I wanted to ask you Type R Faithful some questions about these wheels. How much would be a fair price to offer for 3 perfect 16" Sw-388's with "good" condition Kuhmo's? The 4th was ruined in an accident or curb I believe. Anybody have access to one or need to sell only 1? And one last thing, anybody have those nice pics showing the correct stickers etc. on the back of the wheels to make sure I'm getting the real deal?
Thanks a lot!

i dont have the picture, but the sticker says "desmond" on it.. and the inside of the wheel should have indentations that say "russia" or somethin..

to me if i'm wrong. but thats what i remember

 

Should say desmond on the sticker, made in russia, and have a dancing horse or some animal.

 

is a must, if it doesn't have that then there not real.

 

doh, i wish i knew this before i bought my rims made in mongolia

 

damn, then you must have gotten some copies of a copy... i don't even think slpi streams are made there.

 

Here's the sticker (kinda blurry but you get the idea):



And look for this stamp:



I my EVOs.

 

Update: These rims are no longer "in".

 

Edit: RDM wheels!!

hahaha oh how true

 

LOL, well i never knew they were actually nice looking to be "in" style.
nothing really cosmetically appealing about 5 spoke flat black wheels

however, that 8 or so pounds sounds good .. i dont think weight savings can go out of style

 

Well said!!

Damn ricers....!

Sorry, Man, that`s what they told me on jdmcivic.com

 

 

I have a set of 4 for sale w/ azenis on them...click link below or IM me for more info

 

you don't buy Spoon rims for the look

 

some people do... never could figure that out myself, that's allot of $$$ to spend to look c00.

 

No chit. If you want looks, buy some niche chromies

 

like i said

 

hahaha
they are out of stylee
funny i didnt get 2 sets because they look good
mine are all discolored greybrown from my Ferodo DS3Ks
I got them cos the lighter the better
interesting thougt on getting three but it may be a bit tough to get just one
but if the price is right do it

 

I have a set of Spoon 15 X 6.5" SW388's on my GSR with 205 Azenis, and I love them. I can tell that these rims are stronger than my previous TE37's

I also bought them cuz I didnt want to deal with cleaning my wheels all the time, like I had to do previously with my former white TE37's.

In addition, I wanted something that wouldn't attract too much attention.

Some people tell me I have ugly rims, but who cares? I dont care. If it makes my car less attractive to a theif, then more power to me

just my 2 cents

 

hit dave up at R&D, he can get you a wheel.
