Has anyone made use of the 16x8 Rota Slipstream wheels from the GB?

[Low Level E30]

I got mine in not too long ago, and bolted them to the hub just to see what's up. Looks like they'll need a 5mm spacer and lots of extra fender room. Anyone actually running the wheels yet?

You guys got wheels custom-made just for you, and STILL ended up w/ the wrong offset.

Don't you feel a li'l silly...? Precisely why I stayed out of the GB.

17x8 on my ix is all the way to the fender lip. i'd guess that w/out the camber plates you'd be in the same spot on an non ix. i am at et30 btw.

Closed for good I thought, eveyrone has to get their jollies at aloha stadium (no drifting allowed) on BI we roast tires all day during solo2

That's news to me. I was led to believe the track was gonna be purchased by another buyer and re opened. Rumor?

Too bad the track on Oahu is closed for resurfacing. Edit, thought you were on Oahu.

damn, they dont come out as far as i hoped they would..being as how they are 16x8...how close are they to the struts?

I'd estimate 3-4mm

Note: My front looks like it is tucked very far in, but I have GC camber plates at full negative camber, and I also have THR lollipops (dunno how much that would affect it)

On a more stockish suspension I think they'd stick out more.

I'll try get some better pics later after I go to the gym, hopefully it won't be dark out.
