The new TSW Sochi

These are the recently released TSW Sochi, rotary forged, gunmetal w/ mirror face, 5x4.5/114.3 bolt pattern, Front: 19x8 +35, Rear: 19x9 +32.

What do you folks think?

I agree with BL. The rims looks good and go good with the flow of the car but a mild drop would really set it off!

the wheels are nice, I am personally not a fan of 5 spokes on these cars though. They just dont look right to me. Definately agree with the drop idea though, no matter what wheel!

Drop

Thanks for your thoughts.

I would love to get a drop, but with the snow here in the midwest, I need every inch of clearance I can get!

Looks great!
Great looking style, light, strong, and well priced, gets all the marks.

I've sold quite a few, but not all the sizes are available yet.

So, they are planning to release more sizes? I should have waited. I was wondering why they only had 19x8.5 ET 20.

W/ Drop

I finally took your advice and got a mild drop. I used the Swift Springs 4N911 for G37x coupe.

I also switched the fronts to 19x9 +32 w/ Michelin PSS 245/40-19 all-around.

These TSWs replace 19" Stance SC-5s. I loved the look of the Stance, but now I've started doing autocross and those were too heavy. Plus, the SC-5s appeared a bit small because of the chrome lip. No such problem with the Sochi.
