sounds like your leaning towards the Enkei's so just pull the trigger on the special order and get what you want. Sales guys will always push something they have in stock because its a sale.

I have the enkei raijins in hyper silver and they are beautiful wheels, definitely look better in person than in pictures. One thing to keep in mind is that Enkei makes a lot of OEM wheels (e.g. FX50 21's, Infiniti, etc.) so I trust their quality.

I've heard that TSW = the soft wheel but never owned one so can't attest to it.

It depends on which TSW you get. The Interlagos and Nurburgring are rotary forged just like the Enkei Raijin and the Enkei race series. Enkei calls they're rotary forging MAT technology. I had the Nurgburgring on my last car, a Mazdaspeed3. I beat on the car daily and ran over hellacious railroad tracks on a daily basis and the wheels stayed true. If they were soft and prone to bending I would have accomplished it. Trust me.

Got the enkei's. Look amazing in person. No picture online that I saw did it any justice. Just waiting on powder coating them a shade darker than OEM FSport wheels.
