Offers? I don't have a car these will fit, try me. :)

Slips are rota slipstreams, and they're copies of Desmond regamasters. :) Rota make perfectly good wheels, you made a good choice considering you only chose on looks. I chose slips on looks alone for my first track car, I lucked out and they were very light for cast wheels. It seems you've done the same with your boosts. Thanks for your normal person comments. [emoji14]

I completely get that, but it's like comparing slip's to regamaster's.I don't think they look like boosts at all, I think boost's are copies of advan rg's? They don't even have the same amount of spokes. [emoji14] Search Google images for 'achtec rf38' I understand not everyone can spunk 1k on wheels, but there are people that can, do and will. :) As I said before, I'm very open to offers.

Ruin isn't a word I was use, if you're doing screechy skiddiez in mcdonalds car park then yes, you're ruining them. If you're using them on track, you're using them properly? I'm quite happy to trade money for lateral g, it makes me happy. 225/45/17 RE070's are currently £65 a corner. That's unfitted, but I'm sure with a little asking you'll find someone with access to a tyre machine that will fit them for a drink. That's if you don't have access yourself. I know they're expensive, but they're one of the lightest wheels you're going to find. I'm sure I don't need to warble on about the benefits of lightening rotational mass and unsprung weight. :) They're also manufactured by a premium company, so they're strong. I wouldn't want to rally stage them off a rock no, but they're still plenty strong for motorsport use. I haven't tried wheelwhores no, I did with another set I had and got zero replies. They're very 'stance' orientated from what I gather. An offset of +49 would probably make most of them a little bit sick in their mouths. The fitment was specifically aimed at the GDB WRX STi, I can only presume 17x7.5 +49 keeps the scrub radius where it needs to be. Correct scrub radius is important for going fast on a track. Not so much for stancequeens. :p

I think tyre choice is very subjective. Especially as these a track orientated wheel, what level of tyre do I fit? RE070, AD08R, slicks? I understand a wheel like this appeals to a small audience, so I wouldn't want to pigeonhole it any further.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. The general feeling is that they're too much money, which is understandable for a manufacturer that's not so 'mainstream'. As for what wheels to compare them to, think Rays Engineering Volk, or BBS forged (also made in Japan), Taneisya are big hitters. 6.1kg 17x7.5 is about as light as you're gonna get. They're not really comparable to Ultralite(misleading name) or Advan cast. Although I'm a big fan of Advan wheels, most are cast and not in the same league. Send me some offers, they're completely useless to me. I wont be offended. :)

Not even one single reply. Dissapointed. Give me some feedback.. Ugly wheels, too expensive, prefer heavy wheels, don't trust me, hate Honda's/me? Someone must like ultralight high quality forged wheels, think of the unsprung weight savings!
