TSW Vortex Chrome 18" What you Think?

TSW Vortex


Anyone Ever Used these Rims? Any Good Also will they clear Brembo Brakes in an 18" rim?

Manufacturer/Model: TSW Vortex
Quantity: 4
Finish: Chrome
Size: 18"
Bolt Pattern: 5-114.3
Offset / Backspacing: 20mm Offset / 5.7 Inch Backspace

Switching from this think less spoke design is cleaner.

be prepared for flames coming your way. This forum isn't fond of chrome wheels and are very vocal about that. That being said I run chromies and have for a couple of years (pic below). However, my belief is that they can work in certain situations, I think they look better on a sedan because of our window trim and door handles. I like the OEM 18's better than the TSWs. TSW is a cheap wheel for a reason.

Yes, Those are my Rims I got them really cheap ($400) so i decided to try them out for awhile. I am actually thinking about going to Non-chrome OEM 2008 350z rims because of the 5 spoke design and the silver to match closer to the car I haven't fully decided.

Thanks for the input ended up going with A Black 350z Wheel. Decided it was time to go away from Chrome.

I think the stockers looked better than the tsw and the black z wheels. lol

There isn't anything wrong with chrome or polished, but that tsw model looks bad.
