Torn between SW388/ Regamasters

[lou430]

Spoons are anodized finish and Regas are painted. Spoons are 40 offset and Regas 45 offset. The spoons are more aggressive but may rub if I decide to lower later.

Also regas do not make a center cap and dont know if the sw388 center cap would fit.

If I get the regas would it be settling ?

Spoon pays Desmond to make their wheels with the same stamp. So if it’s a matter of center cap, 99% sure it’ll fit. I can measure my Desmond regamasters and provide info if that helps.

I definitely would do Spoon over Rega for sure. It just looks better IMO

I had this same conflict for my ITR. It's a win either way just go with what specs you prefer .

I forgot to also ask will resale be a big factor in your purchase? If so, definitely Spoon will get you more money just my .02

Im looking for rare wheels that I wont feel like upgrading next year or 10 years after. My R is a garage princess and only comes out for joy rides. I love Volks as well just market is saturated and making them feel less rare.

Resale is always somewhat important because I wouldnt like to take a bath IF i do decide to give them new home.

There are Regas in 18x10, 5x120, +50 offset. ICBMotorSports has them up for pre-order.

It's just a finish difference really. Unless that flat black is your favorite and/or you're going for a full Spoon build I'd say the Regas are a better option since they're cheaper for the same wheel.

What color is your CTR? That would influence the decision too.

I have a boost blue pearl.

I want the 18×9.5 for it looks perfect with 265/35 r18 combo. Offset 45 ive heard is best for no rubs and zero torque steer. Dont know why Spoon went with 40 offset actually.

Some people prefer more aggressive fitment. +40 offset will be more flush for sure, but +45 is the safest route if you don’t want to bend the front tabs.

SW388...no other wheel needed

Lol that’s my car with the Regamasters. They’re pretty dirty in that pic. They’re much glossier than that. I’m still pretty happy with them.

Personally, I don’t like the flat/satin look.

Edit: I see you’re from St Augustine. I just moved out of state from Orlando. Would have been happy to throw them on your car to check em out. Poor timing.
