Anyone have opinions on Rota Slipstream wheels on E30?

They might be another option instead of D-Forces.

D Force > Rota all day.

SRS Light Reset

Anyone know how to reset the SRS light? Like an idiot, I turned my ignition to "on" while installing a lighted rear view mirror this weekend and the check panel was removed. I assume this is what tripped the error code.
I tried this trick tonight with no luck.

If it can't be done anyone know an area shop that will reset for a decent price?
-on a '91 iX.

Thanks

Why? Construction type? JDM Stigma?

D-force are direct fit.

D-force are low pressure cast followed by heating while press rolling, which is similar to forging. It's not as good as a CNC'd forged billet, but it's the next best thing.

I believe rotas are gravity cast followed by a simple heat treating. Nothing special.

Haha I just unplugged the airbag module and replaced my airbag wheel with an M Tech 1 wheel. Flashing SRS light solved!

[zinger]

Ha! I have thought of that. The idea of a 21 year old air bag is a little scary. Plus the excuse to get a new wheel...

[flying_violin]

I don't know either, but I tried the same thread a year ago (with no luck) when my SRS light started flashing so I gave up and just unplugged the check panel. The airbag hasn't gone off yet...

Nuff said. I'm really struggling with letting the RGR's go.

I have only heard that they work ok. Generally rota has a shaky reputation, but the slipstreams tend to not break as readily as other Rota wheels, maybe just because the spokes are so fat.

My personal opinion, they are uuuugly.

[fsmtnbiker]

I've seen enough broken rotas to make me wary. They do seem to have improved their quality since they initially started, but for the price they are now there are a lot of options.

[Cloudbase]

The other option I'm looking at are super heavy throwing star reps. I love the throwing stars, but the weight has me worried.

Why not just get d-forces? If guten parts still sell them they should be able to give you a good deal. I got mine for $400 shipped.

What about 15" euroweaves?

I would think driving on some light 15's would help motivate selling the rgr's. on the other hand, I wish I hadn't sold the RG222's that were on the mini. :(

[Cloudbase]

I've had my eye out for Euroweaves. Good ones carry a premium that makes the D-Force option easier.

Just out of curiosity what is the difference between Euroweaves and US basketweaves?

I could do some RZ's too, but I'm not in love with those either.

Euroweaves are 15x7 et 24, US basketweaves are 14". iX weaves are 15x7 but et 40 something.
