Not a fan. Look to much like the old GT500 wheels that were just awful.Love the bottom SVT wheel.

Weird thing is I love the pics of just the wheels but on the car I can't stand them. Maybe it's because of the car they were featured on?

I don't see the resemblance to 07-09 GT500 wheels, I thought they were replica RTR's at first.

You might as well get the RTRs if you like the TSWs

Similar style, BUT the TSW Nurburgring have a few things the RTRs don't. Multiple sizes/widths (18", 19"), and a variety of finishes. RTRs seem to be only available in one size, width, and finish.

Not sure about weight of RTRs but the 19" TSWs are reported to be very light for their size/price. I believe a 19"x9" is about 23 lbs.

Buy 5 or 6. TSW's don't have the greatest reputation for strength...(Too Soft Wheels)

Sadly when I hear a 19x9 wheel weighing 23lbs and costing $296 I do start to worry..

I doubt a 19x9 is 23#. Also, don't forget it depends on the style -- different styles weigh more or less.

For example, this PDF has TSW Bremma, 19x9.5 weighing 32#
http://www.wheelweights.net/wheel-weight-weight.pdf

The Bremma is no longer made, but I couldn't find any current weights in my brief searching.

For reference, it also has the TSW Hockenheim, 18x8 at 25.5#

I think the SVT wheel is forged:

For reference, 19" Volk forged wheels are usually around 20-22".

Not sure if the SVTs are the same though, but I would expect them to be pretty close.

RTR's may have some questionable offset issues.....rear wheels seem to stick out with just 275's on them.
