Rota wheels are good quality for their price. I know quite a bit of people who rock rota slipstreams, and yes they are replica spoon wheels.

Yes Spoon is Honda......I just like that style rim alot.....of course I wouldnt be stupid enough to buy a Spoon rim and put it on a Toyota

So I am looking for the next best thing that looks pretty close to the original

Ya know just because it looks like it doesnt mean it should only be on a honda.....go over to www.focaljet.com and tell every single guy on there that drives a Ford Focus that the Slip Stream should only be on a Honda and see how fast they turn you into a woman

Ok--so you tell everyone that you don't care that they think the SPOOMS by Rota belong on only Hondas--so get them for yourself then, I don't understand why you are even asking us if you like them so much.


It's obvious that most of us think that those fake spoons belong on Hondas--don't like our opinions, then don't freakin ask.

....see how fast they turn you into a woman

But, seriously shouldn't you go for a lower offset? I got ET35s and I am so wishing that I could have gotten ET25... :?

Since the wheel is for a Honda--he can't go lower than +40 of +45 offset, which is perfect for a HONDA.

The rims on the black bB for sure aren't Rota Slipstreams nor are they Spoon SW388s.....

That's because I've been super busy but yeah definitely keep those wannabe's to where they are supposed to be wanted.....Spoons which belong on Honda's.

F@ck the Ford forum because everytime I bet they mention "rice" or whatever slander they have for imports over there they go home and they wish had one instead of their domestic. Hence the reason why they would make you "turn into a woman" for baggin on their JDM knockoff wheels on their domestic cars.

I still stand for "to each his own, and to everyone their imagination" but there are certain limits to that rule and sporting knockoffs of wheels for the intent of another manufacturer is just wrrrrrrronnnnnng.

But of course there is ways around every rule and Work RSZ-R were never specifically built for Honda's so definitely have a field day. By the way yes they do manufacturer the real Spoon wheels for Spoon. And beside these look mucho better.

those rsz's are nice, but offset gotta be like quarters...
25 or else its gonna look nasty...

ahhah as for those rims looking like a rota... try another 1.5" wider in the rim width and about 1-2" bigger than 16's..

Just my two cents , If you like the way the slipstreams look put them on, if you are caught up in trying to be cool/JDM whatever ? ? then there proabably not for you I had gold Rota Tarmacs 5x100 (ala subaru) on my matrix XRS and they looked fuc%#ing great I must have had a hundred compliments on the wheels. Personally although I have minor JDM ques on my XB the whole JDM thing to me seems straight out of high school and the dairy queen cruise night scene. it used to be with VWs period correct german parts, ,some things never change if you get snubbed for rims on a scion think about it, who really gives a ____, as long as you like it. Its really stupid JDM vs.domestic vs. import bla bla, bla. Im keeping my XB but as soon as the new mustangs come out im buying one. I bet the windows wont wobble feel like their about to blow off when you open them on the frwy, or feel like the doors will break if you close them hard or rattle like a tin can. or take 10 seconds to get to 60mph. It is what it is a $14.000 dollar ECONO BOX plain and simple. Its your car do it up like you want it man!
