would you rather spend about $400 a wheel or $400 for a whole set?
cuz real sw388's will cost you about $400 a piece whereas rota slipstreams will cost you about $400 for all 4.
nothing wrong with the rotas, they only weigh a little more than the sw388's.
no they arent "just as good" but they are good enough to warrant a purchase over the sw388's due to the price. - all imo.

Exactly. It all depends on how much you're willing to spend...

If you have the money go for the spoons.. they are superlight.. Then find a good set of lightweight tires and youll be set..
