Decisions, Rotas vs bbs

[Stephen]

Whats the offset on the 15x7? a set of 15" lips to make them 7.5s or 8s wont be insanely expensive. Considering you can sell the current lips and/or use them while you save.

Couldn't you get bigger barrels for the BBS?

You could but it would be pretty expensive. I think you could almost pick up a set of 15x8s for the price of the barrels

I am looking for some slips in gold/ bronze. Anyone have pics?

Sell the 16 x 7 slips and get black 16 x 8s. The BBS are nice and your car looks great with them, but performance wise, the Rota's are probably lighter (16lbs for the 16 x 8s) vs. ? for the BBS, not to forget the contact patch. If you don't wanna get new rims, I say the BBS look better than the polished Slips.

powdercoat the slipstreams black

[Wh33lhop]

Correct. They come in the right size (16x8 is THE ONLY size you should get these in) but they look like ass on E30s, especially the polished finish you've got pictured.

Saw the size of the slipstreams you want and edited my post. 16x7 slipstreams aren't even worth considering.

[Stephen]

Ok. I understand Rotas are a good size but....


BBS vs Rota?


And Rotas are spoon knockoffs.

BBS or knockoff of a spoon wheel...


Edit: if my post isnt clear, BBS. Or PM me and ill take them off your hands.

[Danny]

This settles it.

I WILL be buying slipstreams as my next wheels.

[2002maniac]

I love rotas, but BBS wins this time.

[Wh33lhop]

Actually im pretty sure the Slips are a knockoff of the Spoon SW388 wheels.

run the slipstreams with a bigger tire, they'll look tits.

[bejbis]

Both ;)

Slipstreams might be a replica of Desmond Regamaster Marquis Promada (made in Russia and rare)

I like BBS quality, but LOVE Slipstreams' look.
