if you look closer...the 15's and 16's slipstreams can still be differentiated by the outer lip... notice the extra ridges on the slipstream vs. the cleaner lines of the regamaster...








the wheels can be easily identified if you know what to look for. to anyone else...they look the same.

I like both companys really... but what I cant stand is when people buy slips... then take the rota emblem off, paint them, and tell people they are SW's.


I believe Rota is a great company that makes a great product FOR THE PRICE..

I was going to get a set of slips.. but then a pair of TE37's popped up and I have loved them eversince, but looking at the quality in Rota's work, compared to Spoon.. I see no reason NOT to buy them, for that much cheaper.

it is also lighter. my cousin told me that his friend said that you can lift a set of SW wheels with just one arm. 4 wheels using just one arm, would you believe that? i don't but my cousin insited that its true. and of course the name spoon itself makes it so much expensive.

If your car is a daily driver and will never see more than a couple track days, a few pounds difference on each corner wouldn't make too much of a difference. I sure wouldn't pay so much more for the nameplate.
