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 damnnear impossibleto 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.

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
