Thread: 19 inch tsw's...should I buy? Need opinions

So I'm looking for some insight on whether to take the jump and buy these or not. They are tsw vairano gunmetal and machine finish. They are 19s and I've been looking in the wheel and tire threads..http://www.grandprixforums.net/got-s...ere-29622.html
as for to what size tires are recommended. They are only $500 and I have the bill me later for up to $500. So pretty much I'd pay around 85$ a month for them. IMO that seems pretty damn good. Also I seen someone post before they bought headers with the bill me later and received 20% off their first purchase with it..so idk If that's true or not but regardless I can spare 85 a month for them. Just looking for opinions as to what you guys think. They have 19s for 500 and 20s for 500. I don't want the 20s and they don't have 18s for the same price. I can get used 19 inch tires in the area for around $200. These rims range from $200-300 each on other websites, even on eBay for a single rim. And im hoping they arent too heavy, they dont have a weight listed per rim, what is avg weight i would want because i can email them? Also I emailed them and the 5x114.3 would fit and the offset is between what bio said in the thread up there. Also they'd give me the free hub centric to prevent from the wobbling effect. So should I do it? Here they are..

Lol no, I'd hope not! it's 4

^ same guy who gifted a large amount of money through Paypal go figure you were screwed before


There is Nothing wrong with the rim you posted as long as the seller has great feedback go for it.

Lol yeah I just emailed them and asked and it is a set of 4. Now I'm reading about the billmelater and there's nothing but bad reviews for it. So idk if anybody has done it before or not. Until then I will keep looking up info about it.

Personally i've read bad things about the whole bill me later process before when I was interested in it.

Yeah I see a lot of issues with the reviews of it, once in a while there's a good one and on more recent ones it seems a little better but still weary after reading up on it.

Spazzz, I can get $200 tires off Clist thru a used tired guy I dealt with before for some 20s, but I understand on the new tires for 19s being fairly high. And they don't have them on there for 18s, just 19s n 20s. N I remember seeing bios or someone's car in a picture by a lake or something with 19s n they looked good. We will see, there's 10 days on the wheels left and 2 sets. If its not meant to be it isn't, but no rush. Just thought they were a pretty good deal n pretty sweet.

One thing I will suggest is check the weight of those TSW I use the have a set of TSW Jarama and they were quite heavy. Not sure if that's going to bother you or not but figured I mention it.

Yeah they look good on that and thanks for reminding me, I need to ask the weight of them. Why don't you have a members ride btw redcompg? Haha I tried looking but couldn't find it.

Spazzz I hear ya on that lol thanks

Hmm never got around to making one lol car doesn't look like that anymore haha

Weight wasn't a issue for me while I was running them but when I destroyed those TSW I looked to go lighter and lean more toward performance.

Lol back to stock or not even driving anymore? Thanks for the help

Yeah, weight doesn't bother me either, just on my members thread people said stay away from bigger wheels for tranny purposes, and that's why I was leaning toward the 19s rather than 20s, ik it's only an inch difference but IMO I can't find any smallers that I like. I just don't like the bigger profile looking tire on aftermarket rims.

Lol stock is wack!! It's sitting my driveway did a bit of a build on it and switched some things up.

Lol haha. I'm interested in seeing whatcha got now lmao. I just wanna see other red gps in my model to get some insight

Don't drive like a jackwagon and you'll be fine. I think I put around 50k on them and never had a issue up until I hit a pothole. I wanted a beefier tire since the roads around here aren't the best and spending $1k at the time for the TSW I didn't want to destroy them. With a drop 245/45/18 it looks fine.
