If you only DD your car, how is Spoon more functional than Rota? Are Rotas not round? I bought my Rotas because they were the right size, offset, price and because many others have used Rotas for the same purpose in which I wanted to use them (HPDE) with success. Because of the price, I was able to budget money for more important things: tires, brake pads, entry fees (the price difference between Rotas and their brand name counterpart was worth 3-4 track days). To me, they were a purely functional purchase, they look ok, not great but not ugly. And no, they have not broke yet, and most likely won't break soon.
