Default Rota Slipstreams anyone?

I was wondering if anyone had tried putting on rota slipstreams on their Z. I was looking to buy some slipstreams (17x8.5) for mine. Pics would be great. Thanks

If you like the Slipstream look, look at the P45s. More suited for the Z

I believe Slipstream's biggest size is 17in... Which wouldn't look to good on a 350z

Actually the biggest size you can find that particular style would be Regamaster.. they come in 18's. Do yourself and us a favor.. stay away from Rota's. You drive a $30k why the hell would you put cheap wheels on it? Its like having an Armani Suit but rocking a Timex watch!

Nothing wrong with Rota wheels, just talk to Dan (wheeldude) and get a proper set ie size and offset for the Z.

I believe Rota would be more like wearing Stacy Adams shoes with an Armani suit, they arn't to cheap, great quality, but not a fine set of Italian dress shoes.

I don't think you should go with rota slipstreams in 17"
try 18s in...
Nismo LMGT4 - someone started thread lastmonth about possibly selling a new set.
Desmond Regamaster - might be hard to find a set
Enkei EV5 - not sure if they have fitment for the Z

LMAO. I wouldnt put on Rota slip steams on the Z IMO. I would probably rock some other rotas but not Slip streams if i had the choice to choose a rota wheel. I dont know about you but im saving up to get a set of RPF1 18x10.5 flat black Enkies or the new PF01's .

Look into some Enkies. some of them wont hurt your pocket's as much as Volks would. lol
