there is no nameplate. the wheels do not even say Spoon on them anywhere.

yup, there is no nameplate. but i once saw an SW with nameplate SPOON SPORTS on it. i'm just not sure if its the real thing but the web site where i have seen it seems to be credible.

here's the web site: http://www.inlinefour.com/spoonsw388.html

Take a look, tell me what you think.

those are yellow stickers they include on the newer sets they ship out. the only way you can tell they are real is the Desmond sticker on the inner part of the rim and the "made in Russia" stamped on the inner hub.

wow, these are definitely better. and one more thing, notice the core, the wheel nut holes' pattern design are different to the older ones. it now kinda looks similar with the 16's ROTA Slips.

not really...the 5 lug 15 inch versions always had circular relief holes.

4 lug 15 inch SW388/EVO --oval relief holes

4 lug 16 inch SW388/EVO --no relief holes

5 lug 15 inch SW388/EVO --circular relief holes

5 lug 16 inch SW388/EVO --no relief holes

damn, you are a wheel guru my friend. how did you get so good? do you own a wheel shop?

i have a question, is it true that the SWs are vary weak? that they would break easily? my cousin told me to get ROTA's because its a lot cheaper and a "hell lot stronger" than the SW. but you previously said that SPOON/REG MASTER are forged which makes it more stronger than the cast ROTA. im confused, can you explain this to me.

IMO, go what your budget can afford. All wheels are going to break or bend when there's a strong impact.

i can afford the SW just have to save money for some time. but tell me, is it worth buying? don't just wanna flush my my hard earned money to wheels that would break easily. and just to let you know, i'm really not into racing, just wanna have it to look good.
