Default Visual difference between slipstreams and SW388's

How can you tell the difference between the two wheels just by looking at the wheels? is there any indication, like a spoon or rota stamp or sticker? Reason I am asking is there is an S for sale by me and it seems they don't know if they are real spoons or not.

they will have regamaster somewhere on them. they're not labled spoon or anything

and the finish is very flat. the slipstreams are more glossy.

The currently made products the paint is almost identical. Here is the big difference.

The front wheels have holes (not extra lug holes) between the lug holes that differ from spoon wheels that only have 5 lug holes.

The rears are almost identical.

So if you have a staggered set of rotas you will have 2 different looking wheels.
