Well now these are a very big possibility.

Haha, I decided to check them out. They are perfect, looks great and aren't ungodly expensive. Also they are light!

They're legit wheels. Stiff, light, good looking. Everything to love

I'm sure you've already pored over this thread , but in case anyone wants to see them on the car:

Not to my surprise, I prefer them on a white car, because white is the best Toybarion colour, period.

I just wish they were gloss black. I guess I could just powdercoat them.

Nice, these are way less than what I was looking at.

Paint, not powdercoat. I'm no wheel expert nor a metallurgist, but apparently, forged* wheels should NOT be powdercoated, as the heat from the baking process can weaken the metal.

*These don't seem to be conventional forged wheels, but waht TSW calls "Rotary Forged":

The Nurburgring is manufactured using a highly advanced production technique called Rotary Forging . The rim of the wheels is forged at high pressure while the wheel is spun at high speed. This alters the molecular structure and enhances the strength of the alloy. The benefit is a much lighter weight than a regular cast wheel. Most importantly, the weight saving is in the outer rim of the wheel which dramatically reduces rotational mass and enhances vehicle performance.

Either way, I'd stay away from powdercoating.

Not gonna lie, pretty new to this whole aftermarket wheel deal. But I will make sure to remember that, don't want to ruin the wheel. How much is it to paint the wheel?

I'd leave them that Gunmetal gray. If you ever do carbon fiber accents it'd look real good.

They look good on the orange one. . . But I may be bias.

They are forged too... Which is good

Also from what I can tell they are similar in weight to TE37s.

So about 18/19ish pounds.

Looked really seriously at these for my M3. Made my final two, ended up going with Forgestar F14s though, because they custom make them for you, which makes me feel super special. Also, I could get the perfect offset and everything with the F14s, so I spent a little extra money.

My buddy had TSWs on his vette, and he got run off the road by a dump truck, and hit the curb really hard. Little bit of rehab and the wheels were good as new. Things are solid.

It's around there, maybe even a bit heavier ( but only by like .5 pounds), but arguably stronger.

I may have to re evaluate my wheel choice!

My babies. Not much to look at really, but I love them regardless.

The TSW Nurburgring is one of the few wheels that comes in an offset high enough to fit the S without fender rolling ... might think about a set later on.

Those aren't ricey. Well maybe the Acura because ever other half wit gets one and then decides to rice them out. These S2000 still looks good seven thought it is a 10 year old design. Did you put fart cans on them?

Oh I know, the 'rice' thing is mostly ironic. I just happen to like imports for some reason, hence the name.

S2k is stock, RSX has a Mugen exhaust and Type-R bits that don't do much besides make it sound like a demented pencil sharpener.

It is really hard to make a 4-cylinder sound mean in any way. I guess anti lag helps...
