real spoons have extra holes around the hub and should say it on the rim somewhere. i'm not sure if they make any to fit accords anyhow

First of all... the Spoon SW388's are forged. The Rotas are not. If you compare them side by side, the Spoons will have a forged pattern to it while the cast Rotas will look smooth. Second, the Spoons are anodized flat black. The Rotas are painted, you will be able to see metallic flakes or tell that it is paint on the rim. Third, if you look on the hub of the inner rim, it will be stamped "Made in Russia". The Rotas will have a sticker saying they are "Made in the Phillipines". Hope that helps

and yes, they come in 4x100, 4x114, and 5 lug patterns.

spoons are anodized black, i think the gun metal rotas look more like real spoon rims (especially when you dont clean off your brake dust) flat black rotas look cheesy as hell

sp00m wheels are made of the same material the russians use to make tanks, so they are almost unbreakable:thumbup:
