I've heard TSW rims are a bit soft, but I have those same Montage rims in 20" on my RX330 with 50 series tires. I drive over curbs and pot holes all the time They've held up well with no bends for about 3 years now. The 50 series tires do play a large factor in that though. Either way, it is a nice rim that doesn't break the bank.

do you race your car or something? if not unless you are running 40" chrome non forged rims it wont do anything to your suspension, it may slow down your rotational mass and change your odometer.

Your car look very smooth. I bet it would look much nicer once you drop your car with spring. What type of spring are you planning to use? That model next to your car made it look ever better to look at

haha. I was planning on going with the Eibach Pro Kit but I'm not sure if it will have the same drop on a 350 as it will with my 250.

Pricey for TSWs. I wouldn't of personally chose them, the TSW trend stopped in the early 90s.

actually I got a better deal that I've seen anywhere online and heard about, I'd like to see where they're priced lower.

also, I'm not one for trends, and I've seen multiple people on the boards with TSW's, so maybe the trend isn't quite over yet.

As long as you are happy with your choice, it's all gravey.

But 2k is a lil too much for TSW.
She didnt pay $2k for the rims. That included everything...tires, mount & balancing, insurance, etc. $225/rim = $900 for 19" TSW. That is not a bad price. Now what you paid for tires...depends on what kind they are.
I like your car & rims...pretty sweet ride for a girl young enough to be going to home comming...you're lucky. When I was your age, I was pushing a dark blue 82 Grand Marquis with a black hood and one light blue fender...hahah listen to me..."when i was your age" I'm only 26 and I sound like an old foogie.
