Default Ever heard of Speedy Slipstreams?

My local tuner shop is selling a set of Speedy Slipstreams for $400 while the Rota Slipstreams are for $440. They look exactly the same to me. Anybody here who have Speedys? Is the name Rota worth the $40?

Rotas have proven themselves to be quality wheels.

In the great scheme of things, that 10% could make you or break you.

Knock off's of Knock off's, now spoon can laugh at Rota...

The speedy's have a yellow sticker on them that looks like the font of the new spoon sw388's with a yellow sticker on their... If that makes sense... I would rather spend 40 for knowledge of a decent quality wheel, who knows, I bet speedy's manufacturer makes rota's as well. Have you seen Rota Wheels web site, oh my god, it's the worst thing I've ever seen, rota must have been started by a 12 year old girl...

I would pay the extra 40 for some rotas. With the exception of the guy in the wrx with the attacks I have yet to see a set crack or break.

40 dollars would be worth the extra security.
