haven't seen those specifically, but they look like spoon. difference is spoon is only 4 or 5 lug. i'm not one to hate on anyone in the imports, but those who are might call em fake spoon rims. juss my 2 cents....

Of course they are fake, but even Spoons are just rebadged Desmonds.

I'm looking for a cheap "track-only" rim and am trying to decide between:

Rota Slipstreams
Rota Circuit 8
Kosei K-1 Racing
and then I found these, looking for information on them if anyone has seen them before.

Kosei is really good quality IMO and they are very popular in Japan with Civic owner's.

just get the slipstreams if you are on a budget. i bought some just to see what they are about(for the price of GS-R's i couldn't resist). i thought i would have poor construction and strength but it has stood up to the abuse that i have given it. downtown san francisco has the worsts roads too. i actually snapped an axle after hitting a pot hole. and still the rim is round, no dents or cracks.

i hate knock offs more than anything but *Rota Slipstream's are the best bang for the buck light weight wheel out there.*

I will choose K1 Racing or Enkei RP01. Won't bother to think about the other two choices.

Ya see, my quandry is I have nice Volk CE28n 15x7 rims now with Falken Azenis. I have a set of Kumho V700 Esta 225/45/15 race tires sitting here waiting to race. Now the Volks were very expensive, worth more than the $800 rusted CX I bought, but would be the better racing rim.

So people, should I get cheap daily drivers and race on the Volks, or get cheap race rims and drive around on the Volks.

Should have started a damn poll

Now about the quality on the rims i cant tell you about, but one thing is you wont find alot of people with them, Keyowrd though YET. They wiegh 12.5 pounds. and i like the color options better than i do Rotas. and their only 400$ for the set. im debating on whether or not to order them tuesday or not, or just save and get some RH c2's lol.
