what handling characteristics are you trying to achieve by running staggered?

They're pointless without barrels and centers.

Anyone have an opinion on TSW wheels? Local guy is selling 17x8 with a 35 offset. Gold with machined lip.

I like those i was looking for the 18's myself in that color but they were discontinued. Make sure they are 5x100 and go for it

Forgot to mention, how does swapping the TPMS over work?

They are in the valve stem so you will have to get them out of your old wheels and mount in the new wheels, any tire shop shouldn't have a problem.

I love the 527, I sold my set because they were too aggresive for the fr-s. But to be honest, I see them everywhere! If that doesn't bug you, go for it. But I feel like any meet or show I attend I see atleast 3 cars running em. I say try and find a set of used higher end wheels in good shape.
