Rota Slipstream

Need help, I'm getting 16" Rota Slipstream soon, I wonder what color would look nice on 2k2 Silver coupe, I was thinking get Black, cuz real Spoon wheels are black too, just like Spoon replica.

So, anyone give me some suggestion, what color you prefer for silver coupe ! thanks

15x6.5= 11.9 lbs
16x7= 14.5 lbs

that's expensive for wheels/tire combo on HondaWerx,....... i can get rota slipstream for 475 shipped, and maybe add more 300 for tires, still beat that 960+ package on HondaWerx.

If you want to get your speedo exactly accurate you need tire size 215/50/16 and you can't get those through HondaWerx, I already checked with him. You can get 215/50/16 Kumho 712's at TireRack.com and the Slipstreams from Jaydm.com and pay about $60 mounting and balancing at a reputable local tire place and still save a little money compared to $960.

I just orderd a set of Silpstreams from a guy here locally (Las Vegas) $100 a wheel. for the 15X6.5. Gotta go with the smaller diamiter, they are my race wheels after all. The rubber being slaped on to them are Falken Azenis sports in 205/50R15. These are my race wheels and will only be on the car on race days.
