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

You have one year to break them. ;)

please explain...... is there a warrantee on these?

what suspension are you guys gonna run with them.

I received mine today. First thing i noted was that they were pretty well packed and protected. Second was the poor design. The low offset should have been handled differently. instead of moving the spokes back, they extended the core. You have one year to break them. ;)

Anyway, they look pretty smooth. i'm glad you guys decided to hop aboard this GB. It was a good deal.

i'll try to remember to check when I get home. I knew these wheels weren't going to be as light as say... K1s or SSRs, but they ain't bad either (considering how many options are out there)

I haven't yet mounted them up. but i did weigh them on a certified shipping scale and it showed 17.88 lbs. I am a little bummed out because the shipping label showed 17 lbs. as the ship weight, not! Maybe I'm over reacting a bit, but I was really hoping for 16 lbs. flat:(

Has anyone else weighed their wheels yet and could chime in?

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?
