spoon wheels and desmond regamasters are the same wheel manufacture
spoon wheels have no stickers on their new models just their original wheels

actually i have had 7 over the past 3 years or so and on those 7 cars were a total of 3 sets of fake ass cheap wheels and you know how many times they failed me? zero times! i drive a civic not a full on race car. therefore i dont see the advantage to these super expensive hyped up wheels (that is my opinion)

opinion - noun

1. a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty.
2. a personal view, attitude, or appraisal.

we all have opininions here. of course i think i am right and you think you are right...in reality we are all right. none of us are saying spoon wheels are ****ty. i just dont see how they can be so much better for daily driving your ****ty civic. i drive a ****ty civic and i dont think $1300 worth of aluminum will make it any better! so for $700 cheaper i can roll on some wheels that to most ppl are just a stylish wheel.

i can see where you guys would hate rota's though..i have a freind with real spoons and ppl are always commenting on his slips! he could have saved some money and no one would have cared :lmfao:

but can you tell a difference while you are rolling on them? does the car roll better through the parking lot at macy's? i guess on that trip to your girlfreinds house you can be rest asured that you are safer with those spoon rims that you would be with any other dot approved rim....i know it seems like i am being a **** here but im just debating. im sure they have advantages on the track but for daily use i just dont see it.

after all, wearing a rubber is great when you are banging a nasty from the club but for the daily grind with your steady girlfreind just raw dog it for the cheap!

i rock rotas cause i cant seem to get myself to buy expensive wheels for street abuse/use. i was going to get some works wheels but why when they are going to get trashed and rock chips and such.... i think they are sexy awsome made wheels but i am not going to buy wheels just to throw on for a show or event. i drive my **** every day and rotas are ok for me. but i give props to those who buy expensive wheels and rock them everyday. you have big balls my friends :) if i had a track car or was building a show car of course i would go with the expensive real deal ****........

That's the point some of us have been trying to make, the high quality wheels are made for the track because of their differences from the re-pro's. I'd hope that if you spent an azz ton of money on motor work, suspension, etc., you'd do the same in the wheel dept so there's a slimmer chance of your car being sent for a roller coaster ride. The lighter wheels may just even make your lap times (or 1/4mi times for you draggers) quicker. But to me it's not worth it rolling around on authentics...I'd use stockies off the track before I'd use re-pro's though.

on the track for sure use some good ****..but im not rolling on those real deal expensive wheels on the street...and why look like ass on doo-doo's when you can get some rota's or some other cheap wheel and have your car look good? to each his own...you wanna roll on doo-doo's thats you. but im rolling on rota's, drag's, fliks, nippons ect..im not THAT proud

I'm into the more suttle look. I'd rather spend the $800 that the rotas with tires cost somewhere else on the car and keep my meshes. As long as I have grippy tires for cruising/driving, the wheels don't matter on street. Just difference in train of thought and opinion/preference. I'm not knockin you though dude, at all.

Yeah true about that last part. But this isn't really sh*t-talking, just conversing about what we think...more or less...

another correction i meant to say the 16's. thank you for the correction. :D

Well, i was looking at the finish and it looks too dark. Spoons look more flat, more of a grey black rather than a deep semigloss. My bad my bad.

So you agree that Rotas are high quality, since a ton of people rock them for track.

Like I said before, no matter what wheels you're using on track, dilligent use is the most important factor.

This thread is getting pointless. You'll always think Rotas suck and will break on track. I'll keep using Rotas and be happy, we're not going to change each other's minds.

Sometimes it is all about JDM. If you have the money, why not?
But when you do not, go for something which cost less.

Just save up money for the wheels. You get what you pay for, just run some pot holes with the rotas. Welcome to Georgia.
If you don't care your wheels bend, rotas.

No, you don't seem to understand what I'm saying. Rotas are NOT high quality. That's why I PERSONALLY wouldn't use them on the track, and if you're smart, you wouldn't either. And your dilligent use of your rotas will probably result in a broken wheel.

Someone lock this thread for real.

Relax, the first part was a joke. This thread is done. There will always be people (like you) who think Rotas are imminently close to failing and there will always be people (like me) who will continue to use them without problems. It's funny that there's an old thread somewhere in this exact subforum where someone (like you) was convinced that Rotas are crap and mine will break - still waiting for that to happen.
