are you really 25?

i don't know many people over the age of 20 that think steelies look good.

LSCRX · 04-30-2008, 07:03 PM

Yup i am 25, and never said steelies look better or are better. Like i said i dont drive my CRX for its luxuries or looks, its my play toy and gas saver. I have a truck that i can drive if i want to feel like a cool kid

. I do plan on making my beater CRX a little more appealing eventually, but the swap and suspension gave me more of a grin than then rollin in a stock 1.5 with some rims. As soon as i get the little bastard BAR'd then i might rims/tires......then eventually paint and new interior.

OP: If the tyres are in good shape, and they're decent, buy 'em. Now.

Hahaha, you'd cry if you came here and saw all of the >€45k coupes with steelies about now. But it's alright, because in today all of the winter tires come off, and then everyone will be riding around on their 800EUR/ea 9lb 16" factory rims.

INJEN78 · 05-05-2008, 11:12 AM

<---rockin steelies as we speak

but thats because i just took my POS TRI-SPOKEs off to sell

i dont really think steelies look "ghetto"
if they are painted black and dont look all worn out they look fine,
but i like the slips ALOT!!!

eg6sir · 05-05-2008, 11:23 AM

hmmm..

brand new slipstreams --$400 +/-
new tires.. $200 + depending on what tire..

i'd look elsewhere.. or offer about $450-$500

K2e2vin · 05-05-2008, 11:53 AM

$600 for used Rota's is a lot.

INJEN78 · 05-06-2008, 09:30 PM

^where the hell are you finding new slips for less than $600??
i cant find them for less than 600 without tires

eg6sir · 05-06-2008, 09:32 PM

Buy Rota Rims, Rota JMAG rims, Muteki Lug Nuts: JLB Motorsports

Key word was "used". Also, plenty of guys sell them for less than $600 w/o tires; just depends on what size and model you're looking for.

LSCRX · 05-28-2008, 08:23 PM

Is there anyways to tell the width of a rim of a slip? I found another used set for cheaper, but the guy doesnt know how wide they are. Is there anything engraved or etched onto the rim to tell? Or should i just have him measure and hope he is not retarded?

Also I was going to go with the 15x7's, cause they were right in the middle. Is there any huge difference between the 15x6.5, or 7? As in traction, tire price, tire sizes, ect?

eg6sir · 05-28-2008, 09:54 PM

should be on the inside.. the difference between a 6.5 and a 7 is a .5 inch..

lol. I can do the math, i just wanted to know WHY there is a difference. I am pretty sure they wouldnt just make one .5 an inch bigger for no reason?

i'm assuming so you can run a wider tire

LSCRX · 07-31-2008, 07:15 PM

Well i am upgrading from steelies to slips this weekend. I picked up a set of 15x6.5 slips on kumo ASXs. I wanted the wider tire, but it was on back order. Oh well I got a good price 625. I will post up some pics once i get them on.

eg6sir · 07-31-2008, 08:34 PM

$625 isnt that good of a price.. you can find slips w/ tire for $450 all day long

What

Where? I searched for months for the best price, and this is the best i could find. I thought 400 for slips is average and 200 for tires and 25 for lugs.
