The wheels are 15" rota slipstreams. the tires on the front are bfg drag radials. There just for going to the treack with. The car looks good with the little black wheels.The rota is the same as the spoon just 1/5 the price

what's a grease truck (aka roach coach?)

 

The grease trucks are history at Rutgers. Basically you get everything you want on a roll (a FAT sandwich). Some ingredients include chicken fingers, french fries, mozz sticks, you name it. It seems nasty, but they taste AMAZING. Next time you are in New Brunswick, swing by.

 

The 16" Spoons are not Rota's. I got a used set for about double the Rota price. They weigh about 12 pounds, the Rota's are 14. I think the Spoon 15's are 8.5 lbs. They are forged, the Rotas are not. Don't think they will ever crack but they do bend. The Spoon's finish is nicer too. Seems like hard anodized and very flat. Although the Gunmetal Rota color looks nice. The Spoon only has 4 bolt holes.

The Rota is probably a better choice for a street wheel.

MMMMMMMMMM I could go for a FatCat right now. It's been years....

 

roach coach = grease truck for the most part, except the greasetrucks have been banished to the same parking lot for years, so they dont come to you, you have to go to them.

Fat Cat = two cheeseburgers, lettuce, tomato, french fries, salt, pepper, ketchup and sometimes gyro sauce on a sub roll.

I was 140 lbs before I found the grease trucks.

but for $450 a wheel, I'd buy the Rota's too. Hell, thats the price of the whole set of Rotas.
