Quality of TSW wheels.

Any of you has experience with this brand? I heard at one point that they are too soft and bends easily. Any information is appreciated. Thanks!

I had a set of 16" TSW Blades on my '95 Integra after my stock GSR rims were stolen. Nice rim to begin with but noticed the finish started to fade and ended up being out of round after 10K miles. Later I traded it in for my 2K Max. Now that was 4-5 years ago so their quality may have gone up since, I don't know. I know I will not be buying that brand anymore regardless of what they offer. I now have 18" Anteras on my 2K2 which I love and have hit several pot holes and misaligned railroad tracks with no problems on the Anteras.

Thanks Maximadave for your input.

That's what I was afraid of. I heard not so good stories about them many years ago (also when I had an integra gsr - what a coincidence!). They are kinda cheap. I guess you get what you pay for.

I am kind of looking for temp wheels. These aren't going to be permenant. I currently have 18 inch Kosei Double racers. I am thinking of selling them and down size to 17 inches. Just installed AGX/GC combo and bridge joints and some bumps are skull shattering.

Anyway, any other experinces? Thanks guys!

According to the SoCal VW/Audi owners I know, the ones with edgy designs (rather than curved) such as the Revo are made in different factories than the curved designs. The edgy designs such as the Revo are supposed to be pretty strong compared to the curved designs.

I think, anyway. It's hearsay, so it could be totally wrong...

Really? That is interesting. Would Sting be an edge design or curved design?
