meeehhh the thing i love about the slips is that the 15x6.5's only weigh 12 pounds and theyre 400 bucks for an entire set. plus i just love wheels with five fat spokes.

if you go with Rota's have fun finding 15x7's...its damn near impossible to find anything other than 15x6.5 or 16x7...ive looked for 15x7's everywhere and i just cant seem to find them for a price im willing to pay.

lol i dunno if u saw but i already bought and have put on my new wheels. which i think are a much better bang for buck than the slips. 15x7, 11.02lbs(thats what mine came in at), and $400 for the whole set including shiney valve stems.

got new goodie today :D

amurcan cheapo APC before:

somewhat expensive JDM goodness after:

believe it or not tho, i think the APC ones actually fit a lil more snug then these..but w/e, i think i can fix that and its not bad. the quality of the Vision ones are better tho, the plastic seems alot more durable and i think theres some coating over the lense prolly to protect from scratches and such..

i also just placed an order for the LCA's since i cancled from the other place. this site says their always in stock and blah blah and their acutally cheaper. hope to have em by next friday
