Default Your thoughts on the TSW Max wheels...

I'd like to get some opinions. I have a 2014 obsidian with black interior.

I accidentally posted the matte black Giovanni wheels. The TSW wheels are glossy black or a silver finish. What do you think?

Just my personal preference, but I would go silver with an Obsidian GS. I think Glossy Black would just make the car look like a big, black lump.

I'm thinking it would just be too much too. Any other opinions on some new shoes for my GS?

Honestly it depends on the look your going for if your going for a blacked out look then yes go with the the gloss black color but if you don't want that I would also suggest silver as it won't show the wheels in black but silver will separate the car from the wheels.

Black wheels disappear anything further than about 25 feet away (I have no idea why anyone buys black wheels). But the silver ones above look great.

I would personally stay away from black unless you are going for that sinister, murdered out look.

Silver would be nice. Gunmetal too. Here's gunmetal on my obsidian IS-F is used to own.

I think I'm going with the silver TSW Max wheels. Now what are your thoughts on 19X8.5 or 20X8.5? I'm afraid the 20's will look too big and lose too much ride quality. But I may regret getting the smaller 19" wheels down the line because it is too small. The Fsports come with 19" wheels right? How do you guys like the look and size?

Same here. 19s are big enough.
