All i know is that there alittle wider spoke than rotas

look for the desmond sticker and a japanese writing label next to the desmond sticker

also

on my spoon wheels

no rubber valve stem will fit the valve stem hole
the hole is so small that only the valve stemm that came with wheels will fit

texture - if your finger nails can be used to write on wheels then the wheels are real

good luck

dont get ripped off

the texture of the wheels isnt shinny like the rotas, they are flat flat black with an ashy texture, kinda like a chalk board. and they say desmond and russia somewhere

Inside the wheel. The same place with the size and offset information.

From whom are you buying these? Handle here or on Honda Tech? It's possible someone could vouch for him and save you a little anxiety. :)

Spoons are anodized black not spray painted like rotas. Plus the big difference is that slipstreams have the JWL (or whatever the correct spelling is?) logo stamped or pressed directly on the spoke.
