    Needed: Feedback on Rota wheels

    I am considering purchasing a set of 16" Rota Slipstreams for my 03 Corolla and I wanted to hear from those of you who own these wheels or have any experience with them. Any feedback or opinions on these wheels would be greatly appreciated!!

    Thanks!

    These will be used for AutoX so there is no need to go larger...anything larger than a 16" would just be adding unsprung weight to the car (no good for better track times).

    the rotas are good rims. especially for the autoX your doing. 16" is a good size and their pretty lightweight rims.

    16" rota slipstreams are the best wheels that you can get for your car!

    I've got slipstreams and love them. I haven't had any problems with them, they're light weight, they look good, and I got them at an unbelievable deal! :D You won't regret buying them :cool:

    Thanks to everyone for your replies!

    Anyone have any idea where I can get these things? I can't seem to find anyone local that carries them...I am looking for 16X7, 5X100, +40mm offset.

    eBay...or an online dealer. sometimes you can get them for a REALLY good deal with tires.

    There are plenty of 17 and 18" Rotas available online, but they're for the Subaru WRX and I think the offset is too much for the Rolla. I did some research and all of the Subaru applications are a +48mm offset. I have not found a single listing for the wheel I am looking for... :(

    you could always run +48 offset and a 10MM spacer..

    i'd imagine a +48 would put your tire into the side of your strut tower ..
