Rota is now making the Boost in 16x6.5 in 4x100 BP 45mm offset and 56.1mm hub bore. This is great news, its now a secondary option to the Slipstream for a change. I think I am going to order a set from 18Racing.com for G-stock usage. Does anyone know roughly what the weight is on these?

Colors are Gun Metal with polish lip, Silver with Polished lip, Black with red lip and Sport Bronze. I am not sure about bronze or black with red lip, but, the other 2 should look great.

Will post pics once the Hoosiers are mounted and the wheels are weighed on the scientific scale.

If anyone is interested, I think 18Racing.com has some stock coming in a day or two.

 

Boost - Gunmetal, Weight:15.85 lbs (in 16x7 4x100+40mm)
Slipstream - Gunmetal, Avg Weight: 16 lbs

weights are from racinglab.com

 

Boost looks good-

Bronze

Slipstreams


Both are viable options for track or autocross or both duties.

Good also for street driving.

 

I just weighed a Slipstream in 16x6.5 45mm offset in 56.1 hub bore. It weighed in on my scientific scale (+/- .001lbs) at a suprising low of 13.160 pounds! Geez, thats only 1.5lbs off the new SSR comp. I know there is some variance on the Slipstreams though, I had another that weighed in at 13.550 lbs, not too shabby either way.

I will weigh the Boost when I get them.

 

Craig, are you running 16s on the MCS?

I have both and have tried both during the limited time that I have ran with the Mini. It seems the 17's help with the wheelspin and have a bit more grip, I am sure they will be a bit quicker, but, only time will tell I guess. I put my boost order on hold for now, I decided fresh 17's(corded mine already after 19 runs, lol) and double adjustable Koni's were more important.

 

19 RUNS?? yikes. were they a fresh set? I'm assuming the 225s have no problem with fit/rubbing. We *still* dont have our R56 yet!

I saw this thread and picked up a set from 18racing. I love 'em. Can't wait to get finished with my break-in period so I can go kick some butt in H-stock. Err, I mean, lose horribly because I suck. But oh well, I'll have fun.
