Just wondering if anyone knows anything about Nippon F2 wheels in 15"

Found a deal on a set of these, I know they are spoon replicas made by OBX and claim to be 11lbs a piece, MUCH lighter than my stock alloys that are probably 20lbs.

Also the wheels I'm looking at have a 42mm offset. Is this appropriate for a del sol? I am lowered from stock about 2.5"

you should look into "speedy wheels" too, they have a spoon copy that is cheap also, less than 90 each.... I cant find the link to who sells them

42 offset is fine

those look pretty nice, they look a lot less glossy then the rotas. is the quality better than rota though?

yeah-they're a LOT less glossy than Rotas.so flat,that touching them will leave a fingerprint from the oils on your skin..people who would usually know the difference commonly mistake mone for real Spoons.
seem to be pretty sturdy-the spokes are a little thicker front to back than Rotas and about the same weight.

I'm also interested in finding out if anyone else has feed back on the Nippon F - 2 Flat Black "Spoon" Knockoffs. I have a chance to purchase some off a friend but I haven't heard much about them. I know OBX makes them but I've searched and haven't really found anyone with them. Does anyone know if they are identical to Rota Slips as far as quality goes? Anyone??????? Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down
