16" Slipstreams have a different lip from 16" Spoons, so no one can pass off their 16" Rotas as fake Rotas. I don't know why people would want to claim their real Rota wheels as fakes anyway.

Do a search, or post in the newbie forum..

Black Rota Slipstreams have a glossy/shiny effect to them, Spoon SW-388s are flat black.

The finish of the rims should never be used to determine which wheel they are as a can of Krylon gives any wheel a flat black finish.
