Not sure about quality of TSW wheels.
I know local Toyota Dealer sells camrys and celicas with those wheels.

I need to see you sometimes and take me for ride with d2 fullcoilovers ;)

don't know about the quality, but they used to be one of my favorite companies.

discount tire direct sells them LINK (http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelProductsByBrand.do?step=products)

discount tire is a good seller too, i've dealt with them before.

theyre decent quality...
theyre more of a bling wheel company imo
i wouldnt buy them for racing...
and they're pretty damn heavy as well

up to you...
i used to have a set for my old 3 series... but i got them dirt cheap at $400 WITH yoko paradas that had lots of tread on them

I had a set of the tsw evo7 on my mr2 turbo. they bent like coke cans on any kind of bump. 3 of 4 were warped in less than 10,000 miles of regular driving. and I never hit curbs with them. very weak construction.

as a comparison, I had a set of cheap ass rota tuners on an integra that spun true after taking a chevrolet celebrity from the right front corner (initial impact was on the wheel). the framehorn stopped on top of the transmission and the wheel only had niks on the outermost rim edge.

would I recommend tsw, NO!

Where do you live in Milwaukee? I'm right near UWM. Drop me an emaol if you want to go for a spin sometime. I'm still tweaking the suspension as I had to wait for it to settle and I still need a rear camber kit.

Thanks to everyone for the replies, think I'll stay away from TSW. I need something lighter and stronger for auto-x.

Just go for a set of Rotas. Light, cheap, and durable enough for auto-x. Plus they look good for daily driving.

TSW's are okay, they make OEM wheels for Toyota (sim. to Enkei & Honda) but they are heavy
