    Places to order Rota Slipstreams 16x8?

    Hey all,
    Well I put in an order with 18racing and they notified me days after I had paid saying that they weren't available in the flat black I wanted. I am looking for 16x8, et20, 57.1mm hub-bore in the flat black. I honestly cannot find another wheel that I like as much as them, I looked at team dynamics and all but the rotas still are the best. My question is, are there any other places to buy them or does anyone else have other wheel suggestions? Thanks in advance

    I'm in the same boat. We're better off buying a set of new or used Slips in Gunmetal w/polished lip and painting them yourself.

      Honesty is not the best policy!

      How about you purchase some Desmond Regamasters or Spoon SW-338s, the original versions which Rota Slipstreams are replicas of?

        not sure they make spoons with a 57.1mm centerbore, or 16x8.

          18racing is having them custom drilled. As far as I know, they're the only place to get them.

            Yea I ended up ordering the full polished from 18racing. I don't think I'll like the look but I can sandblast and paint the wheels myself. Thanks for everyones help!

              Thats too bad. It even says on their website "not listed in inventory, but have in stock"

              Even funnier is that, the inventory list says they have 7 on hand.

                    I have no desire to pay full retail for spoons only because some honda fanboy says mine aren't "authentic". The slips are very well priced for a very good wheel in the exact size I need.
