TSW's new 2005 line up - the Catalunya

Hey guys, anyone know anything bout these guys?


they look really nice, comes in alot of sizes. I wanted to get either these or rota grids in 16x7

anyone know the weight of the TSW's? how is the quality of TSW rims? how's the construction of the rims compared to forged rims?

Not really new been around for a year or so...TSW makes nice rims and as far as there stregth i think there as strong if not stronger than 2pc forged wheels. Seen many ppl bend the 2 or 3 pc forged and hardly any single peice alumium or forged. That is by hitting a pot hole etc.

My first set of wheels were 17" TSWs. They looked good enough but they were HEAVY, and I mean really heavy. Being that heavy you would think they would have been strong but they bent!! Personally I would go for the Rotas, but maybe that is just because I had a bad experience with the TSWs and no experience with the Rotas other than knowing they are light.
