TSW wheels are great wheels. They have a great reputation and have been around for years. They make wheels for SO many specific brands ( Benz, BMW, Lexus, Porsche, and Range Rover ) . I would recommend you stick with a concave wheel for a more modern look and TSW even has a good amount of forged light weight options

This is the opposite of what Ive ever heard of TSW.. always known as 'The Soft wheel'. Lots has changed with their forged lineup.. but I wouldnt say they are great wheels with a great reputation. The are a lower mid range wheel... you can certainly get better quality for the price.

I have to disagree , as would most who know TSW. They don't get as big as they are because thy bad wheels . They are easily on of the biggest after market wheels manufacturers and meet the stricter EU standards

Rota and XXR are big companies as well.... I stand by my comment that you can find a better wheel for a similar price. If someone is set on TSW, go with their forged lineup.

Vossen has some pretty nice wheels if you are looking for 20s. RedlineAZ's wheels looked STUNNING in person. In the short while I was standing by his car I had 2 comments and a couple of very long stares at the car.

thanks guys - ive raised my budget a bit and am looking into vossens as we speak.

i have one last question... does offest mean the same with all rim manufacturers? Meaning is +40 the same with vossen as it is with lexani? I don't want to be stuck buying from someone just because they know the fitment.

thanks for the help

Now the TSW thing makes more sense. While Vossens do look decent, they are not a high quality wheel either....

If you are on a budget its worth a shot looking at the classifieds.. you can get a better quality wheel for a similar price of the lesser quality ones new.

You might be surprised at Vossen's quality these days. I owned a set of vfs2 and they were well manufactured, flow forged, lightweight and beautifully finished. I know some of their original cast wheels didn't hold up to demands, but give the company some credit, more sales = more r&d money and now they're churning out a forged line as well.
