Default Two Part Wheel Qs.

This is a two part question... =)

First, what is the consensus with TSW wheels? My buddy with an Audi told me they are "The Soft Wheel" and will bend easily esp with a big size rim. And I havent seen too many of the Lex crew rolling with them so I just want to figure out if there's a reason for that.

Second, going back to the TSW's, I'm looking at getting the Thruxtons 19x 8 up front and 19x9.5 in the rears. I want a nice lip and stance with these bad boys without having to roll the fenders, so for the fronts I could either go +20 or +40 and Im assuming +40 is the way to go? FOr the rears they have +20 and + 35? With +40 and +35 give a pretty aggressive stance? I also plan on lowering it with Tanabe springs 1.5" F/1" R so also take that into considerations.

Gimme the good, the, bad and the ugly fellas!

Here are the rims by the way (6th one down) Thruxton. Its going on a Silver 1G LS400 :http://tsw.com/new/productline_passenger.php

TSW is a pretty good wheel for a pretty good price. I would stay far away from the Thruxton though, way too much spoke curving going on!!
