Thanks for the heads up, I truly appreciate the input from everyone here, both good and bad.
I'm still undecided about them. I like the way they look and think they will look very nice on my X, however, maybe it's a sign.......for some reason, since I put this thread up, I've gotten some feedback about the TSW and only 3 wheels showed up, no one knows where the 4th is. On top of this, I haven't heard anyone say that they haven't had an issue with them.
So we'll see. Maybe I'll keep them and be the one that can say I have TSW's without issues, maybe I'll join the ranks and say they f&*^in' suck, and maybe I'll just return them and never know. We'll see.
For those of you reading this and interested in my OEM's, here's the delay. I'm not keeping the stupid 18" donuts on there any longer than absolutely necessary.
Again, thanks for everyone's opinions, keep them coming, and I'll keep you all posted.

I dont know about the quality of them, but I know they're cheap! LOL...I used to buy TSW just to put on the cars I sell and mark them up 20%...One thing is for sure, they are EXTREMELY popular, so if you decide to sell them, youll have no problem doing so...Cant wait to see them on!

U R in Chicago? The town with 2 seasons, winter and construction? Will 20" wheels survive the roads??? Good Luck!

As you wrote and what someone else wrote in this thread, if YOU like them go for it. As with any product, if someone doesn't believe they are the "greatest" they'll knock them and only site other people's bad experiences - especially if they have some monetary connection to 'better' products. I know some people who have TSWs and they love them. No problems at all. I just wonder, those 'drivers' who damage wheels in potholes, how fast are they driving? Better yet, aren't they paying attention to the road? Ahhh, as the saying goes: "Speed takes money, turns take talent."

The couple grand you'll end up saving by keeping the TSWs, go on a trip or something. Enjoy life.

I personally would never spend $2k+ just on wheels, I've got better things to do with my money.

The rims are nice but somehow looks smaller than it actually is... Maybe it's the combination of the wheel design and color...

Would have to confirm when seeing it in person since pictures doesn't seem to do it justice.
