TSW Wheels

I'm planning to buy a new set of wheels 20" my budget is very limited and i find that TSW are pretty cheap. what do you guys think about this

I'm a computer networking dude and kinda clueless about these offset and such

I almost got this same wheel last year but the tire shop suggested I should not get them.

Reason: The paint/coating finish quality (gunmetal) is not very good at all and may peel/flake off after a year or two of usage.

If you do end up getting them, you will need hub ring.

I believe there is a thin layer of clear coat finish on the silver rims.

Check with the tire shop or TSW to confirm.

That's awesome! They're using my car in the configurator that I took with Icon Media.
