i dont know y u guys are hatin on this rim so much. did someone take a wee in your coffee this morning? or is it deep down inside u feel dumb for paying more for your rims when these look great for the price? i mean jeez...it's like these rims were made by terrorists or somethin..wtf. ok, i'm done venting now...u guys need to get your panties outta your tight cracks.

 

People are just posting their opinions, just as you posted yours. No need to get hostile.

I personally think they look good, but the lip shown on the Lexus is too big. The way the spokes are angled makes them look tiny inside. Id be willing to bet that it looks better on the Z with a smaller lip. Spending a few extra dollars to have the lips fully polished might be a good investment too.

 

i think the rims look *** horrible, and wouldnt put them on my car if they were free.

 

ya, secretly, deep down inside I love the lip, infact I am going to run out and take some sand paper to mine to they look like that. Thanks for helping me think of the great idea.

 

looks better on the lexus than the z. over onthe lexus boards its getting received well. however, it think the lip is a lil too big and i dont like the wasy spokes curve in. i feel like im lookin down a garbage disposal in the sink

 

I'm with U Tx...I like em.

 

WANT TS1s on them 19" Anyone out there selling them good price?

 

im lookin too OZ. best price ive seen is at bigwheels.com

lemme know if u find somethin better, and i'll let u know too

 

gmpperformance.com rdmwheels.com has them too but no one has them in stock. They also list dealers on TSW site. theres one in College park Md if your in Baltimore

Geez txas style you look like my father in law. he's real old and lives in Bankok. He has better teeth though

 

Does anyone know what size lip the 19x9.5 with the 20mm offset would be?

 

Just oredered min 19" from gmpperformance.com from dan at ex 255 $2090 w/ Dunlop 9000 or $2390 w/ Mich PS2

 

The rims look great. However they are not a true 2 piece.


The Z is a true sports car and I could never bring myself to put a wheel with a bunch of stupid rivets that do nothing.

I dont understand how people can buy a wheel that is trying to look like a two piece but is not.

Why dont you guys start gluing fake intakes to your hoods and the sides of your car as well. Its the same thing!

TSW can give me a call when they put out a real 2 piece!

 

Based on the amount of power aftermarket intakes make for our cars, it would probably make about as much difference as a real intake



Hmm, fake 2 piece is pretty useless, didnt know it wasnt a real 2 piece....

 

>>Geez texas style you look like my father in law. he's real old and lives in Bankok. He has better teeth though<<

LOL!

At any rate...

Hmmm? It would appear that these wheels have mixed opinions. That's cool... We can all agree to disagree.
Tast is a matter of "opinion"! If we all had the same opinion...

So good luck to all who are making this purchase. I look forwrd to seeing your install.

And as mentioned above... Yes. This wheel has/is being great comments from Lexus owners. Due to the facts I've already stated. Now they tend to be a very discerning group, particularly on wheels.

 

Yes, I'm suprised they would put an ugly fake 2-piece wheel on a Lexus.

 

That's your opinion bro'.... Key word y o u r.

 

Well... ive seen some of the sickest rims of my life in a magazine...an Import racer mag.... it had some 20x9.5's in the front, then some rediculously huge 20x11's in the back... also, they have the laser cut thingys on the side... if i go to my fathers ill scan the picture and put it up...

 

UGLYYYYYYYYYYY

 

The wheels look good. My only concern is with strength. With the spokes at 90o to the wheel rim you have direct stress/weight transfer to the rim. These wheels have the spokes bending parallel with the rim and then bending again, connecting at a 90o to the rim. Looks good but the potential for a huge stress riser at the parallel bend is a concern for racing, high speed runs or hitting deep pot holes at moderate speeds. Any stress testing by the manufacturer beyond the CAD drawings? At $ 240.00 a copy, I LOL.

If it looks good doesn't mean that you can't break it by out driving it. The question is, how hard can you drive it before it breaks?

FYI,
I know guys that have bent HRE, Lorinser, AMG, BBS, Enkei, to name a few. NO WHEEL IS INVINCIBLE! That being said, I have owned a set of TSW's previously and can honestly say they were "sturdy".
