Default NIPPON RACING WHEELS - SPOOM LOOK-A-LIKE!!

have you guys heard of nippon wheels? how's the quality compared to rotas? i noticed nippon wheels are almost half the price of rotas and have more of a flat black finish much like the real spoons. before you replica haters jump on me, i'm looking for a light weight wheel that's the best bang for my buck!




made in japan!!

i have those exact wheels. I love them. For the price you can't go wrong. I got them because they had a much more flat black look than the rotas. They are very light weight and look great.

GET THEM!!!!!! you won't be disappointed!!!

they're 15x6.5

no reason to get a 6.5" wide wheel when
rotas that are 15x7 and look the same are available.

slipstreams are crzy light as well..
these are probably too ,but slips are tried and true
