Default Rota Slipstream or Nippon F-2? Difference?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...d=1,1

these are the wheels i wanna get for my civic. they are 16" Nippon F-2 wheels, they are gunmetal. they are identical to the Rota Slipstreams & they are only 15lbs. Except...i've never heard of the brand. Has anyone heard of these? Should i get them or what?

Just looks like another knock-off brand to me. Prob. not much difference than the Slips.

isnt that the Schwinn bikes logo?

Their wheels are made in Yokohama Japan. That makes them JDM, right?

Lol. My bud's got these in 15" on his integra. They're pretty light actually, and they perform well. I'd just suggest against sporting the center cap. IMHO, this particular model just looks better without them.
