Eh, it's a wheel. I could care less if it's a "knockoff"... there are only so many ways to design spokes, most brands have extremely similar wheels and change a few details and then it's considered fine. :shrug:

170/wheel vs about 255ish (RPF1 in 17x8) isn't considered just barely more in my book.., it's 50% of the Rota more..

And the fact that the slipstreams are available in 17x8.5 instead of just 8.0 with a 5x100 PCD may have just bumped them to the top of my list whenever I start running 235/40/17s.. well only if that weight they list isn't right lol Slipstreams use to be light.
