Default Light wheels: TSW Nurburgring vs Interlagos

I'm looking to get a really light set of 19" wheels.
Not too many wheels out there will clear the GIGANTIC IS350 front calipers.
I've narrowed my search to TSW's rotary forged line.

These wheels are around 20-22 lbs for 19" wheels.
Both can clear the brakes, and they are really affordable!

Anyone have experience with either or recommendations?
Or better yet, pics and specs?

Thanks CL!

I have the TSW's. They fit and look great. Bought them for combination of light weight and good price. I've lowered the car on RSR half downs since the pictures and there hasn't been any rubbing issues or any problems.

You can also look into Forgestar.
They are also rotary forged, light weight, friendly and very affordable.
19 " are around 1500.

Waiting on my Forgestars to come in (Honda Pilot), going on two months. Good looking wheels from what I've seen.

I really like the bathurst look, but sadly their disk is too low and doesn't provide enough clearance for the 350 monster calipers

Hey bro, do you mind putting up recent pictures from the sides. I want to get those in bronze for my 3IS, and kinda want to get a visual of what they look like.
