Nice looking wheel. But TSWs have always been on the heavy side for me

I wish wheel companies would post their weight...it would make things much easier for a lot of people.

Most do, if the weight isn't posted, the wheel is probably heavy!

I will guess and say that wheel in 20x11 is going to way about 35lbs+

And, IMO mesh wheels need a lip.

I kinda like full faced wheels.

When you say "most do"....do you mean "most $4000+ wheels do"? LOL... I'm just kidding but I honestly NEVER see the wheels weights except for high dollar forged wheels.

Well if they are lightweight, they are usually expensive. So yes the lightweight wheel companies boast their light weight wheels haha.

But other companies do too, like Axis has all their weights listed and they even have some affordable 18lb wheels. Not sure why TSW doesn't they are a pretty huge name is wheels...

thats a sharp looking wheel. i prefer race mesh wheels not to have a lip as it shrinks the perceived size of the wheel. Also their page you linked says they're only available in 5x100 and 5x120 bolt patterns.

That's a pretty good looking wheel in the picture, but I'll reserve judgment until I see it on a car. Every single TSW I've seen have looked like ****. You get what you pay for.

TSW wheels have never been light. But price and weight aren't inclusive. Momo wheels are expensive and aren't typically light.

I think TSW is going for the new concave look which sort of dictates the no lip look. Which I tend to like personally

I like concave too, but that's not concave enough for me to give up a shiny lip lol

I would also like to see them in person, by that photo the concave will change depending on size and offsets.

The site says RANGE 100-120...114.3 falls into that range. No wheel listed in their site actually says 114.3.

I don't like most TSW wheels but the ones I posted got me interested and the Donington's also look pretty nice.



Those are in black but I saw an acura TL at work with the diamond cut ones and they looked pretty hot.

good looking wheel but not sure about quality.. seen too many TSW's crack and bend on this forum... Wouldnt really be surpirsed if they did offer it in 5x1143 eventually, arent all their other wheels offered in those.
