pretty lame when you pick a product based on what sticker you may eventually put on the window, as opposed to what it actually does for you.

I bought the HKS because I love the look of the dual mufflers and the sound of it. I could care less if the tips were pink...I still would have bought it.
Sorry if I feel a $40k car deserves more than $1200 wheels or ebay test pipes. It seems that there are many people on these boards who care more about saving a $1, than getting a quality product.

I buy products that I know have a good background, good customer service, etc. I don't want to get something that will break a few months down the road.

dont get me wrong, im all for quality first. but as ive already stated, most people here are not. they care about one thing, brand. if HKS sold a cast iron 1.5 inch exhaust, about 50 people on this board would have one within a week. tell me im wrong.
as far as you being open to pink tips, i gotta blow the BS whistle on that one. ... even I wouldnt do that!

They also make wheels for:
BMW- www.beyernwheels.com
Mercedes- www.mandruswheels.com
Audi- www.augustwheels.com
Porsche- www.victorequipmentwheels.com
Corvette- www.craywheels.com
Rover- www.redbournewheels.com
TSW imo, is a reputable company and do not make cheap products. Just because they're not 100% forged, made in Japan or cost an arm and a leg doesn't mean they're cheaply made.
Before you flame a company, perhaps you should research a little before you make those types of statements.
www.tsw.com
I have the Thruxons that you flame. My rears are 20X10 w/25os and the KDW2 285/30's on them. They're only slightly heavier than my rear oem Rays 19's.
I've driven mine hard and have had no problems.
Show me another company that makes one piece wheels with a 5" lip with a lifetime warranty and don't cost a mint to own.
Anywayz...here's my TSW Thruxton's on a DG.
Each to there own....................
