Hi guys,
Just wondering what your opinions are on the Rota Slipstream wheels?
They are replica Spoon wheels. 15x7 weights in at 12.9lb and 15x6.5 at 11.9lbs. I can get a secondhand set for $850 with standard road tyres.
Also would 15x7 +30 require guard rolling or would i be better going with +38?
Cheers guys!

pics first. weights are ok, but you could get wider for the same amount. 15 x 8 ftw

does it have a centre cap? might be just me, but all those holes would detract from the image i think. otherwise fairly good

Nar no centre caps for the slipstream.
Would 15x7 +30 require guard rolling?

Boost, i am on 15x7 +35 with no problems......this is on 205 series. If you went to a 215 you would need it roll i reckon. 195 series would be a problem i reckon, also depends on how much camber you are running.

Have never seen an MX5 with Spoon style rims before, looking forward to seeing them installed Boost!
Honda FTW!!!! (runs and hides)

THey belong to a mate of mine, so i get a chance to test them on the car and see how they look before i buy them. Ill post some pics when i get them on.
Im still undecided on whether to get the slipstreams 15x6.5 or the RB 15x7 +30. If the +30 fits under the guards without rolling them i might put alittle more effort into sourcing the RB's, other wise ill just get the Slipstreams.

Are the RB's the Watanabe lookalikes?
I reckon they look hawt on a MX5 (NA especially....less so on NBs) but the Spoon style is definitely more unique. I guess it depends on what MX5 you have

Yeh the RB are the watanabe look alike. I have silver NB8A so I wont look as sweet as it would on a NA but hey it will still look Good!
Do you think the +30 will be a guard issue?

THanks for the reply Kelvin! Just the answer i was looking for. Is your car lowered with those rims or standard height?
