TSW makes some very nice wheels. I was considering a set of these wheels until I found out how much they cost. It's worth it though, but at the time I didnt have the money for them.

I like the 3rd one, which is the Montage right? Those are what I really wanted but as others have said cost was a major factor. Anyone of them will look sweet so have fun.

great taste u have! The first ones i love. They remind me of the zenetti 5's, although alot of people have that style.Getting a rim with no lip does make the rim look bigger and ofcourse with a lip makes it a little smaller. i say if you get chrome, get the rim with no lip. i hate seeing people with chrome rims that look so small.Our rides are big, we need some big rims!

Yeah - I kinda like that nearly "rimless" look of the Vortex - not that many people sport those on this size of a car... and I was possibly considering going with a 19x8 and a 225/45/19 on those - which would still give me a little rubber on the road (as long as it didn't rub the wells) ;)

I think my second choice of these would be #3 - after all, I do have to consider the offset on these wheels as well!

Thanks for all your input...

the 2nd one is the best, I would always go with something that has a lip if you are gonna get chrome.

I thought about 20"s but then I think it looks like a wagon wheel stuffed under the well with that little strip of rubber (40s or less) wrapped around them.

Maybe I'm just an old fart - but I like a balance of wheel and rubber on my ride. ;)

And the more I'm looking at these photos, the more I'm liking #3 - think it's time I mess with a little Photoshoppin' on my ride...

Thanks for all yer input! :D
