You might want to put on a flame suit..

I like the design of the TSWs more, but there are better wheels out there and it's worth it to spend a bit more to get them. Volks, Works, etc.

i know i agree with you guys, i was checking out the volks or the works but they are on back order for the next two months which sucks. I was also checking out pentas and they are on back order as well. So i'm stuck.

Getting a used set of nice wheels even with some rash in the marketplace here is still 10x better than having junk like TSW.

This isn't a poll....just an inquiry.

No one here is going to you for asking questions but we do have our opinions. The TSW wheels look nice but they weigh a ton, then consider you want 20" wheels that's more added weight. When getting new rims to replace the OEMs you need to upgrade not the reverse. (downgrade) Regardless of which rims you get I wouldn't go larger than 19" unless you enjoy having a crappy ride with the 20"....Oh yea and constant concerns about rim damage. Do more research into quality rims, look at rims on our cars that members actually drive not some garage queen that's only displayed a shows....

yea i'm heavily considering going 19s because i don't want to rub too much and still want to drop the car a good amount. I have stock 19s right now.

Thank you guys for all the great feedback. I won't know unless i ask.

TSW's look better IMO between the 2 in the OP.

BUT, the stock 19's are forged, lightweight aluminum(or some metal) and are pretty light and also made by Ray's, which also makes Volks (I think.) Point is, you already have great performance wheels on there that are already lightweight, and if you put on 20's your adding weight to the rotating mass which is the worse possible kind. Keep your stockers till you can get nice, used Volks or other lightweight, high quality rims.

Sorry for the stupidity of the wording of my post, I just can't think straight tonight.

Yea definitely agree. I'll just drop the car for now on the stock 19s and get quality rims like works or volks.

Any opinion on pentas?

WTF! Are you sure about those weights? Granted the RM will be greater but on my axis they werent too much more heavier than my stock 17s, but this was just by lifting them. 60 - 62 lbs just sounds crazy!
