Decisions, Rotas vs bbs

[dr.gonzo]

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

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

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.

Backstory?

[SSRI]

No specific backstory to that rim, I've just heard my share of horror stories around the SCCA group about ROTA's when racing.

I would go with the BBS - I like them better - I could care less of the 15" vs. 16" (disclaimer - I am running 15" ronal ls)

Forged, not cast for racing, correct?

yep. forged > cast

Slipstreams are by far the strongest Rotas made. nothing wrong with them, many people use them at the track. Any horror stories you hear about rotas are not about slipstreams

If the BBS were 16", then no question I'd go with those... but for some reason those polished rotas look pretty damn good on your car.
