i have a white gsr with black blades. ive never been a fan of the wheels and ive been looking for trades for while.
i got an offer today for white slipstreams if i throw up my wheels and 150
i love white on white but im not sure if itd be worth it..
any ideas?
and hes firm on 150 so id have to bum money of my buddy.
im seriously considering... does anyone think it would look good enough for 150?

What size are the slips? Come w/ tires? Condition of tires?
I like gsr blades and slips and $150.00 really isn't much, so if you are really wanting to upgrade, I say go for it.
However, if it's going to put you in a hole for the money, how long until you can make that money back? Is it going to be a strain on you?

i believe theyre 15s, he said mint and 85% on tires. so same as my wheels... no curbage and good tires. id get another 150 in about 2 weeks. but my one friends said if i was going to do white on white, i should get more spokes (maybe like gt3s) but im not sure how it would look. curious if anyones every seen it

I say do it. I hate when stock wheels are painted black, like really hate it. But, thats just my opinion. I have white gram lights and I love them, but they are a pain to keep up with as far as cleaning goes.

i would say that the money that he wants plus your wheels is pretty fair too. and white on white looks good on teggy's. plus blades are a wheel that came factory on GSR's so the slips will be an aftermarket new look. and GT3's are way overplayed.

and slips arent, its a fair trade, i sold my old blades that were pealing really bad for 350 and slips are usually wat 500 for a set wit tires used.
