Do you have pics of those wheels, it would help a great deal. I'm too lazy to start looking around the net to find them.

Big fan of the subzeros. Really like how they look in Gunmetal, but I'm betting the black would be nice also.
Good luck on the purchase, and post some pics once you get 'em!

We're the guys who truly have access to this fitment as I'm the one who spoke with Rota to produce the wheel. Rota is only 20 mins from us and we can guarantee you the lowest price considering you are a forum member.
Here's our photo page: Look around you'll see Subzero's on a couple of Proteges.,.

thanks rishie but i am on your site drooling everyday. i would rather buy from you and sean since you guys have done the fitting for us. i did not know if you would match prices. the rims are my birthday present from my folks and i will buy the tires. i want to have them mounted and balanced but i am concerned about shipping. if you guys would let me know an exact price on the sub-zero in 17 and black. that would be great. i would need to know the price of the rims and tires separate. sorry for the trouble. you can email me at jsgolfer@hotmail.com thanks
thanks for the opinions. it looks like i will go with the slipstreams in flat black. i am such a big fan of the spoon sport wheels so that is probally why i choose this wheel. should look dope though on my white wagon. i am waiting to hear back from rishie on a final price. hopefully i'll have em soon.
ps. thanks for you help rishie!

i'm also torn between the 17" subzeros and the 16" slipstreams.
yes, the stockers are 16" rims, but they're also 16x6", and weigh in at about 18-19lbs (guesstimate). the slipstreams are a 16x7" wheels, +45 offset, and weigh 13.5lbs! so, you can run a 215/45/16 falken azenis (my plan
), get tons of grip and better acceleration.
but, on the other hand, the 17x7.5" subzeros look badass, and weigh 16.5lbs. still, 3lbs is a quite a lot considering how underpowered our cars are (P5).
rishie, your custom fitment from rota, is that an increased offset?(+50?)
if i get the slipstreams, it'll be gunmetal or bronze (i have a silver p5). if i get the subzeros, it'll be gold. wheee!

decision made. i am getting the slipsteam. 16x7 in black. order them from rishie yesterday. hopefully they will be here within the next week or so. thanks rishie. everyone, let me take this chance to give auto r&d their props. very responsive to all my questions and an overall joy to deal with. even matched a price. thanks
