    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

    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!
