i couldnt tell if there was spoon or not but my friend told me to check one rim so we took out the tire now inside the rims it got the spoon logo,
LOL Dude...! Quit BS ing, your only making yourself sound like more of an idiot...the first thing you shouldve done is weigh the rims. Even a monkey wouldve realized that he was getting rotas instead of spoons.

Aside from the blatantly obvious color differences, there are some other differences you can look for. Rotas are more of a gloss black than the Spoon's very flat anodized finish.
SPOON
ROTA
1. "Made in Russia" being stamped in the wheel on the backside of the hub area is the key
SPOON
ROTA
2. The lip on the Spoons is thinner than Rotas
3. The edges on the real Spoons will be sharp - Rota's edges are smoother and not as cleanly cut
4. Unless someone took them off, the Spoons should have the Desmond sticker with a Roman looking horse and chariot thing on the insides. Why anyone would remove these, especially with Rotas being passed as Spoons these days is beyond me. I dount anyone with a brain would.
5. Again there should be another JAWA sticker too:
6. the hole for the valvestem will be small as s**t on the Spoon wheel. They are so small that normal rubber "pull through" stems won't even come close to fitting. Here's a shot of the Spoon one:
