Quality of TSW Wheels?

I have a new 07 Silver TL-S. I saw a picture of a TL with 19x8 TSW Mondello and thought they looked very sharp. I also like RH J5 Pro but out of my price range. I also thought the Axis Xenex Muse looked great, but they are discontinued. Hows the quality of the TSW wheels? I like an aggressive open style wheel. Especially a 5 spoke or 5 split spoke-10. I like the stock 18" wheels on the 07 BMW 335i w/sport pkg. Just to let you know my taste. Hell, my old 06 TL had nice looking wheels. I wish Acura made that rim in a 19" version. Thanks much! Jeff D.

The TSW Mondallo looks very good. I don't know how good they are but they look sharp on TL. Have seen the Axis Shine Gunmetal with Machined Face and Polished Lip
[Axis.Shine.19x8.5.5x100.35.73.mgmpl] 19x8.5 $340.00 each ? I also like those

Mine are 19"x8 Exel. They are not bad but now if I were going to buy wheels I wouldn't buy these at all. To me the car looks wayyyy to busy with these wheels.

I used to have exel wheels on my accord when I had it, but they bend easy and I had to have them balanced weird to compensate for the bend in them. Hence, I will never again purchase exel wheels.

But in answer to your question TSW wheels are the stuff, they are tuff and will do the job to improve looks while providing years of faithful service

I appreciate that VERY MUCH! I have been waiting for an answer. PLUS they are priced reasonable. It seams like every time I find a wheel I like, there $450+ each I want to spend about $2k tires & wheels. SORRY, I have MAX Visa Debt I am having the A-Spec body kit put on soon, ordered it this morning. ASM 07 TL-S.

I've had TSW wheels before, they are excellent quality and looks for the price - I'd recommend them any day.

I've had the 19" Mondello's for over a year now. They are definately tough wheels but fairly heavy. No major problems with them except that I ran over a pothole on the highway and bent the lip. Still driving on them fine but my ego is more damaged than the wheel. I got them cheap on discounttiredirect.com. You should check them out.

What color is your car? Maybe it was your I saw them on. How heavy are they. My price range for wheels only is about $400 max. If I see one that takes my breath away (like a few that aren't made anymore ) I will spend more. J.D.

^^ my friend has TSW's on and when his front tires popped, he was riding on the tsw's for a lil while until he found a safe place to pull over and stop. He told me he did not even have a scratch/bend on the wheels.. go figure.. these are some tough wheels..

THANKS I keep getting mixed opinions. SOFT? Every wheel company says WE are the best. SO word of mouth between us guys is the only real way to figure whats good and what isn't. I really like a few TSW wheels, great looks and good prices. I wonder about the weight?

I've got a SSM. As for their weight, I think it was like 51lbs with the rim and tire. I think they weight about 29lbs for just the rim.
I get plenty of complements on the rims. I paid $400 for each rim and tire so it was pretty much an easy decision for me.
