Who cares if they're PDM (Philippine domestic market/manufacturer) instead of JDM. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see spending that kind of $, for something that is so close to the ground and curbs.

yet your screen name is "civicspoon" :S. anyone notice the strangeness of this post? lol

lol im saving 40lbs by switching to TE37s... so i dont see it as being a waste of cash if you save weight and look good at the same time

(stock steelies = 18lbs VS TE37s = 8lbs)

i dunno i need every advantage i can get with a SOHC... id pay for spoon rims too if i had the cash

i dont think te's are 8 lbs.

Spoons are lighter and they weigh 8.6 lbs.

The Spoon SW388 are all flat black. I've never seen one come out of the factory with the yellow 'Spoon Sports' logo. Most of the Spoon shit doesn't come with a logo. All of their strut bars and arm bars are logo-less. Same with their titanium shift knob...which is very GANGSTER.

Also, the Spoon SW388s don't have the wheel stamp on the outside like Slipstreams. They're stamped on the inside of the wheel.

You pay for what you get and get what you want. Some spend less than $500 on an exhaust system...where there's enthusiasts like me that are fine with spending around $1,200 for a J's racing full tintanium exhaust.

15" TE37s weigh alittle over 8lbs ...

"The Volk Racing TE37 wheels are a one piece forged construction. One of the lightest and strongest wheels on the market! 15 inch TE37's weigh only 8 lbs!"

not the place where i got the info but it still saying the same thing i am...

i dont know my rim dimensions... i believe they are 15 X 6.5 but i have no idea on the offset... i bought them used and they didnt have any stickers or anything to show what they are... nothing on the back either... i do know they arent anything in the 40s...

so maybe they weigh 9lbs... oh well they are still light as hell lol
