They are certainly light weight...but I was never fond of 15" wheels and I'm not wild over the style either...excellent track wheel though, but I wouldnt want them on for everyday stuff.

Thanks for the opinion. Do u think it's too expensive? Do u think it would be better off going to the actual company? Based on my experience, the Crane cam at Modern performance is cheaper than at Crane themselves.

MP seems to always have awesome pricing on their products, at a glance they appear to be priced very well. I've seen the 15x7 slipstreams go for $550.00 or so on other sites...so the price seems to be lower then normal.

Depends, if its a track car okay but daily driver then maybe. If you want the sleeper look it works but make sure you match it to your car so it looks good. Black with dark colors, silver ot white and the other for the rest.

Yeah my car is black (incase you didn't notice). I already have rims but I'm kinda wanting something different now. I have some brand new tires on my car so I want to use them up. I'm thinking I should use those tires up along with the same size rims (if they look nice) or just wait til later on when I need new tires and get larger rims then.

With 15" rims on the 1st gen you can run 205/50/15 tires. This is probably the best size tire for handling. I'd say 99% of serious Autocrossers use them on the 1st gen.

The Rota Slipstreams look sweet but I don't know if the black ones woould look good on a black car.

What do you guys think would look the best? Here is a link to the site.
Gunmetal, steel gray, or black on a black car.

You should be thinking more for yourself, not on what other people think. You're the one who has to live with 'em every day. Pick what you think looks best.
IMHO, gold is hot, but that's just me.
