Those both look like Spoon SW388's. I thought the Slipstreams had a smooth outer lip, but both of those have the lip where you can attach rim weights?

yahoo... and lets see the hands of all those with real rims that use them for more than car shows and running down the dragstrip?
Who cares man, gimmie a FCKN break. Most of the people that have the REAL DEAL are just a bunch of fashion **** anyway.
Just because they dont have big booty kits and 10ft wings they think there not riceboys now huh?

How many of you hardcore JDM fools with TRUE cosmetic parts, can really say that your putting them to there true use? Since when was spoon/mugen or whatever blahblah made for dragracing or for car shows? If most of the people are going for the look, then why should they pay full price just to be a FCKN poser anyway?

Copies kick ***. They wouldnt be as cool if they didnt also include the same or similar "performance". 15" C8s weigh 12lbs, look damn near the same, and are durable as ****. Doesnt get much better, IMO, especially for the price.

gongshow... if you're trying to call me out then just say it!!! If you've even seen my car then you know I practice what I preach (performance wise). I do not have rare "jdm" rims on my car but merely stock alloys. I'm one of those people that think you should either do it quality or say fuckit and leave it... look at my sig!!! Whatever anybody does is their own deal, but I'm not gonna approve it when they look for opinions. And yes.. quality does come with a pricetag. (I'm not just talking about weight)

You say quality comes with a pricetag but I agree/disagree. What do you have to say about knockoffs that perform just as good if not better than the "expensive" JDM wheels? Take for instance the C8. Compare it with the MF8. Tell me what the MF8 does better than the C8.

Gimme a break dude...quality doesn't always come with a high price tag.
