Default is TSW a reputable wheel company?

Hey all, i did a search for these wheels but nothing really came up :S
basically, im looking to get a set of 19s or 20s for my accord euro (TSX).
Has anyone bought these wheels before? If so what is their reputation like in the US?
Also does anyone know where i could get good prices on these wheels + shipping to australia?
For reference im after TSW Londrina, Willow or maybe Silverstone in staggered sizes 19x8 and 19x9.5 OR 20x8 and 20x9.5

thanks alot.
Christian

I would like to think so. Though they may not be the most popular brand around the import tuner market, I remember seeing their wheels all the way back from the early 90's like the VX1 or the Hockenheim. They might have been around longer than that.

But if they're still making wheels now, I'm pretty sure that they're a legit wheel company that knows what they're doing.

Is this an 04-08 TSX?

I'm looking at 18's for mine, 19's or 20's sound like it would look like wagon wheels.

TSW makes good wheels, but they're not very popular it seems. Resale value is bad which indicates it's not high in demand. For example, compare a set of enkei racing wheels, BBS, Volk, etc. and see the difference between retail and selling price. I see TSW's go dirt cheap usually.

Well a local wheel/tire shop here in the US for example sells the TSW Nogaro in 19.9.5" for less than $200USD per wheel in silver and less than $300USD per wheel in chrome for the same wheel.

Then factor in shipping unless you find a shop there that sells it locally (and has it in stock)

Wheel prices greatly vary so expect to see a wide range of pricing when you search for 19's and 20's.

I had a set of TSW volcano in chrome and the wheel was discontinued in chrome but supplied in other colors later so not bad if i went for a replacment.

One of my gramlight 57c's cracked on RSX-S So I'm about to actually pick up a used set of TSW's tomorrow myself as replacements. OP did you ever find any more information on TSW?
