, it looks and rides a little better to me.

This, assuming I'll ever have money to do anything besides pay bills...

 

[choke on words]

dang those look cool dude i like'em

ya guys think those will good on a sedan?

 

[DevilsSi1481]

yeah but i think their gunmetal, flat black, or silver ones woulda looked better on the silver P5. bronze looks best with blue or black. just my opinion. nonetheless they look great. cant wait to get my pair soon.

Somebody start a group buy for 15x7 rims/tire combo, please.

 

[Groza187]

In my opinion, the wheel is too small.

Did you guys know that with 15's, you can go to a 225/50 tire. I am lowered and I run that size on my drag radials. Not even close to rubbing.

Are you runnin 225 in just the front or in the back too? Your pic suggests just the front, if you had 225 in the back with a 40 offset (i think all of rota's wheels are 40mm in the 15 inch size) it would have to hit the fender on bumps. I'm really close at 205.

Your right, sorry, I didnt think of that, it would rub in the back.
