What do you guys think?

I was looking around at rims tonite, and ran across these. I figured I would see what you guys think about them.

They're 19" XXR 518's, and I if I were to get them...they would get powdercoated OEM Type-S color.

Here's a pic of my car if anyone wants to perform some photoshop magic

Of the two, TSW's FTW. The only thing I'm worried about is the weight, but that's just me. Even though the site says, "The Donington is built to TSW's strict manufacturing standards while maintaining the lightest possible weight", all wheel manufacturers say that.

Oh...I get it now. You meant to say, "I'll be honest, I like the 2nd one."

Got it.

Princelybug...is it your car that has the "latrevo" tag? If so, that has to be one of my FAVORITE NBPs up here. What suspension setup do you have?

those TSW's can only fit with spacers. I talked to someone that sells them. I like them too and I think they would look good on your car.

Yeah, that's me, but it actually says, "LATREUO". Thanks for the compliments!

My mods are in my sig, or you can click on my garage.

But to answer your question, I'm on H&R Street Performance coils. There's only a select few of us on here with this setup.

between the two, xxr is more agressive than tsw. I like xxr's design more than tsw's.

Of the two you've posted, I like the XXR's. But, my personal preference would by neither. If you got some spacers, you could buy my wheels.

I don't know what other susp mods, performance mods you currently have.

But... I wouldn't drop that amount of money on rims at this pont. I would rather have high performance susp mods before any thought of new rims.

I would look into Koni Yellows w/ A-Spec springs, or H&R springs, coilovers, ect. Wider UHP tires for the stockers, RSB, ect.

Light Weight rims are a high performance suspension mod.

(So to speak)
