I happen to love the TSW line of wheels. No, they aren't multipiece forged but they are good quality through and through. Had a set in the 90's and the car rode better than stock. Anyway, I was just thinking about all the line of wheels TSW is making now and wanting to list them all. Let's see if I can get them all.

1. Beyern Wheels (BMW) www.beyernwheels.com
2. Black Rhino Wheels (trucks/suv's) www.blackrhinowheels.com
3. Coventry Wheels (Jaguar) www.coventrywheels.com
4. Cray WHeels (Corvette) www.craywheels.com
5. Mandrus Wheels (Mercedes) www.mandruswheels.com
6. Petrol Wheels www.petrolwheels.com
7. Redbourne Wheels (Land Rover) www.redbournewheels.com
8. TSW www.tsw.com
9. Victor Equipment (Porsche) www.victorequipmentwheels.com)

There's a new one exclusively for Lexus but I can't remember the name.
If anyone can remember it or think of other TSW brands, please add them to the list.
I know many of you won't be interested in this thread because you feel negatively about TSW. Again, the wheels are good quality and some of the models are actually multipiece forged. Not sure what kind of replies to expect, I guess I just wanted to share the informantion. Peace.

lumarai wheels are TSW made exclusive for lexus. They look pretty cool. I also agree that TSW makes a very nice looking quality cast wheel. They have been around longer than 90% of the companies out there and have an excellent reputation . I like their wheels designs and I like the fact that they have a large line wheels and offer many finishes on their wheels. They even have a good number of models that are available in 22". That is awesome for when I get a new SUV for the wife and new baby.

There is no other company in the market that makes as many different vehicle specific wheel lines. These guys make solid wheels for high end cars and Lexus was just added

I doubt many wheel companies have a long history like this::

When i was in middle school, I liked the TSW Stealth. I wanted them for w/e car i was gonna get. never happened.

bottom line is they have been around forever . I think BBS is the only other brand of wheel that comes to mind that I have known since I was a kid. stuff like Antera, Borbet, etc came along a bit later.

anyone remember the Antera 3 SPOKE

Yeah, I'm sure they will. Although I like the 5 spoke they introduced first. I may just get a set for a change of pace wheel.

I have TSW wheels and really like them. TSW also has a racing history in Europe with touring cars.

I am on my second set of TSW wheels and I think in the future when I need another set I will consider them very strongly. They are the best and most reliable wheel brand I have had to date. The current set of wheels is my 5th set. The other three dented in less than 2 years. TSW rocks imo
