GROUP BUY: Rota Slipstreams (Rims)
Hey! Sorry for posting it here but I just wanted to let people know about the great deal on this group buy! Click here to check out the group buy!
I've been thinking about getting Slipstreams because of their light weight. I've also been thinking of getting some 17" gunmetal Tenzo AV-7's because I think they look really nice. My question is this: Are lightweight wheels really going to make -that- much of a difference with acceleration?
Basically I'm trying to balance form vs. function. If light wheels aren't going to do a whole lot, then I'd prefer the looks of the AV-7's.

Before my automatic LX coupe could take on a 99 EX coupe automatic (115HP vs 127HP, but with more torque for the 7th Gen).. I would actually win, by 2 bumpers. Now I get licked hard. By like.. 4 car LEGNTHS now. I get licked so hard, that I can't even beat my own winter beater with it (a 100HP '91 Corolla, with 3-speed auto).
If you care about acceleration.. get slipstreams. I don't care about speed, thats why I got the 17's.. but I had no idea it would slow me down so much!!

Dude.. as an owner of a set of 17" Motegi MR7 Gunmetals... they make more difference than CAI and exhaust combined. No joking.
