Rota's are not lighter. Spoon's 15x6.5 weigh around 8.5lbs, while Rota's weigh 12.5lbs. Spoon rims are made of a magnesium alloy. Spoon rims are better IMO, but Rota's are nice and cheap.

^^ Agree. Spoon rims are lighter than rotas! Don't get me wrong, rota slipstreams are still a light rim, and are good for the amount they cost. I would probably buy the rotas just because of the price difference.
