Do these wheels come in a 17" version? The 18s seem to be on the heavy side.

Yup. They come in 17x8 too. The 18x8s are 18.75lbs or so though. That's still lighter than the stock wheels.

I almost went that route until everybody started getting these, they would look good though in my opinion.

What I really want to see is the matte gunmetal ones on Ultramarine, but I may have to be the first.

Cool thanks, the mirror finish isn't my cup of tea it turns out. The bronze looks great on the Hot Lava, and the Gunmetal on the argento is pretty nice as well.

I agree I have a whiteout and was set on the mirror finish until i saw those pics. I think the gunmetal looks best out of all the finishes though.

CWO also had a killer deal on these wheels on eBay and they shipped quickly via UPS.

FYI, if you purchase from CWO, call them and let them know what car you have so they can add the hubcentric rings with your purchase.
Quick question. Did the stock lug nuts fit?

I didn't use stock lugs, but I think they would fit. I used McGard Spline and lock nuts m12x1.25 nuts.

Photoshopped onto my car. What do you guys think?

I wish the rims were a tad less shiny, but I guess I can always powdercoat them in the future. I can get them for slightly cheaper than the Enkei Raijins, which I like in gunmetal (not as dark as the TSW Matte Gunmetal). Plus, the TSWs are about two pounds lighter.

Honestly I think the Interlagos would look better in silver on that color. I know its not the same mesh style wheel but thats just my opinion.

Does anyone with possible inside info from TSW know if they will make these in 18 x 9 in the 5 x 100 pattern. I keep looking at other wheels and just keep coming back to these for some reason. I love them. Just want to put 255's on my car.
