They're a pretty good looking wheel... found these pics searching the forum.

These are 17" (way too small)


These are 19x8.5/9.4 (looks good)



If you're going to go with 18's you need to be dropped pretty low to have em look the best IMO.

I like the look of TSW on the pic. How about their quality? Are they reliable?

I've seem reviews saying TSW wheels are soft on other forums.

The TSW's just don't have that pop. they're not concave. they just look basic. I'd rather run OEM than TSW's.

A better quality alternative to these are Enkei Raijins:

I think TWS's are great. Specially the nurburbring, because they are Forged, meaning one piece, and super lightweight.

Cast wheels are also one piece.

Forged products are stronger due to the internal crystalline structure (or grain) of the metal is consistent where as a cast piece is not.
