How would these wheels look? - Focaljet

**mnfocusS** · 03-17-2008, 09:58 PM

Im looking at getting these. 17x7 42mm offset, and only $408.

**2focusd** · 03-17-2008, 10:04 PM

Wait, so is Exel just writing "Spoon Sports" on their Rota ripoffs now?

I'm not sure how much those weigh, but Rota Slipstreams are identical to those, are super lightweight, and aren't all that much more

**megail** · 03-17-2008, 10:12 PM

no that would be infringing on the copy rights of the wheels.
those clearly say "spoom"

**o2_designs** · 03-17-2008, 10:20 PM

OMG. These are kinda ugly anything 17" and above.

You should get them in either a 15 or 16".

**02_smurf** · 03-17-2008, 10:24 PM

SPPPPPPPPPPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! !!

**sleeperlove** · 03-17-2008, 10:28 PM

**mnfocusS** · 03-17-2008, 10:36 PM

If i get them the spoom and other yelllow lettering will come off. what you think?

**02_smurf** · 03-17-2008, 10:58 PM

I would check out the rotas personally. They may be knock-offs as well, but I trust them more than excel.

The rota:

**mnfocusS** · 03-17-2008, 11:12 PM

only problem is that they cost 100 more, plus shipping. these are 408 to my door.

**whitey5421** · 03-18-2008, 10:05 AM

I think they would look good

Everyone else is freaking out bc they are knockoffs, but so what, they are for a focus, not a ferarri

if you need wheels and money is an issue, i say go with them

**mnfocusS** · 03-18-2008, 12:01 PM

I'm planning another set of wheels for it next summer, bronze slips

Just do them now in Bronze....

And don't know why people have problem with Exel wheels, becuase its not a popular brand. I've had my Exel's for awhile, and never had a problem with them, along with alot of other people on this site...

**focuspl99** · 03-18-2008, 07:04 PM

they look fine, just powdercoat them gold or bronze and take the little graphics off

**Dimitri** · 03-18-2008, 10:43 PM

Nice looking rim, you can always peel the double "oo's" off and put an "A" in there and roll tite on SPAM lol j/k, but great selection though!

**mnfocusS** · 03-19-2008, 12:11 AM

well i thought that these were what i was going to get, but I found some enkei locally that i'm going to look at tomo. 300 for a set with 2 tires...to many freaking options!

where's the best place to buy rotas? i'm looking into getting a wheel upgrade.

**2focusd** · 03-20-2008, 02:06 PM

www.machiii.net is my recommendation for Rotas

-Brian

**myfafp3** · 03-30-2008, 09:29 PM

haha idk if u know this but those are imitation spoon wheels (spoon as in HONDA TUNER) so i would highly recommend not getting these just get the rotas and call it a day

**2focusd** · 03-30-2008, 10:41 PM

Um, you do realize where Rota got the idea, right?

-Brian

**glowboi87** · 03-30-2008, 11:31 PM

haha johnny p! i am a baNAna

on another note.... yeah i think these rims look awsome. both the rotas and the spoom. haha and i imagine if you dont get those stickers off you might get made fun of once or twice. but either one looks good.
