Ideally I'd like to get the Hsv Gts wheels, but I don't want to spend that kind of money especially for heavy ass 20" wheels.

I then thought I settled on some Tsw Snettertons, but the more I saw them on other cars they seem to busy. I want a staggered set and love the lip look. I go back and forth between 18's or 19's but mainly cannot find a style that I want.

Any suggestions that are sporty, classy, and mostly not ghetto?

Check his other posts. He got them on Ebay for less than $600, shipped.

I like the Sterns but they look too much like the Bmw M parallels. I'm catching enough crap from my wife. She used to have a 330I in red with the parallels. She is already ragging on me saying I'm trying to copy her old car.

Currently looking at the Beyern 5, Tsw Vortex, and Tsw Nogaro.

I like the Beyern Mesh. I just can't find them in the right size.

Look at the Tsw Snetterton, they have a nice mesh design with our sizes.

That's a pretty good site.

George,

Here is a style that is 19" x 10.5" with a 55mm offset.

Montage, right? Tsw has some very nice looking wheels, I can't seem to rule many of them out.

TSW makes lots of wheel brands including Beyern. Backside of my Beyerns say TSW. Almost all 1 piece cast wheels now come from China or Korea. Believe VQ or their parent Co. import all TSW and many other wheel brands. Anyway, thats what they told me.

The boxed 19x8.5 & 9.5 weighed 34 lbs ea. including hardware. Boxes were pretty heavy and had several layers and corner blocks. Estimate wheels likely weigh around 28 lbs ea.

Will post pix of my Beyern Multi's as soon as I receive the defective (bent) rim.
