so the spoon label would make them more than the desmond wheel right?
since it doesn't come in a spoon box.

No, they are actually about the same price... but that is really expensive

Actually, they start off as Russian Aluminum. But the Japanese people bring them over and bake them in JDM ovens and it turns into JDM Forged Aluminum. The price increase 40% because this treatment is used. Japan's government has placed a tariff on all goods stamped JDM.

For the price, I'm pretty sure they're made of some sort of Japanese platinum

well they are over prices, we got that down, but they do look good, but from some spoon rims i have seen, they all have oil stains on them that seem like they cant come out.
