Rota Flight 15"

Hi, I been looking for a new set of wheels and came across this:



They are fairly cheap and light: 13lbs 15x6.5.

I tried to look around for mini owners with these wheels, but no luck. Can someone advice me if I should get these or not. Thanks many in advanced.

BTW: I have a 2003 PS, black roof, and black stripes CVT, completely stock except pipercross induction kit.


John

They look very similar to my Rota Attack wheels, but the spokes on those appear to be pushed out a little more. I'm on my 2nd set of 15X6.5 rotas and they've been great wheels. Here's a pic of my current wheels, my old Circuit 8 Rotas are pictured in my sig:

Your wheels loook awesome . Well I leaned toward the flight more b/c the spoke seems wider than yours. If the flight spokes are same width as yours, I would definitely buy yours since the spoke are more flush. It's a hard choice for me now. More advice would be appreciated.

Zamirz, is your car lowered? What springs are you using? Thanks for your reply

The thin spokes is actually why I got em My cars lowered with H-sports, but it doesnt look as low because I have 17s and Zamirz has 15s. Post some pics if you get the flights
