Default I had TSW Hockenheim Rs on my last car....I bent the hell out of em

but it took a pretty sizeable pothole to do it. You didn't mention which TSW you're looking at, but the whole line looks better suited for the Civic crowd rather than Audis IMO.

Default Preceived as a low-end wheel line (maybe low to med depending who you're asking).

But I loved the way they looked on my 2.8 A4.

Default 100% boostd's comment is funny since the joke is that TSW...

stands for Terribly Soft Wheels. Bent/broken rims do seem to be an awfully common story with them though. Just search the archives. I'd stay away from anything larger than 17" if you just absolutely love one of thier styles.

Default Oh, Frank must be SO happy. I never heard the end to your...

unhappy story. So you scored a Santorin huh? I'll have to check it out sometime. Which interior?
