Can anyone tell me the differences btw the two wheels in 16" size?

 

yeah

 

yeah

 

yeah

 

what's the difference?

 

ones rota and ones nippon

 

Man, I can't believe how incredibly astute some of the people in the A/C are. It's like asking supermodels to do math.

For those who are curious, Rota wheels (or at least the 16" Slipstream) have "ROTA" cast on them.

 

 

Not sure if it applies to the 16s but on the 15s the Rota's have a deeper lip.

 

both are the same cheap wheels. one says ROTA, the other says NIPPON. both =

Yes they're both very cheap, it makes peoples pockets happy. both =

 

on the side of the spokes of slips they have a nothch/slit taken out of them on the corner between spokes(does that make sense?) Post a pic. There are obvious phsyical differences, that are hard to explain. Im not a rota lover by any means(never owned a set, only owned real deal ****) but 90% of the people on here only buy the real **** so they dont get made fun of. They have no use for a forged wheel, no need for the 2 pounds saved, and only pay for "the name". From 5 ft away in a straight on picture you can not tell the difference between slips and sw388's(I know from experience, a friend posted a pic of slips up in post your regamaster/spoon thread just so we can see if any of you fools could spot them. and no one called him out on them. dumb asses)

 

the slipstream is real and the nippon is fake?

i challenge you to show me the differences in the "flat black" slips and sw's both in 16 from 5 feet away . you wont be able to do it. im not talking about the normal slips yes they made them in flat black.

 

one is fake and the other is faker........

 

just get whichever is cheaper and/or lighter..

 

my girl had the nippon racing wheels and the spokes were def. thicker.....they didnt really resemble the "spoons" very much....with the exception of the 5 spoke black ****.
spokes are thicker from front to back, not side to side......the slits arent there like the rotas/spoons.

you =

i guess because a wheel cost $300 more, it's better, right? NOT.

 

i had both of those wheels in 15x6.5 the nippon one were slightly heavier... can't remember the exact #, but the nippon was somewhere near 12.5lb per wheel

 

I LOVE THIS THREAD. lots of true comments in here. i love the one

"but 90% of the people on here only buy the real **** so they dont get made fun of. They have no use for a forged wheel, no need for the 2 pounds saved, and only pay for "the name"."

so true.

 

haha thanks. And hella, so you agree with me, or are you mocking me?

 

you said somebody posted fake sw's in the sw thread . and i said that i challenge you to show me real from fake flat black rotas 16in from 5 feet away . you wont be able to do it . not mocking you at all...

 

I know I can't do it, no one can. There was a set of 15" flat black slips posted in the SW thread, and NO ONE caught it. Because its impossible.

Nippon and Rota on the other hand is different, Nippon's dont have the slits in the spokes like Rota/spoon's do.

 

i agree
