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

    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

    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!

    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.

    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...

    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.
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA

    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.

    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.
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA
