Hmmmm... 13.5# for the 16" (first ones) or 16.5# for the second? Well, if you are looking for PERFORMANCE, the first is a better idea.

I Bought the battle wheels, They look awesome. 17" version, gunmetal.
The fronts are millimeters away from the shock/strut assembly, and they would require spacers if you dont want a scraped up wheel. The rears are fine, plenty of room.
Anyway, sweet wheels. I bought mine from Revolutionmotorsports.com, they have a great price on them right now.

Actually the wheel I've been looking into right now is the Rota Battle. A NEW Rota wheel. the slipstreams are pretty old, actually. I think I'm going to wait a while though.
The Rota Battle is an Advan AVS Model 5 knock off.
But what ARD T2 tells me is their offset (+45) isn't the best.
they come in 17 x7.5 (@16.5lbs) as well as 15 and 18

Correct offset is 40mm but I think it was mentioned 38mm looks really good too. With the stock front fenders widest tire you can fit in front I believe is 225. Not so sure about the rear, maybe 255?

225/40/17s are 2.4% too small, 225/45/17s are closer, at 1.2% too big...

This sucks. Im really bad at deciding these things. My situation is this- If I go with the Slipstreams, it'll be less expensive, tires will cost less, they're a lighter wheel, BUT the urge to go to the attack wheels will still be there. The cons of the attack wheel are-cost more, tires cost more and they weigh a little more. Im thinking go with the slip streams for now and in the future if I really wanna go with the attacks still then sell them and buy those.

Ni5mo180SX: Light = good = fast, just think, your car will be faster than it is right now!
And you can use the money you saved on tires and rims to pay for gas as you kick the *** of many more ricers!

So what about 17x7.5 with a 45mm offset? Will it rub up front or what? I wanted to run 225/40/17s all around if possible.
