what do real spoon rims have that fake spoons dont......pics please TIA

 

I just put this there because there is this guy i know who claims to have real spoon rims but i think they are fake....yeah so let me know guys

 

well the fake ones shine. like a shiny black. . .the real ones or more of a flat black

also the spoons arent universal 4 lug like the rota 4 lugs are

 

ttt

 

ttt? that kind sir just answered your question

 

real spoon wheels are lighter than the rota shitstream, black color dull instead of shiny and no universal lug 4 lug pattern.

 

won't they say desmond on the inside of them?

 

It says SPOOM on it. Or the owners of the fakies have Giorgio Armani T-shirts that say Fruit of the Loom on the tag.

 

just wight them

 

There's a couple things different.

1. Cut outs on the edge of the spokes of the rims should go all the way to the top.
2. JWL stamp on the rims are deeper on the Rota's than on Spoons.
3. Should say Made in Russia

 

BEWARE: There is a version of the Spoon rim that does in fact say "Made In Russia" but they are fake!! Yes, they have the "Made In Russia" between the lug nut holes in the back of the rim. (I forgot where it's located on the real Spoons) They're also not truely flat black, more of a Rota flat black. They weighed 12lbs for 16" too. Some guy was selling them in the bay area claiming the are 99% Spoons. PM me for more info!

 

As stated earlier:

The Rotas are super shiny. The spoon will be lighter than the tire in color. Rotas will be darker than the tire.

Look on the inside. Should say Made in Russia.

Also should have the Desmond stickers on the inside of the wheel. Usually by the valve stem on the inside.

 

these are all ways to destinguish spoon from rota, but this topic has been discussed a million times s-e-a-r-c-h!
