TSW Cadwell Wheels?
 

So, I'm really digging these TSW Cadwell wheels in gunmetal with mirror cut face and lip. I want to go 18x8 in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear - just in case I do suck it up and go with an FI setup. Thoughts on a Raven FR-S?

TSW doesn't have a 9.5' rear in 5x100 for that particular wheel at least. If you do 'suck it up and do FI' as you say, you may want to take a look at Forgestars too just FYI. 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 F14's in matte black are in stock ready to ship with no 6-9 week wait.

Or another option would be to look at TSW's Rotary forged line up, Interlagos, Panorama, or the Nurburgring.

Good catch, I didn't notice the change to the bolt pattern. I assume I could go with an offset - or I could just hope that 18x8 in the rear is enough to hold traction.

Get some really really sticky tires and spend the money there, and you should be ok but depends on how much power you're putting down. Putting a good amount of power down on cheapo tires wont do the trick, you'll need something close to R-compounds to make up for it.

It'll be quite some time before I go FI (if at all), so I'll be putting down bolt on power for the time being. That being said, maybe going 18x8 all around - though I love that staggered look.

I think staggered looks better as well, but if you love the wheels more than anything else, doesn't look like there's much of a choice. You can always get a staggered set just in another bolt pattern and re-drill the wheels to your bolt pattern to fit if you really really want it!

Very true. I'd rather have the wheel just fit without having to modify them or anything. Shame the bolt pattern is off :thumbdown:. I'll have to figure something out. Surely someone else is running something similar.

If there is room you could always run adapters to make the rears work.

Typically those adapters are like running 15mm or 20mm spacers, likely that wouldn't happen unless you can find a wheel that has a 60mm offset so you can run around a 40mm or so. I've done the same before on other cars too, that's kind of tough without the perfect offset to start with.

I honestly think I can live with the 18x8 all around. Besides, $1500 for the set with Toyo Proxes 4 doesn't seem like a bad deal.
