k i'll ask. Not sure if he carries 5x100

Anyone with a 5gen prelude want some rota's?

$950CDN with tax and shipping. These are limited to 16" slipstreams in almost all colors except Bronze and silver polished lip. 5x114.3

Also, they are shipped from Canada so you don't have to pull any tricks to get get out of duties and stuff.

I thought Machiii sold their 17" slipstreams for around $1000 CAD.

Actually they don't make slipstreams in 17" AFAIK.

But you are kind of right in the fact the deal isn't THAT great. Its good if you don't want to pick up your rims at the border.

That edmonton shop would be even easier..
do they have a website?

Sure, if you want to wait 6 months:) , I took them off and put my winters on. I did take pictures of them off my car, the ones i took with them on my car turned out looking like crap. If you want them I can e-mail the pics to you.

No, they're not heavy.
For a 15" rim its not even 13lbs.
and for a 17" its only 16.5lbs.

Cheap and light!

yeah, but look at the price of SSR vs. Rota.
SSR's are like in Volk and AVS range, while Rotas are like one of the cheapest rims you can find!

Just to let you know, Rota's are made in the Phillipines and the quality is not that good. I've heard they break easy. But unless your doing some hardcore Auto-X'n should be ok. :thumbsup:

Ya those advans were a little out of my budget. So I settled with the ADR Designs copy. I'm very Impressed with the fit and finish. But these were not cheap by any means either. 18x8, 18x9 rear.
