Where are you finding 16x7 slipstreams in our bolt pattern all day? I've been looking forever for a set.

There's a site call 18 racing . They have them.

Damn, thanks guys. I must not have been typing the right combo of words in to Google, because those results were not showing up.

They have a ton of choices too. Now to decide rather to stick with 15s or go 16s. Hmmmmm...

Yea I'm so debating if I want to max out my paypal credit for set of sparcos or slip streams. I do want to powder coat the slipstreams to lime green. Do you recommend getting it painted with or without the tires ?

With tires for sure...mounting tires on platidiped wheels would tear it up.

If you going the powdercoat route you have to remove the tires. The wheels go in a oven. If you platidiping you can leave tires on.
I may have my grids powder coated candy yellow or molten orange if they have that color code for next summer.

A couple of people testing these tires are saying they have issues with grip in the rain. Any comment on that? I am in Florida too and it rains almost everyday here.

They ride really well, the sidewall is really stiff which is nice, the grip is unbelievable in the hot weather! I am in love again.

Awesome man. I'll be going with the BFGoodrich comp 2s in the 205/50. Loving my 195/55 comps I'm running now.

Hahaha. Exactly. Looking at those 16x7 slipstreams though for my next wheel choice. Love the look they give off with a meaty tire.
