TSW Turbine 5 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Maui · 11-12-2013, 03:19 PM

Hi there,

Thanks to the admins for allowing me, and hi to the rest of the forum!

I've just placed a order on a new red Toyota 86 for my wife ( waiting list - 4 months

) Anyway, I kinda played mind tricks with her, about the car as her choice was a Audi TT.

The long and the short of it all is that I could pick her car, BUT she would pick the wheels! So we both agreed on 18 inch wheels and started shopping around while we have to wait.
She fell in love with a TSW Turbine 5 ( I don't really like them, but a deal is a deal )

My question however is this - does anyone perhaps know what wheel this is? As I cannot find ANY info on it, other than TSW South Africa. TSW International doesn't even have something like this? I wanted to know if anyone else perhaps have seen these wheels, and on what car. I'd like to get a picture in my mind if they would work on the 86.

Any info would be appreciated.

Regards,
M

What exactly are you asking?

Maui · 11-13-2013, 02:14 PM

Fair enough!

On the forum there is a thread that is just about wheels.

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7535

Which is awesome because you get a very good idea of what the car looks like with what wheel. So if I wanted to see what other FRS/BRZ/86 look like with this wheel above, I couldn't find any info on it.

Has anyone seen a wheel like this? If YES - as what is it branded - then I can search for that name instead of a rebranded name.

I guess what I want to know is with this wheel, 225/40/18 - +35 tire, what would it look like on a red FRS/BRZ/86

Geeze, confused myself for a minute.

Looks like super ass on a Audi sadly

I knew I saw those wheels before!

Welcome to the forum! Congratulations on your new car purchase!

The tire and wheel specs will work great. 18x8 +35 with 225/40/18.

Thanks - yeah I saw that on google images search too :-P

Sadly I think you can count the pics on 1 hand!

Just tell her they're discontinued and that she has to pick something else that isn't fugly.

Please do this. These looks worse than half the oem wheels out there, including ours.

These will not match the style of the car. If anything go and get some Raijins. This will make you and your wife happy.

I'll show her this post!!!

That was exactly my thought on the looks! I really don't like them.

Thanks for the feedback.

Cheers,
