tsw wheels

Does anyone know anyhting about tsw wheels? They are really cheap compared to everything else, so I'm pretty sure they are not that great of a performance wheel. Any experiences would be appreciatted. thanks

Found this: http://www.carid.com/articles/how-ts...-are-made.html

TSW wheels are one-piece cast wheels, made to the highest standards of manufacturing... TSW has found that rotary forged lips are motivated for its high performance Nurburgring and Interlagos wheels...

The Nurburgring are actually rotary forged, I believe like Forgestars.

Not the best offsets for the M3 unfortunately.

All I know is back in the day we referred to TSW as "too soft wheels"

I believe it still holds true today

Actually the Nurburgring are a pretty good wheel. I know several people who track with them with no issues. Just not the best sizes for the M3 if you want to go a tad wider.
