TSW Nurburgring

racerxj17 · 09-14-2010, 05:29 AM

here you guys go.........

Weights:

- 19 x 9 = 22 lbs
- 19 x 10.5 = 22 1/2 - 23 lbs
- 20 x 9 = 23 lbs
- 20 x 10.5 = 24.5 lbs - 25 lbs

Specifications:

- Rotary Forged - Cast Construction

not sure if that is all the sizes are listed there (9.5?) but a quick search revealed the above. lighter than the forgestar, and IMO, more attractive.

That's light for this size!

ClemsonWill · 09-14-2010, 08:29 AM

I like these wheels. The weights are not bad at all. My volks are only slightly lighter than that.

That seems really light. If that is the case, go for it

yea but if you have volks then it improves the smell of your flatulence

i kid i kid, i like volks, i just think they, like a lot of the big companies are bordering on absurdly expensive.

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.

yep, that will work for v2 type spacers. thanks.

kenchan · 09-14-2010, 11:01 AM

i guess the last question is whether these will clear the akebono calipers... any news on this?

Chris_1 · 09-14-2010, 11:11 AM

Fitment is not really gauranteed by the manufacturer, but then again they say a 10.5 with a +15 wont fit. AZ if he gets them will have spacers, but I am sure its easy to test real quick if he can.

Chris_1 · 09-14-2010, 02:42 PM

Hey guys, so I spoke to TSW and got some good news. They say apparently they have not run into any issues with the Nurburgring and caliper clearance, so thats a good thing.

kenchan · 09-14-2010, 02:48 PM

great news indeed!

speedworks · 09-14-2010, 02:53 PM

So is there a good fitment (read offset) in 20 or 19 for our cars, without spacers?

Azroadster · 09-14-2010, 04:15 PM

I went ahead and ordered the Nurburgrings from Chris at Wheelsdirect today. I can't say enough about the great customer service I have received from Chris thus far. It is very obvious that he is extremely knowledgable, professional and helpful. I got what I consider a great price and hopefully it won't take too long to get the wheels.

Here is what I ordered:

TSW Nurburgring RF wheels in gunmetal with the mirror finish front.

19x9.5 with +41 offset and 19x10.5 with +27 offset. REMEBER THAT I ALREADY HAVE SPACERS! I am running 15mm H&R spacers up front and 20mm in the rear. That is why the offsets may look a little strange. I do not want to go thru the hassle of removing my spacers and having the lugs changed back to OEM.

I will do a test fit of the 9.5's with no spacers when I get them to see if there is any interference with the Akebono's and let you all know.

I really need to cool it on the Z for a while. This will be new tires, new wheels and a new Stillen exhaust that I had installed this morning, all in the last month. My bank account is sqealing! Luckily my outstanding wife

has no problem with any of it.

congrts man, can't wait to see pics!

kenchan · 09-14-2010, 04:37 PM

verry cool azroadster! cant wait for picts. congrats.

Chris_1 · 09-14-2010, 05:26 PM

In 19", if it was my car I would probably run 19x9 +32 and 19x10.5 +27 which is just a little bit more aggressive then stock front and rear. If you ran 20" I would say to do the 20x8.5 +20 and 20x10.5 +25, and that should look pretty good.

I will be honest though, the way these wheels are designed without the lip, the 20" would probably look more like 21's on the Z. Az is gonna get his wheels in a few days, and I can bet they are gonna look perfect for the Z, JUST the right size.
