Hi,Ok, I'm sick of looking around and I've seen a lotof wheels and designs and most just don't fit my budget.

So I narrowed it down to two wheels. The package I'm gettinginclude Kumho Ectsa 712 P215/45/17 with lugs/installationand tax (cuz I'm in Canada).

And the choices are:

TSW Sting ($2000CDN installed):

Enkei RS5 ($1750CDN installed):

Don't mind the prices cuz I've talked to a lot of shopsand most aren't going any much lower then this. And yes,I don't plan on getting wheels from US.

I'm sticking with the Enkei cuz it's in my budget, andif I can bargain down the TSW, then I will try for TSW.

Bye!

Hi,Hrm, two votes Enkei, 2.5 votes for TSW (cuz Just another 240 just isn't sure). :D

Hrm, well, if I can bargain down the TSW a bit, I'll get them,otherwise, I've got my eye on the Enkei. A lot of others havesuggested I go with the Enkei, so we'll see.

And YES, TSW is a good brand name, just like Enkei.

Bye!

TSW's are of notoriously *soft* build quality. Not necessarily weaker or crappier in any way. This is common knowledge among most reputable wheel/tire shops, although i fear most salesmen will never admit this, because tsw is generally a higher profit margin.

Go with the Enkei's, like SmithSR said, TSW's are too soft, I had a guy come into our shop about 2 years ago, he had bought a VW Bug with 17 inch TSW wheels, he kept bringing it back cause it would start vibreting for no reason, and I'd check the balance of the tire, and the wheels were generally bent up, he drives to Atlanta every day, and the roads aren't the greatest. And whenever we got him replacement wheels, they would never come in perfect, alwasy rolled funny.
