Rota slipstream question

[Paul1985]

This is regarding a set of slipstreams for an EG Hatch.

Ive found the wheels i want, but am unsure on whether or not i can get them from anywhere or if they're still available.. im not ready to pay for them right now, just getting my reseach in.

The only slipstreams i will settle for are:
1. Rota Slipstreams in Royal Gunmetal with a polished lip or;
2. Rota Slipstreams in Royal Black with a polished lip.

They will obviously have to be 4*100 and i want them in 16"
Now, anyone know how possible it is to get those rims?

I realise that all black (and i think gunmetal too) slipstreams pop up for sale on a fairly regular basis around here.. so im wondering if its a good idea to maybe purchase one of these and have the lip polished myself? (that is only if i cant find them already polished) Anyone know any info on this and whether it is expensive and/or worth doing?

Thanks heaps guys, any info on the availability of these would be great also.
1 other thing, if i decide i wanna go the genuine of this (spoon) could i get the same in spoon??? i.e. black/gunmetal with polished lip..

cheers :thumbsup:

i think the polished lip would have to be custom

just like these:

they're gunmetal, im leaning more towards black atm but will settle for either.

if its gotta be custom.. is there any problems with doing so??? and what sorta cost to have it done and where do u get it done, just any wheel specialist?

im thinking maybe spoon too

Here's a DIY on How to Polish Lip your Rims. (It's a Slipstream as well....:D)

I'm thinking whether or not I should do it for my set of Slips, I'm scared I'll regret it once done!:rolleyes:
Oh yeah....Original ROTA slipstreams DO NOT come with Polished Lip. You'll have to customise it....

if i were u put them on your car and take a few good pics then have some people photochop it with a polished lip for you.. might help u decide :)
