Forged wheels?

What do you think of these wheels? Are they worth the stretch?

I'd just be careful with the load bearing...Many wheels cannot handle daily driving if theyre so light that they're load bearing capabilities cannot handle the weight of the car...

Other than that theyre lightweight and look good

there's a few people running the regamasters on daily driven problems with no problems...some are even running slipstreams and the regamasters have a higher load capacity

They are BEAUTIFUL rims, they are the same as SPOON SW388(?)
made in Russia, forge aluminum i think. Get some meaty tires with those if you plan to drive it everyday or save it for track use only.

you are looking at 1200-1300 for a used set

the rota knockoff that started it all, SLIPSTREAM
