I was searching for prices on the Slipstreams and found Nippon Racing F2 wheels are exactly the same, just a little cheaper. What do you guys think? A knockoff of a knockoff :confused: :confused:

Supposedly they are the same weight too..just not too sure of the quality. I think I'd rather get the Slipstreams, just thought I'd ask.

you should uhhh reduce your sig size before a mod comes calling...its double the height it should be...

anyway, i thought you didnt want the "steelie from a distance" look?? have you looked at the slipstreams with a polished lip ("royal")?

btw, whats your price range?

Idk how to change it.. :(

Well, in that pic they don't look like steelies. I think they look awesome, and track ready. Slipstreams in silver might look silly, I don't know. But they go along with the whole theme of my car..black tints, blacked out headlights, then black wheels maybe with a CF gas cap ;)

Nippon's are supposadly stronger, higher quality, but a bit heavier (like 1lb). That's what i've read atleast. I think the PS looks good. Fits the look of what i think your car should look like :D



P.S. I can easily resize your sig to size and file size if you let me know what deminsions.

I just want the top chopped off so you can see my car..the wall doesn't really need to be in the pic. Lol

hmmm...now im wondering if the slipstreams are flat or semi-gloss. i havent seen one in person for quite a while now. if they were flat they might look like steelies.

EDIT after some google action (the search engine, come on now :rolleyes: ) there is a gun metallic and flat gun. check out the royal gun metallic...these are currently my #2 choice for wheels :D
