I dont think he was posting to get "positive" feedback on how nice these rims are.
I gives not a ****, I just give my opinions.

Positive or negative feedback. I don't care to me a wheel is a wheel and no wheels are worth $300 or more a piece. Knock offs are fine with me, hell i own a set of konig heliums. Everyone who is set on spoon for their weight and everything shouldn't care about the look and get pissed off when some other company makes a knock off of it. If you're buying spoons for the looks you might as well get the rotas IMOP. If you think it was worth the money be proud that you have the real thing, why be pissed about knock offs? it doesn't make sence.

Yeah I've never understood everyone problems with companies that make copies of the real thing??? They do that in every product know to man from watches to toilet paper to Ibuprofen?? Why would I bitch about a person buying generic Cola instead of Coke-a-Cola?? Why the ph_uck do people have time to spend on demanding everyone buy the real thing or not at all??
Yeah I wish I had $2000 to spend on rims, but if I did I still wouldn't spend it on Spoon SW-338s w/tires. I'd rather buy 2 sets of Slipstreams and have enough money left to buy 2 sets of rubber on each of them. Call me stupid but that makes more since to me then drooling over the name of my parts or thier prestige in the Honda commuinty.

yes i was surprised with the quality of my rotas.... w/ a 40 series tire on my 16s i have hit some speedbumps pretty hard (they were black and didn't see 'em) and also i can remember hitting on huge *** pot hole. And the rims are still in perfect shape.
