Look for the desmond plate that will be on spoon wheels. I believe the Rotas look shinny as compared to flat black like Spoonies.

Spoons are FLAT black and Rotas have a gloss to them. One looks "nicer"- Rota. The Spoon is meant for racing. Spoon/Desmond wheels= same thing.
Run your car into curbs and see which one breaks first.

the 16" sw-388's don't have holes between the lug holes...
the spoon wheels have a diffrent lip then rotas just look at the lip

The stuff listed above is correct. The lip is different as well as the finish. The rotas are kinda glossy while the sw388's are completely flat black.

look a little diffrent, the main diffrence is price.
Price is not the only difference. It's called materiel.
It's like comparing real diamonds to fake diamonds. Yeah they look the same, but are they?
