I was never a big fan of TSW's, I think they're cheap looking, and from what I hear, very soft and not very light. I have no data to back that up, but it's what I've heard. I like the stock wheels better.

TSW's are good quality wheels for the money, their new designs are a lot nicer than the old ones also. I think they would look good if it was lowered and better pictures.

The R32 set is different, we did one and the guy actually raised it up a little because he thought it was too low.

I dont know if maybe TSW had quality issues years ago, or if its just one of those things that get spread around online because one person bent a wheel 10 years ago and wont let it go...but I have probably seen 150 sets sold in the last year where I work and only 2 came bent wheels that were 20" on an under load rated tires from the same car. Just my 2 cents, there not really my style but for the money the arent bad.

I HAVE HAD TSW'S IN THE PAST ON MY 95 TALON AND ALSO ON MY 02 JETTA AND NEVER BENT A WHEEL, SO IT MAYBE A HATE THING ON TSW'S...OH WELL, IM GOING TO LOOK INTO COIL OVERS INSTEAD OF JUST SPRINGS.. I THINK I MIGHT NEED TO GO TO STOCK HEIGHT EVERY NOW AND THEN BECAUSE OF THE FAMILY...

I am really digging the TSW line right now. They seem to be ok on price and the quality is pretty good. I thought that they had a bigger lip on them from the ads though? Look sweet!

Companys always advertise a low offset rear wheel because they have bigger lips.

in the past i say late 90s there was rumors of tsw ( imolas, hockenheim r, blades) had soft wheels. I know one guy had a set of tsw blades on a 97 talon he kept bending them. I dont know if it his driving or just the wheel was just soft, no real evidence.

But to the op they look nice just needs dropped

No thanks. I'd much prefer stock wheels.

And stop with the CAPS.

I paid $219 a wheel from www.buywheelstoday.com

I'd have to agree but I am a little biased

Hey not everyone can afford "baller" wheels so its good that there are good looking less expensive alternatives out there. These look pretty good
