The story of the Spoon SW388 starts in 1994. Spoon Sports in conjunction with the Russian Desmond Corporation began to work together with the aim of creating the world's lightest aluminum wheel. After two years of research, development, and testing the benchmark SW388 was born; a 15x6.5 +45 4x100 wheel that weighed a mere 3.88 kilograms (8.554 pounds).
As such the name SW388 was born = Spoon Wheel 3.88 KG
For nearly 20 years Honda fans have been asking Spoon Sports to revive the wheel, after production abruptly stopped in 1999 when the Desmond Corporation shut-down. Finally all our prayers were heard and Spoon Sports has begun work with Tan-ei-sya (makers of TWS wheels) to produce an All-Japan-Made Forged SW388 Wheel.
Spoon Sports will be releasing multiple sizes ranging from 16 - 20 inch. ***
Here is a pic of the 18x8.5 +45 5x114.3 version. Weighs in at 16.094lbs. S2000 Spec sizes will be available. These just released a little while ago so sizing information is still up in the air.
That price is steep. Especially considering that they are made by TSW. Their wheels are not known for being pricey. I was hoping for s2000 friendly offsets (17x9+60) with prices similar to standard TSW wheels or Spoon's most recently discontinued wheel the CR93. TSW does make s2000 friendly offsets, so I could see them making them with these.

TWS make very high quality motorsports wheels, awesome to see them making the new SW388s!
Don't quit understand where the $1000/wheel price is coming from though.. Spoon is listing these new SW388s in this size at 85,000 yen (~$750/wheel). $250/wheel shipping and handling is a bit obscene indeed.
Looks like they are making 17x9.5 +50 which is absolutely perfect for a square setup on the S2000.

Yeah the price is up there. But these are made by TWS Japan which make super super light forged wheels. The TSW you are referring to is a different company. And yes the higher offset options will be coming out for these wheels. Just not sure what size yet though!

Thats right! I remember when the T66-F release and their pricing was right around this. Super light and strong.
