If you do, would you post a side pict of the wheel? (from behind the car or
from the front of the car)

I want to see how far the spokes stick out from the rim around the hub.
Some TSW wheels are known to have spokes sticking out far from the rim
and i dont like that.

thanks.

i think they may have discontinued those but they have their new volcano and some others that look nice. does weight matter to you because TSWs are known to be very heavy, yet strong quality wheels.

Thanks for the feedback. Im looking for 16's (can't seem to find 17's that i want).
I check out TSW's site, and unless they haven't updated their site for a while, it
still looks like the Apex is in their line up.


As long as the wheels are less than 20lbs, that's fine with me for
a gravity cast wheel. But the offset of 40mm might not be too good..
Planning to wrap some 205/50/16's maybe Ziex512's.

The knockoff of the TSW wheel is the Rota Action, R-speed carries these in 17" sizes if I'm not mistaken.

Yah, the actions are cool wheels...but not for my mcs.

I want something that is subtle and almost factory looking.
