I know there's a lot of Vossen fans on this forum, but to slander another brand without any credible support is unwarranted. From my understanding, I believe very little separates TSW from Vossen wheels (comparing apples to apples here). I actually don't think one has a huge advantage over the other in terms of construction and price; so whether or not they are for the "budget-minded tuner" is kinda like throwing stones living in a glass house.

Personally I think the Vossen designs are more desirable, so my advice to the OP is the wait for the wheels you truly want, rather than settling because of the wait time. Personally I've been waiting since December for some of my parts, and quite frankly, I think the ETA is late April to early May.

or, instead of buying vossens or tsws, you could buy used wheels -- the classifieds section has some gems:

like these rinspeeds -- shameless plug (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/whe...s460-600h.html)

or brianlin's weds bazreias -- super baller (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/whe...0-fitment.html)

and so on and so forth. you'll find some great deals this way

I think VOSSEN stands out because of their unique designs, warranty, new fresh styles, and great marketing. I have had two sets of TSW wheels in the past and the first set was great, but my 2nd set ( TSW snettertons) rusted inside the wheel and created bead leaks on 3 of the 4 wheels. I dont know how moisture got into my wheels in a state like AZ. Needless to say after the bead leaks, and the need for a larger car because babies on the way, I traded my car in with the crappy wheels to not have to get new wheels .

I dont think tsw are bad I just think for the ls you need to step it up! thats all whether that be forged, 2 piece or 3 piece, something in that nature should represent the ls.. I like tsw but I think they lack options in sizes. Preferably I think a nice set of multi piece wheels or be get something different than what is the norm be different..

i agree, i'd like to see some more cool multipiece wheels on cars in this forum -- too many people are rocking the same monoblock or multipiece-look wheels here

I agree with these guys,i say carve your own lane go against the grain & do something different

Its nice being the only LS in ATL with Vossen CV1s, that I know of.. .the wheels just look dope lol...and as this car becomes more mainstream with folks like us who mod, it will seem like more and more folks like the same wheels...not sure how that can be avoided
