These have a very similar look to the TSW's and RTR's at a much lower price. Just wondering if they are garbage or heavy boat anchors. I found them on Discount Tires' site. I can't find any info on offset or weight. They are 19" and have widths listed from 8", 8.5" and 9.5"

Obviously to each his own, but for me, if I couldn't run more meat on the back, I don't see a huge benefit to changing wheels. But, they are really nice looking.

I've got an 8" wide rim now with a 245. The 9.5" rim could probaply take a 285 I think. That's a significant difference to me. Anyway, wheels make a big part of the car's personality.....and as it is now, mine has little.

I stand corrected. 285's would be a marked improvement.

All the data on the wheel is listed on that page you posted -- 19x9.5, 5-114.3 bolt pattern, and 40mm offset. That's the way Discount posts them.

Wow these look good!

One question I had though, I was looking at running the 9.5's out back with either a 275 or 285, and an 8.5" in the front with a 245 more than likely.

Here's my question. They list 2 different backspacings for the 8.5" wheel, 20mm or 40mm. Which would make more sense for my car given that the 9.5" is a 40mm backspace?

Sorry if that seems noobish, but I always get myself confused with backspacing lol

So is it a no rotate situation when you go with a staggered setup?

40mm on a 9.5" wheel is the correct offset.

Figured I would bump this and post a pic of my car with these wheels on it. I went with a staggered setup (9.5 wide out back, 8.5 up front) not running brembo's so the 8.5 up front was no issue. They fit great and they look awesome. Just a note when you buy these definitely get the install kit as the stock lugs will not fit with these wheels (they will but you won't get the socket around them).

Here's the pic:

I like em, look perfect your all black look. I had the same problem with OEM lugs on some aftermarket wheels, TireRack supplied some Gorilla lugnuts and they worked fine.

Glad to see you like these wheels! I'm looking at the Drag DR-31, 18x9, and I'm planning on Nitto 555's with them for summer use.
