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.
Regarding the TSWs, they are heavy/non-forged/cheap looking wheels imo. I don't have DPEs just because they cost a good amount of money....hell, there are alot more expensive wheels on the market. I went with the wheel that satisfied me the most. 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. Originally Posted by M4Gunner

In regards to the HKS exhaust, the tips do not say "HKS". 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.

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!

Granted they're not forged (strongest and most expensive process today) but I disagree with your statements as far as good company bckgrd, will break and quality product. Their warranty is lifetime, two year on paint and their wheels are predominately sold in Europe.Originally Posted by 98intrigue

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....................

i dont like how spokes go inside of rims...
spokes go in too deep imo.
that's the only reason i dont like...
how much is a set w/o tires?

exactly, but nobody was saying that they were on the top of thier list. just the fact that flaming a company w/o all the facts is stupid, and it happens way too much around here. but whatever, in the long run, i dont really care. it doesnt matter to me one way or another.Originally Posted by LIUser
