Default TSW Bathurst anyone?

Starting to look at these wheels seriously now and am curious if anyone has these or TSW wheels in general? Have heard good things but wanted to see if anyone is running them on a GS.

Named after one of the great racetracks of the world, it couldn't be bad!

I have a set of TSW Bathurst 20x10 square setup on my other car and love them, I was going to transfer them to my GS but they would not clear the front brakes. They make them in a 20x9 +30 that would clear the fronts. I remember another member on here having them.

Those definitely look good! I am wanting to stay with 19s. Any idea which version of the 19 would fit the GS?

From what I see the offer these sizes in 19's which I think would work
For the Fronts 19x8 +35 or 19x9 +30
For the Rears 19x9.5 +39
The do have a 19x10.5 but its only in +27 which I dont think will work unless you plan to do major fender work and run negative camber

I am a newbie at aftermarket wheels so although I understand some about the sizing, its minimal. Main objective is to get a 19 inch wheel that will sit flush with the rest of the car now that its lowered on tanabe springs. Pretty sure that means I need a negative offset?? Any enlightenment you can provide is much appreciated!

I had TSW wheels on my E55. They were lighter than stock and very durable. No bends and the finish held up pretty well.

The setup I am running on the GS is 19x8.5 +30 and 19x9.5 +42 and they sit flush IMO, I am also lowered on RSR Downs.. so I would say the 19x8 +35 would fine and for the rears the 19x9.5 +39 should work but will stick out 3mm more than my setup but might still work fine.. Below are some shots so you can see the how flush my fitment is also I am running the factory tire sizes 235/40/19 & 265/35/19.
