My bro can damn well afford real spoon rims, but he's not ready to spend up to $1,500-$2,000 for a set of real ones. What's the difference between real and fake, the company who made it? It's metal after all, I know it's kinda dumb having wheels that are built by a company that stoel another companies design, but some people don't wanna buy the real spoon rims. Anyways, spoon rims are pretty fragile and should be used only for racing, not street, there's deeper pot-holes on streets than on a race track.
I have nothing agianst you, but I'm just tellin you, there's people who can afford the originals but prefer the cheaper (price), more durable ones which look just as good, and weigh just a bit more at each end.

My point is, the real spoons have thier advantages, and the speedy's have thier advantages, it's which ever one you prefer for your own use, in my case, spend $2000 less, look just as good, and do the job good enough for street.

There's my babble, I see no flames from either one of us, do I? (past or present)


EDIT: You are pretty much correct though, most people who buy knock-offs can't afford the original, keyword: MOST
Sorry for sounding so offensive
