I own a set of real Spoons and I say get those wheels man.
I got my Spoons for a killer deal brand new - otherwise I'd never buy a fully forged race wheel for a street car.
I had Rotas on my car before and I loved them.
Nippon/Rota/Flik - I think they're pretty much all the same.
Go for it - for that asking price you'd be crazy not to.

no.the Slips are shaped almost identically to the real EVOs.unless you have them side by side it's hard to see the difference.the Nippons have spokes that are thicker,and the hub face is deeper than the EVO/Slips.
weight on my bathroom scale for the Nippons was 11.something pounds each.
i agree with Tom-get these.i have the fakes on my daily driver,and real EVOs on my weekend/race car.it's just not worth the price or risk to have a super-expensive wheel on your daily.
