What's up guys? I'm on a budget of $1000(wheels only) and have narrowed my search down to these wheels(18's) pictured below unless you guys tell me that TSW are junk. I really don't know much about them, so any pros or cons would be much appreciated. Also, I'm currently running BFG KDW's(FR 225/45/18, RR 245/45/18) and I'd like to be able to utilize the 245's for the FR on my new set of wheels while replacing the RR with something a little wider. Do you think this is wise or should I go fresh all the way around. One more thing, and yes I know it's talked about alot but should I stagger them. If so, what would you reccommend. This car never sees the track and only gets driven 5-6K miles a year(I don't drive it in the snow/rain).

Thanks,

Chad

Btw, The first pic is of my 'O4 PPW Touring.

 

TSW are just fine....not light, but very strong and very affordable

tire wise, you'll be able to run the 245 up front easily - as long as mileage is low, no reason to ditch them, just get new rears

The stagger gives a more pleasing look overall to the car but ultimately (IMHO) and you'll find just as many people who like how the car behaves wti a staggered setup as those who prefer the same size all around - ultimately, it's your choice.

 

Thanks ZI.

The KDW'S have 3K on them. Is that low enough? Also, what's a good staggered set up for 18's IYHO?

 

should be fine

245/40/18 front, 275/40/18 rear

 

btw, which wheels do you prefer on my PPW of the one's I posted. I'm not sure about the black w/ the polished lip. Do you like that look?

 

If I was on a $1000 budget I'd pick up some used OEM GT wheels.

 

Good

My current tires are 45's. That's why I wasn't sure if I would be able to use the curent rears on the front of my new set.

 

I'm not sure what they look like.
Do you have a pic?

 

I've only ever used 40's, sorry - 45 will be taller. If you want to retain your 245 front, the proper rear would be a 255/45/18

look wise, it's really your choice...makes no difference which I like

 

OK, Thanks.
I know, it's just so difficult with so many styles and colors. Now I know what my customers go through when picking out tile/stone for their homes.

 

Then do a little research before buying. Who certifies these wheel? JWL? VIA?

What do they weigh?

 

that's the beauty of it...let's you get what you like best, to suit your particular style
