Very nice setup, those TSWs are a nice looking wheel and the 245/285 combo fits like a glove.

Nice wheels. If it were me I think I would do spacers on the front to even it up a bit.

But great look either way!

That looks similar to the Niche Essen, wonder which wheel is better.

Essen - M146 - Niche Wheels

The TSW's are about 10 lbs lighter because they are a rotary forged wheel

You can't possibly mean ten pounds at each corner. Is that what you're claiming? And while flow-forming is a better manufacturing technique than casting, it's still not a monoblock forged wheel, or 2- or 3-piece forged construction, so... bragging rights, but barely.

Regardless, they're very attractive without being too blingy. Your car looks great with them on and dropped on swifts.

I also sense a bit of exaggeration. It's probably more like 5 lbs per wheel. 25 lbs for the TSW's and 30 for the Niche's.

As a side note: Most multi-piece forged wheels are actually pretty heavy - almost always heavier than a rotary forged wheel. Quality monoblock wheels will usually only save you a couple pounds when compared to a rotary forged wheel (sometimes 1lb or less) but will typically add another $500-$700 per wheel to your bill.

Disclaimer: While I feel my statements are based upon facts, I feel obligated to state I use rotary forged wheels as well. lol
