TSW Wheels
how is the quality of TSW's wheels? by the way man, I think it looks good, I would love VOLKS, but I'm in the military, getting married, and buying a house so I also cannot justify spending 3k+ on wheels for a car that i drive every day.
Thank you! Finally someone else said it. Your entire post is gospel, and I hope people take notice. I see nothing wrong with his tire choice and rim choice - they happen to look fine, and a little of bit stretch looks quite nice. I saw a friend's G37 Coupe today riding on 245 tires in the back, with a 10" rim. Yes. And it looked sick, and the stretch wasn't even that bad.
Keep doing what you're doing, rockstar.

Looks good , stretched look is cool but you definatly need some spacers and a roll to pull off the stretched look. 15 or 20mm spacers front and back will make it look great.
If you don't know your offsets (I didn't read all pages to look if you posted them), print a metric ruler (one that reads mm) and cut it out. Place 1 end on your tire and measure to your fender (or where you want the tire to be pushed to) That is your ideal spacer size.
And +1 on tire sizes. 245F and 275R would be nice.

Thanks bencurtis and arnold and everyone else with either positive comments or at least the people who dont like the wheels but understand where im coming from with my wheels choice and budget. I think the fitment is good and the more i look at my car the more i like my wheel and tire choice. Im thinking 15 mm spacers and call it a day. The quality of the tsw's seems to be rvery good for the person who asked. i have zero complaints
not my taste, but its more than i got and congrats to getting what you wanted and sticking to it.
I get heat for painting my Z a non-nissan color, went with Audi Ibis White. People jump on my case that its not pikes peak but i just prefer the ibis, no pun to the pp white, its just what i wanted.
Painted my racing civic a matte/satin black - people say "not another flat black car, be original, blah blah." Yet half of their cars are the same stock color that the manufactur made thousands of.
i'm sure i'm gonna get hater reviews when i drop matte black wheels on both.
you will always get haters no matter what.
keep up what you gotta do to make you happy with the car.

TSW Zolder Wheels
I was looking up some wheels and came across these multi-spoke wheels..they seem fairly cool looking and are a cheap option for those who are on the budget...i did not look for weight info and im gonna guess they are on the heavy side..but for the money the size and offset isnt bad...
http://www.rims4less.com/wheels-deta...ure_id=&cat=11
they come in various sizes including
18.8 +20
18x9.5 +20
19x8 +20
19x9.5 +20
What do you guys think of these as a budget wheel??

Don't seem too horrible but they are probably pretty heavy as you mentioned. If you're really set on those wheels I would say skip the 19x8's for the front and run the 19x9.5's all the around and add a spacer to the rear.
With that said there are plenty of options out there, just make sure you do your research.

I like my 19" TSW Cadwells. During the last year they've come up with some nice wheels. Even if they're on the heavy side I don't mind. Any way I don't drive so that I notice any weight difference.

Not to hijack, but would a +10 et 8.5/9.5 on 245/275's sit decently aggressive/flush with OEM spec camber dropped 2"? I'm just dead curious to see whether there would be that nice tuck that guys' runing 10.5's stretched with really low offsets..I know they run a really neg. camber, but just trying to get an idea whether this could be accomplished with such a setup.

With that level of a drop you're going to need some serious camber/fender work.
OP, nice looking wheels just a tad bit on the heavy side.
