Anyone have any experience with TSW wheels? I am looking at this particular one.

What's the correct wheel size? 19x8? 19x8.5? 19x9? 32 or 35mm offset?

Thanks
Nice wheel! Don't know much about TSW, others can chime in.

Just my .02 but a 19X9 ET32 with a 265 tire would give you a fit flush to the fender, slightly wider track given the slightly wider wheel and offset, and a little more tire on the road with the 265.

Would that be an exact fit for the car, or would it require additional modification to install?

It shouldn't, based on the wheel size/offset and tire size, but I would confirm the fit of the tire and wheel combo with DTD.

Sometimes different wheels of the same size/offset don't fit the same car because the design of one wheel's spokes can't clear the brakes.

Also, a 265 tire from different manufacturers can be slightly different in size.

Anyone familiar with the term "Rotary Forged"???



The Nurburgring Rotary ForgedŽ Wheel 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.
