Default Requested TSW Thruxton Pics + Hotchkis springs.

20x8.5 and 20x10 TSW Thruxton
Falken Azenis tires - 245/35/20 275/35/20

Overall reaction is good, gets looks while driving. Friends co-workers all loved them. Only a couple of negative reviews from people who mentioned the bars being too open and showing the brakes (and I agree), but I plan on getting monster brakes later to quiet that gripe.

I personally think they look good, they do hit performance a bit and with the lowering springs it does ride rough, but it's not horrible.

I plan on switching to 20" iForged at a later date. I bought these cause I overspent on my system and do like the 5" rear lip.

With price considered (sub $2k with tires) they're like a sore dick, can't beat it!!

They are 20"wheels I would think so. Lol a @ the sore dick comment havent heard that one in a while. The wheels look good, I like them, sounds like a very reasonably priced option. The offset if perfect IMO for those sizes, what are they?

uh, just because they are 20s doesnt mean they clear brembos, its an offset issue not rim size.

but thanks for trying.

I don't remember the offset in the front, the rear is +20 I think.

I believe they'll clear any brakes within reason, the spokes go out and curve in at the very end, plus they're 20 inches tall.

If I remember I'll take a pic, I can probably stick my arm between the brakes and spokes.
