Hey guys, i saw that VQ just got the new TSW lineup on there website. and I have a SRM.

Planning on doing the 19" staggered setup, but was wondering what you guys might like better?

Just tryin to get an opinion on what people think of both on a SRM.

Thanks,
dev

Don't they make any wheels without the rivets/bolts showing?

I saw those rims too, they look good. Will the staggered setup with 19" with 8 in the front and 9.5 in the back without rub. Do you need to roll the fenders? What tire size works best?

DUDE, just PM VQ and they will let you know all the info. 235 F and 265 R is what they will suggest. And that's more than likely what you need to get, + fenders rolled. its what im doing. Just look at the Bundle packages.

Ya go with A.

Those will look sharp.

I too hate rivets.

Between those choices A for sure. SRM + black wheels = :barf: imo.

Definitely A. Cant tell if those are chrome, dont look like it, but I think you will like the lip the TSW's have.

I've had the Laguna's for a little over a year and have no problem with them. Just lookin at the Indy's for an upgrade, maybe

The first wheel is alright, the second one is not so hot. TSW also has a new wheel coming out -- Variano -- which looks much better than than of those and more at home on a GTO.

Yes - I have these on my QSM.

They look more at home probably because they look like a stock wheel with a lip. If im going drop some coin on rims, i want them to be different.

I think at most they are mildly stockish looking... and the sad truth is that there really AREN'T that many rims out there which suite the subtle styling and curves of the GTO.

I'd go with A, but the new Variano's are sexy.

Sorry to get your hopes up but they are bad a** looking. We have to have a 5X120 exactly right?

Yes, although I've heard that F-Body rims (120.65) fit with no problems.

I haven't seen them on a GTO or any car yet.I am just waiting to see them on a car before ordering,just to be sure of the finish.

When it says mirror cut face and lip,are they saying the spokes themselves are mirror cut or just the lip and outside edge of the wheel?That's what I'd like to know.
