rota slipstreams
I think I will be getting a set of rota slipstreams(black) for my 04 black wrx. But I have a few questions...
1st How do you think it will look?
2nd What is the best tire for them?(mainly street driving and I live in Fl so no snow)
3rd where is the best place to buy these I was thinking subydude.com

yes but from subydude.com
they will look good, i have steel grey slipstreams on my 02 wrx
best tire depends on what you want to pay and what you will be using them for
the best would be s03s, but there are plenty of good tires out there for just street driving
oh and here is a picture of mine on my car (my car is the one on the right)

slipstreems are replicas of spoon sw388s, which means they are pretty much meant for hondas and acuras. if you think they look good thats cool but I wouldnt rock a wheel that is meant for a honda on a suby its just extremely poor sense of style. and I can guarantee that you will definitly be the subject of a lot of entertaining laughter. when I heard the idea I cracked up myself. to do it would be bad for subaru enthusiests everywhere.

The Spoon SW388 is NOT made by Spoon. They simply had a company named Desmond make a version of a Regamaster wheel,
that just so happens to look similar the the SW388, but is available in different colors & bores.
Regamaster EVO
So, what I am really trying to say is that you
could say that the "slipstreems" are replicas of a replica (Spoon SW388) of a replica (Regamaster EVO), you would be more correct by saying that they are EVO knockoffs.
