TSW Nurburgring Rotary Forged - Need your inputs!

[minkl81]

Was searching for some wheels last night thinking to get a winter set or not and came across this wheel. Really light weight for the size and amazing price compared to other light 20" wheels. With this wheel, I'll be reducing about 10lbs each corner

Best deal I've found so far..
$336 per wheel @ discounttiredirect.com + $100 online order discount (expires 11/30/2010) + free ups shipping

I too love those TSWs.

I would do 20 x 10.5 and use them as summer wheels and make the MMRs my winter setup...

I think the TSW Nurburgring's look great. Ever thought about lowering with springs/coilovers first? In my opinion, lowering the car will be the biggest difference one can make before updating the wheels.

i really really really really really really really really really like your current setup

I think your current set-up looks really good but on the other hand I love the thought of the lighter rims. Those TSW Nurburgring Rotary Forged wheels in the mesh design and at 10 lbs lighter per wheel would be my choice.

thank you for the inputs guys

I like the look of MRR too but TSW is very tempting with 10lbs in weight savings. Also price is really attractive too. 20" wheels that are about 23lbs each don't come at this price tag.

No plan to lower the FX at all and I'm thinking about TSW for weight savings purpose only.
I have other daily that's plenty low enough right now

I couldn't resist the curiousness of the actual weight and how it'll look on the FX.
So I pulled a trigger...

20 x 8.5 +40 offset
measured exactly 24 lbs

MRR 20 x 9 +40 offset
32.9 lbs = 8.9 lbs reduction

OEM 20 x 8 +40
31.5 lbs = 7.5 lbs reduction

They are nice and light, the same weight as my 20/8.5 Enkeis. I think the TSWs would be a great choice for your ride.

The TSW's look good, and the weight reduction is pretty amazing. But, I really like the look of the MRR HR4's. Are you planning on selling them? I'm local!

Yea I loved the MRR's look too but just couldn't resist the weight reduction.

I'll be selling the MRR and they are loaded in the FX right now. Wanna buy?

Tried to send you a PM but I don't have enough posts here to do that. I'm interested but I don't really need them. Don't want to low ball you, PM me your price and we'll see if we can make a deal.

I like your curent setup. I've seen the TSW's in 19's on a lowered mazda 3 hatch. Looks good on a 3 but not sure how it would look on your ride. I also agree with aerobfa, lowering helps the overall look. Wheel gap.
