Forged TSWs you say??

They're very nice, but I bet not cheap - I can't even find them for sale in the UK.

I spoke to tsw about these they are not held in UK stock but can be ordered. No word on price though they said it was down to the dealer. Shame as i really fancied these for my scirocco

ah strange this has come up again

I've got a set of VWR TD's now and weighed them with a 225/40/18 PS3 approx 2/3rds worn, they are 18kgs compared with the 19.5kgs of the first set of TD's I had, not sure why this would be the only difference being the embossed rim and no spigot ring, all I can think is the rim is thinner as it doesn't need to take the depth of the embossed part :confused:

O and the CK's aren't bad for a bling 19" rim, with a 225/35/19 PS2 they are 20kg, not sure how accurate my scales are but, all the weights I've quoted have been on these same scales :happy2:
