TSW Nurburgring

Azroadster · 09-13-2010, 08:11 PM

Some of you may have read my earlier post about having a wheel damaged when a moron in a pickup came over on my causing me to hit a median. I called the good people at Wheelsdirectonline.com from work today and talked to them about these wheels. I am looking at 19x9.5" up front with a +41 offset and 19x10.5 with a +21 offset. They are extremely reasonable and I have had TSW wheels on a few cars before. I am thinking seriously about pulling the trigger and ordering these. What do you guys think?

I like em and TSW is pretty good quality.

I'd look at the 19x9.5" +32 mm fronts, though. Should be more flush that way.

Jeffblue · 09-13-2010, 09:05 PM

yea i'd definitely go with a bit more aggressive in the front, or just maybe run a spacer if thats the only size they come in.

Chris_1 · 09-13-2010, 09:24 PM

Guys, he has spacers on his car, so we are going to use those to help the offsets and it also helps to keep him from having to take them off and on. Trust me, I wouldnt suggest something unless I knew it, and this man knows his stuff.

Ah, makes sense. Should look nice!

Well if you don't have to use spacers, then why not just get rid of them? If the wheels come in a more favorable offset, I'd just ditch the spacers and run a lower offset wheel. Then again, what do I know?

Azroadster · 09-13-2010, 09:45 PM

Yes, I am already running 15mm spacers in the front and I don't want to have to remove the lugs. Chris was very helpful today and I am about 95% sure that I am going to get these wheels. I also think that going to a 10.5" in the rear will look better with my 305/30 tires back there. I am also running 20mm spacers in the rear as well.

I guess the guy in the pick up truck that forced me against the median actually did me a service. I would have waited thu the winter to get new wheels, but now that I have done some research I have found that there are good quality, great looking wheels out there for a reasonable price.

Well technically you would be right, but spacers like az has said usually require longer studs. He already has the studs installed which would make it a huge pain in the butt to have to take them off. By going with the +41, he will keep his spacer, and have an offset of +26 I am pretty sure which should give him almost a perfect look.

kenchan · 09-13-2010, 10:43 PM

chris do you have picts of the back side of the wheels? would it be able to clear V2 type spacers with studs build-in? (this is they type i have in 10-25mm sizes)

not bad! i like these mesh wheels.

Chris_1 · 09-13-2010, 10:53 PM

Let me see if I can ask the manufacturer, but unless you have something oddly protruding out of your spacers, their shouldnt be any issue. A spacer is supposed to mimic the factory hub part, so I dont see what problem you could have, but let me see what I can do.

Jamaica · 09-13-2010, 10:55 PM

Wheels are not bad.

TSW Aftermarket Wheels 101 Video. What makes TSW aftermarket wheels special? Our video explains|tswalloywheels.com

This is a video and it shows the rear of a snetterton, which is very similar to pretty much all their wheels. Its right around 1:24, so take a peek and it should tell you if your spacers should work, which again shouldnt be an issue at all.

One problem with TSW is that they are heavy, my last set was 30lbs a piece for 19x9.5

This is 9.5 with 35mm offset

Definately on your same page, but TSW has changed since I think the bremma is the wheel I saw you had. They have a new casting process, and their wheels are stronger and lighter now, using the same process as forgestar does pretty much. Their pricing has increased, but for good reason as they are producing much better wheels then before. I have seen this stuff in person and comparing side by side to the old, its like a different brand.
