Thumbs up Ever considered these TSW rims??

Looking for new rims for my 2004 6MT NBP TL. Have always liked 5-6 spoke silver rims but now i'm considering these rims: TSW Donington and TSW Croft (pics below).

Donington:



Croft:




I have usually not been a fan of rims with no lips and so many spokes but since finding this TL on Azine (pic below) i'm seriously thinking about it.

Thread link: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/rj-am-tl-56k-no-no-714086/


If i dont pick up any of the above rims i may revert back to my first pic (TSW Jarama):

I've always been a fan of clean 5-6 spoke wheels, but the first tsw's look cool. Maybe a similar looking wheel with a lip could be an option. I know I've seen them. The lip adds to the look I think. I'll see if I could dig up some pics

Before you buy the Jarma have a look at them in person ... the lip in pictures is decieving and not as deep as it looks ..

I ended going with the Axis Shine for the quality and more recessed spoke.

^^^Yup.....i have been considering those as wheel......they look good and clear brembos.

I guess i'm just trying to do something different by considering the Donington and Crofts.

^^^^Yes the Jaramas are HOT even with the small lip BUT these others have great potential (and price is decent).

Come'on Aziners...opinions/comments.....i expect to buy something in coming weeks......want to make sure i make the best choice.

Which is better??

Completely agree. The pics on TSW's website are very misleading. The sample picture is always of wheel with the biggest lip. Most of the pics show a 2.5"+ lip but unless you get a 9.5"+ wide wheel you get no more than a 1" lip. I used to want the Snettertons until I saw the 8" wheel with its tiny 1" lip in person. Didn't even look like the same wheel pictured on their site. Other than that, I have nothing against TSW. There's really no better wheel out there for that kind of money.

I'm very close to picking up a pair of Thruxtons. What size are yours? Are you happy with them?

I say get the rims I have, Privat Netz. They have the same tune fork design, but have a lip as well. They have them in black with mirrored lip and silver with mirrored lip. My dad just got the silver ones for his 7 series, and I will most likely have pics up by Monday or Tuesday. I have the black ones. Here are some pics-

I just seen those...I forgot who makes em...TSW, ENKEI, AXIS...But being that I been shopping heavy! I seen them and they were one of the ones IMO looked sweet! But, when U say NEVER FIND ANY LIKE EM AGAIN...do u mean because u sprayed them darker? Cuz that is the ONLY differentce from what I seen on the net...They have available in silver...or brushed with black backing and edges... But you set is NICE! too BIG for my taste...Definitely obvious its a 20in... But LOOKS KILLER! Bet when they are spinning its like they are CHOPPING!
