What's the difference between those and the Rota slips? Besides the "Spoon" decal?</TD></TR></TABLE>Forged, coloring is different, no spot for other bolt patterns, quality.

Re: real spoon wheels? how can i tell? (EF9_SiR)
there are ridges on the insideby the inner lip ( on the inside where the air goes,not outside lip)
they will look like a light grey when you see them up close, not flat black... the ridege inbetween the spokes is more sharp cut as oppose to the rotas with are nice and smooth,,,
it will say made in RUSSIA on the back along with all the weight. 15" have curled lip and 16 have a smooth lip..

Well, aside from the 4 lb weigh difference per wheel, plus the forged manufacturing, desmonds are made in russia, while rotas are made in the phillipines. But who really cares about weight and manufacturng process. As long as they look jdm yo.

Good enough! Just don't see how that justifies $1,300 over a Rota's which are good quality wheels. I'm thinking the bling bling plays a big factor as well.
Nice wheels none the less

Can you not understand the difference betwen forged magnesium and cast aluminum?????
The wheels are ugly if you ask me.....people don't actualy buy them for function these days...but for looks. How can a flat black wheel look good anyway

I don't know whats so funny about the ***-slam InlineFour dishes out with their pricing.
For InlineFour, and I too would drive around oil less just to avoid buying oil from them!

AJ-R is even worse to me
Unless you have money....they won't even talk to you.
They have put over 16K into a guy's 00 Si...and still can't get it to run right...and it's been months. They're trying to run a Buddy CLub ecu with Vortech . And won't take it out cause they don't wanna refund his money
They're better of carting
