Hi all, first of all i would like to say thanks for the responses in my other threads about wheel size decision. Because of that, ive been able to decide on sticking to 17 inches, and around 7-8 width.

My preference looks-wise is between 3 wheels,

TWS T66-F 17x8 - argueably the most exotic and beautiful of them all, with good weight at around 14 lbs only for an 8 width!

BBS RF 507/504 17x7.5/7 - the 7 is 14lbs, and the 7.5 is 14.5 lbs. also a beautiful wheel, looks quite OEM, plus the cool PFS hub rings. I also have the impression that this BBS should be more durable for DD than the TWS.

Oddball: Rota Titan 17x8 17.5 lbs. for the price of one forged wheel, i can get a set of these. I chose against wedsport tc105 because for the price of tc105 id rather add and go forged. With titans, id barely feel the weight savings and theyll probably be more for looks than anything functional.

My question among the three is that how will they impact my DD ride? How durable are they 3 by rank? Any downsides to the TWS vs BBS and vice versa? I have this slight feeling the tws was specifically designed for track whereas the bbs was a dd and track oem wheel
