Whats the differnece?-- Rota slipstreams vs. Nippon F-2

What's the difference between the two, I'm not sure but it looks like the spokes on the Nippon are a little thinner than the slips, but I don't know

not much of a difference except that one has a jdm name. also the center caps on the nippons arent as bad as rota ones are. also on ebay the nippon's are cheaper.

the nippon f-2's weigh in at around 14 pounds whereas the rota slipstreams weigh in around 12 pounds. Both being 15" wheels of course. I'm actually considering some polished nippon f-2's.
