Default Local wheels store

I found this place on the internet and the surprise is that they are close to where I live.

http://www.jaydm.com/slipstream.htm

It looks like they have good prices on Rotas. The 15-inch Slipstreams weigh 12 lbs and the 16-inchers weigh 13.5 lbs. Given the minor cost difference, I may end up with 16s and 205/45/16 Goodyear GSD3 tires.

you can do much better than 600 for a set. ive seen 'em for as low as 350 shipped.

and the 16's weigh more like 14.5-15 pounds...not 13.5.

15x6.5 Rota Slipstreams + 205/55R15 BFGoodrich G-force Sport's....FANTASTIC combo and it can be had for less than 700 bucks if you shop around.

Oops, wrong link! I've replaced it with the right link - check it out. And I called the place yesterday - the guy verified that the 16-inch Slipstreams are 13.5 lbs - that's light! I still wouldn'tmind going with 15s, but the Tirerack calls out the recommended tire size as 195/55/15. Are you sure that 205/50/15s don't rub? I think the only BF Goodriches I'd buy are the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KD-2s. Even then, the Goodyear GSD3s are better, due to their incredible wet weather traction. Unfortunately, the only 15-inch size they have is 195/50/R15s and they are backordered at the Rack.
