How bad are Rota Slipstreams?

Saved 11lbs per corner. I had to throw them on, can't wait to see it in the daytime

Some daytime pics! Just ordered some spoon center caps. I just am not a fan of the no center caps.

Nice. How can I identify real SW388s? Is there a stamp or etching to look for?

Spoons with 5mm spacers. The ride feels great. On H&R springs.

Weight is usually a dead giveaway. True sw388 are lighter than your stock wheels. The finish on a real sw388 is anodized, it rough to the feel and very matte, almost gray. There are also specific cut outs on the sw388 on each spoke. Finally there are stampings and serial numbers on the wheel.

There are some good videos and guides out there but weight is usually the dead giveaway. Replicas won't be able to match the weight and finish.

Satin black is what you’ll want.

Picked up a set of Satin Black Rota Slipstreams in 18x9.5 +40mm. Zero fucks given as these will be my daily wheels.

I was not about to drop $4900 for a set of real 18x9.5" Spoon SW388 wheels and worry about them getting damaged in anyway.
