SpecBGuy Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Just a quick preview. TSW Nurburgring Matte Bronze 19x8 +45 235/35/19 On coilovers, no fender roll, no rubbing yet. If I go lower, I'll need to roll the fenders. http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=99474&d=1304091544 GO lower it will look really nice. seems too high right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebarthelman Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 That's the plan. But I'll be gone for a month and a half. So I'll play with the height when I get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWerner2 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 tsw = gay not much difference from the tenzo type m Right, just a hell of a lot more durable;) TSW is a great choice of wheels for a daily driven car. I mean, they aren't VIP and Wheel Whore status but they are nice wheels. They are pretty light wheels also. I had a set of the Carltons on my old car. They got stolen once while the car was getting its coil packs replaced at the dealership. They looked really nice and held up great despite me making a stupid decision to get them in 20's. But the Carltons where Hyper Black and look pretty aggressive, not at all DUBish:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YN-TGL Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 I ended up getting the Tenzo Type M's... 18X8 +37...

mrnix321 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 These are fairly similar to the Linea Corsa LC818's I have been talking to wheeldude about, but they do not offer them in a 5x100 unless we do a group buy of 4 or more all the same. They only come in a 19" What do you fellas think? http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/img/lc818_1910_gmgrey_01.jpg http://www.wheeldude.com/wdg/ul/index.php/800/800/gallery/7204_5.jpg http://www.wheeldude.com/wdg/ul/index.php/800/800/gallery/6434_1car http://www.wheeldude.com/wdg/ul/index.php/800/800/gallery/6710_1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo03 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I like them a lot. 19's are prime for the 5th gen. Other specs please...width, offset, weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecBGuy Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 nice rims but not feeling the trunk on the IS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnix321 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 If we can agree on one they have 8.5" or 9.5" wide mold Offset would be a +45 The weight is a good question, let me ask and I'll get back to ya. They would be $1299 for the set. What are your thoughts and/or concerns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo03 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 8.5" wide would be great. I think 9.5" would require some elbow grease to fit. Price is reasonable. I'm just concerned they would weigh 25-30 lbs. I'm pretty much set on the TSW Nurburgring 19x8 +45 in matte gunmetal. They come in at 20.5 lbs. Granted it will be close to a year before I buy wheels. I just got the car so I'd like to get one summer out of the OEM tires before switching the OEM wheels to winter duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naylor Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 8.5 w/ a +45 offset will more than likely not create a concave face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnix321 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Most of the photos above, the Lexus for sure, are a 8.5." They do however have a lower offset (+30) so a +45 would not have as much concavity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearOnePerformance Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 im down for a group buy, if a lower offset is available, in 8.5", and not immediately right now hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecBGuy Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 18x9 maybe with +40-+45 18x8.5 +40 or +38 if there are 3poeple getting it ill be the 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffroLite Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 They look great! What color is the car? 18 lbs for 18x8 is hard to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew888 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 My OZ Ultraleggeras are 18.5lbs & an Enkei RPF-1 in 18x8.5 is 18.3.

legacy360 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Bump from the past. Still thinking that these are at the top of my list, and a decision will be made within the next month or so. The matte bronze looks pretty good on a silver LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppertone Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 ^^^. Depending on the size you can't go wrong with these. I punked out and had 18"s installed on my car last year. 2010 2.5GT limited is for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amidroc Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I've had mine on for a couple weeks and they look great. My gas mileage has suffered with the 19's tho!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
