I am completely stunned!

Finaly some nice wheels at a price that wont break the bank.... I was looking for something nice to put under my 67 Chevelle and could not come to paying (again) close to 10 grand (with tires) for a set of Forgeline's. Thing is, i could not find anything i liked or that screamed the "high end" look i want. My last experience with buying ultra expensive wheels has left me with the impression that its too expensive to build a car the way i want it and sent me back to Pro Street style.

Now, having sold my Camaro's and gotten the Chevelle (currently on Weld Aluma star 2.0's) i am stating to feel the itch to drive the car a little more and leaning to Pro tour it some (especially after seeing Chris Jacob's car!!) and that is what got me to check out some wheel...albeit some on a reasonnable budget.

Dont get me wrong, i fully understand that there is a justification for the price of a set of 3 piece wheels and i knew it when i paid for the aforementionned Forgelines in the past, i just cant come to spending so much on wheels when i can get the same look and job for a fraction of the cost... They go for anywhere from 200$ (18 x 8 ) to a max of about 425$ (19 or 20 x 10.5/11) so do the math...

Tought i'd share my finding with you guy's.

Try it out and let me know what you think!!

Here you go... http://www.tsw.com/

I like the lineup and have watched them for years. I wish they had more offerings with a lip.

I had a set of TSW's on a gto we built. They were a really nice quality wheel for the money. I will have to checkout there lineup

I understand fully about the price of 3 piece wheels as I have spent over $20k on several sets. But to me, there is no comparison in TSW and Forgeline's. But, I also further understand that's it's all about a preference. TSW's are not bad looking wheels though. :thumbsup:

Well... I have not seen TSW's first hand so i cant speak of them ( aside from that set i had about 15 yrs ago) but they we're nice then so i suppose they have not gone backwards!!

The price difference is monstrous! I mean, you can get into a set of 19"s for under 1000$... And i am a wheel freak so i am thinking that at that price, i can change more often lol!!!

I only wanted to bring this to the attention of others that might want to get the look on their project but dont necessarily have the dough for a set of expensive 3 piece.

There is a way to get a kick ass look on a budget!!!!

I don't see any offsets for older cars, you'll be using spacers for proper fitment.

If they dont fit your car you can play with spacers easily these days. They are inexpensive and are available in almost any thickness.
Be sure to get some solid billet now, dont sttle for cheap ones or it might end up being not such a good deal when a wheel breaks under power and turns your ride in the ditch in a serious curve or somtin'....

If I could get some 6 lug I'd have a set on my build already.
