FS: 16x6.5 Rota Slipstreams

I used these wheels as my dedicated autocross wheels for roughly half a season. They are H-stock and G-stock legal and will fit either the R50 MC or R53 MCS with the standard size lugs. There are some *minor* scuff marks (no curbage). If you are looking for a perfect set of wheels *look elsewhere*.

Steel Grey with the polished lip
16x6.5
4x100
ET 45
HB 56.1mm (perfect size for the MINI, so you won't need to use centering rings)

Note: pictures provided below.
New from 18racing these wheel sell for $500 shipped.

$325 shipped - cash or paypal accepted.

Hi, pardon my newbie question, but would it be practical to use these on a daily driver that sees a track only a few times a year? I mean are they durable enough to survive potholes etc. or would I have to be extra careful in daily use? Thanks.

Slips look great on a MINI and the steel grey w/ polished lip is the best color choice (IMHO) ..... if I didn't already have a set in royal gunmetal I would ****** these up.

FWIW, the version w/ polished the lip is called "royal" steel grey - thus the "RLSG" on the tag.

By the way, how much do they weigh in that size?

I recently picked up a used set of Slipstreams in 16 x 7 and they weigh 13.5 lbs. I paid $340 picked up for rims in similar condition (no curbage, but some scuffs. I repainted and reclearcoated to make them look better), so this is a GREAT deal.

I'll be using mine for daily driving. I've had three other sets of Rota wheels (two sets of Subzeros, 1 set of Tarmacs) on my previous WRX, and they were solid wheels. With a set of 205/50/16's, you'll have enough sidewall to help cushion impacts as well to help protect the wheels from potholes, etc...

Good luck with the sale!

I haven't weighed the 16x6.5 but based on what I've seen reported elsewhere the 16x6.5 should be around 12-13 lbs.

Dave do you have any pictures of these mounted? Curious on how they look on a MINI.

you bet I do. Keep in mind these were with my 215/40 R16 autocross tires that were intentionally selected to be smaller diameter for a gearing advantage.

Have you sold these yet? What would shipping be to 08052 or are you close enough to allow pickup?
