I was thinking about getting some TSW rims. Does anyone have any input on the TSW rims? Are they pretty heavy? How are the fitments?

I was specifically thinking about maybe getting theTSW Snetterton's in like 18x9.5 with a +20 offset with maybe 225/40's all around. Would that fit well with a S14 without needing any fender rolling or pulling? I have Tanabe coilovers on my car. Would I be better to go with 18x8 with +20 offset?

those sizes would fit well....18x9 +20.....they wont be super flush, but thell fit nicely, i would go with a 235/40's and after looking at the actual wheel they would probably look quite good

My car will be my daily driver, so I want some nice rims with good size tires for daily driving. I don't want anything that will cause rubbing or anything. I might go for the snetterton's since they don't cost too much and look pretty nice. I don't think they come in 18x9, so it's either 18x8 or 18x9.5.

yeah i noticed that once i poted it, i would definately go with the 9.5 and a 235/40 tire, on an s14 with a fender roll it shouldnt rub

So the quality aren't that good. What other rims does Discount Tire sell that would fit S14's pretty good?
