ur a fking tool. Its funny because all I get our compliments from mine. My current wheels have survived 2 blowouts. Thats right folks, not one but 2!! My guess for that picture is they were 20's and hit something totally fked up. I had a dodge ram with some heavy duty 20 inch rims and those thing cracked like they were made of crayon's. If you hit an 10 inch pothole at 90 with any wheel they are going to crack. Period. Well ,except maybe for the workmiesters...lol

lol....I just read the whole story on that cracked rim. The dude who sold them to him previously had gotten into an accident before and had them rewelded!! WTF do you expect is going to happen after something like that? See, that the problem with the net... You guys see one picture and bam, you automatically jump to conclusions when in fact it all thiswas due to human error, not the manufacturer.

To the people that make negative comments on TSW wheels, do you have real data to back your claims or is this just opinion based (subjective).
I'm not insulting you or your beliefs. You'll have to pardon me, my discipline is data based. I am in the automotive industry and data is essential to making any good/beneficial engineering and/or process change.
So, if you have data, I'd love to see it because I am in the market for some wheels and you could really help me out. If not...well, keep on keepin' on, I guess...lol
I do like the Volks, by the way. But I also like the TSW Nogaros and yes....the Thruxtons.
Thanks!

you guys have a lot to learn, and I find you often make judgements based off what you heard, vs what you know to be truth
they are comparable to many of the wheels many of you run on your own cars

I just think the stock wheels LOOK better than the designs they offer and it annoys me that people put them on a Z (like 22 inch chrome rims) I feel it is disrespectful to the car.
and if I had the ability to test them, I am so sure the design of the rims would show them to flex more, reduce performance and probably be weaker to physical damage. but that is just an assumption based off of thier price and design of the spokes.
but at this point it is a SUBJECTIVE opinion.

Some of you guys sound like jerks who are followers instead of leaders, repeating crap without knowing the truth...sounding like owning a G35 or 350z makes you an elitest who has to put high end wheels on your car.
I have over 25 years experience with modding. TSW has a long history of making aftermarket wheels. They have been the wheel of choice of racing teams for years. I have never ever heard any stories of them breaking or bending under normal driving conditions. Just the opposite of many high end wheels that bend and break more easilty due to their lighter weight. I have never heard of TSW having surface or finish problems. Almost eveyone I know with high end wheels has to eventually have them refinished or polished...including me. High end wheels require much more care to keep them looking good.
I had a set of TSW in 93. I found them to be of good quality.
There is nothing wrong with buying high end wheels. There is also nothing wrong with buying good quality one piece cast wheels, especially from a reputable company.
So many guys talk that crap because they want to elevate themselves. Please don't put someone down for their choices.
Here's a pic of the TSW Nogaro on a Benz, looks great to me. If it looks good on a Benz how could it not be worthy of a Nissan?
