He has a couple sets left. Everywhere else wanted around 250 per wheel. Also keep in mind these wheels are forged not cast like Slipstreams or FD wheels. Not that you really need it for drag racing.
The 15" Traklites only weigh 10lbs so another great option if you're running the small break kit. I would assume they make our BP but I can't verify that. Also the 17x8" wheels are pretty light as well but have a +45 offset.
The also make them in a Titanium color.
MOTEGI Traklite2 (6 SPOKE) 15" ......10.0 lbs.
MOTEGI Traklite2 17".......................14.0 lbs.
MOTEGI Traklite1 (5 SPOKE) 15" ......10.0 lbs.

Here's a few pics. I don't have the slicks mounted yet but gives you and idea. You can also see how they will let OEM studs pass through for bolt on spacers. I'm in the process of starting a new thread talking about all 16" wheel options.








I going to pick up some 16x7 45 mm offset rota slipstreams that I found used. I'm guessing if you're running a 40 mm offset and adding a 20mm spacer. I'm going to need a 25mm spacer to clear my brakes?
That is correct but keep in mind I had to use a 22mm spacer to clear my front brakes. 20mm would not work so 25mm may or may not work. Let us know what you find. Thinner the spacer, the better.
bumping this back up.
did we determine if these Rota Slipstreams are doable with 20MM spacers. i know some guys did it but didnt some have issues?? or was that something else. if they work what is the size rim do i need to order. thanks.

I never did figure out why some clear with 20mm spacers and some don't and need 22mm. I know mine did not work with 20mm spacers. Wheel you want is the 16x7 with +40 offset.
thank you. i am going to find a place to make an order. i will just get 22mm spacers and call it a day. do you see any rubbing issues in the rear?
I tried 20mm in the back but they were close to the lip and mine is not rolled yet. So I ran no spacer in the rear. It probably would be fine but I didn't want take any chances when the car launches.
Which spacer brand did you use? Ichiba, h&r or the regular ones on ebay?
