Just asking for a comparison. I know the Spoon wheel is better, but what is the major difference between them other than the price?

 

Rota is superior in every way imaginable

Search though.

 

and here continues the Rota war...

rota makes wheels that are replicas of companies like mugen, spoon, etc. I see no problem with rota wheels. so many people are against them b/c "man they're fake, they're copies y0!!!"

Looks different and feels different if you are **** like that.

Left yourself WIDE open there,

and I ain't gonna touch it with a ten foot pole

 

Search the archives if you like to see pissing matches about this and maybe a little bit of good info.

differences? cast, forged, light, not as light, expensive, cheap, one breaks easier than the other (still hard to bend/break either kind), bling, not bling.

What??!??!?

I don't have Bling on my R?

****, I must sell these damm cheap rims for ones that most people can't even tell the difference and spend 8times more.

 

If you bend/break/scratch/curb a spoon you'll either:

A)Shoot yourself in the face after repeatedly punching yourself in the *****.
B)Uses pieces of the broken wheel to slit your wrists.
or
C)Bludgen yourself in the head with the bent rim as you cry yourself into a coma.

If you bend/break/scratch/curb a rota you'll:

A)plop down another $120 on a new rim.

but in reality...it's all about the BLING BLANG...

the weight of the wheel and the shape of the casting in a few places.
the valve stem is metal vs. rubber.

To answer you question, they're knockoffs but if they were stock width I'd be rocking them at races.

I'm just saying...probably 90% of the people on Honda-tech would get no actual performance benefit that is noticeable from having spoon's vs. rota's, that's all...and for show...it's deffinitely all about the bling blang...look at all the show stunna "jdm" cars that are being built...jesus...it's called rice to spend tons of money on a 10 year old hatch back if it's altezzas and body kits and subwoofers and tv's...but when it's $500 wheels and $4000 paint jobs and super rare pieces that cost a grip then it's all of a sudden not rice?

 

I guess by the weight and the finish and the material used, spoons have a cleaner finish to it. Spoon rims are made in japan and rota's are not.

 

thanks guys, i was just trying to get a response and see what you guys think. Still lookin at rims though. I would rather have some TE-37. It's winter right now with snow, so nothing is going on now. anyway, thats cool and I learned alot about bling blang. haha
