I am hardly a cooking expert but the spring roll "papers" we have at
the Thai Restaurant are made of rice- thin and almost translucent.
Wonton, at least here in Hawaii, is a much thicker covering and I
don't believe it is made of rice- although I haven't bought any in the
last 3 years.

Just my $.02.
