Any interest in Rota Slipstreams 16x8, 4x108?

Surely somebody weighed these wheels? There's no solid info out there on what they weigh. I really dig these....16x8 is the perfect size for this car and these are perfect fitment with no spacers or hubcentric rings needed. I heard 17 lbs on the group buy then I seen it was closer to 15 but no solid numbers. The 7 inch version of the 16 is only a hair over 14 so hard to beleive it would be nearly 3 more lbs for the added width. I wish somebody would confirm. Surprised more people don't run these. I understand rotas aren't the most popular thing since sliced bread on these forums but they're not bad and this is a real solid choice for our stock bolt pattern.

Well at least we have someone who's weighed them. That still isn't that bad if that is the weight this is a pretty decent option. The 8 inch version looks better due to not having those extra holes near the lug holes.

These are available in a 38et on amazon for $675 shipped currently. I may even purchase these. Online they say 17lbs. I would guess they weigh less since a 15x7.5 only weighs 12.2lbs.

Why doesnt anyone put a 215/45/16 on these wheels? Seems like it would be the best fitment and only .1" larger diameter than stock. PERFECTION! Wish I could see an example of this setup in a picture.

Falken Azenis rt615k+

That would be a real good fit imo. I may have went with these over the 15x8 pro race 1.2 had they been available when I purchased over a year ago. I like these wheels alot. I don't regret getting the pro race wheels at all though it's nice having the extra sidewall for ride and a little less weight (vs these 16x8).

After seeing that the 16x8 konig dekagrams are only going to be $142 a piece in a 16x8 and weigh only 14.5lbs I am 99% sure Im going to get the dekagrams. As long as that price holds true my wheel search is over.

Holy crap are they making those on 4x108? If so if I like the style that may be something actually worth switching wheels over lol. Use those in summer and my 15x8 during winter with 195/55 Michelin xice tires. That sounds like the dream setup to me lol. Light and good looking setup in summer and winter haha
