Got some bad news that the wheels I ordered were the wrong offsets so the seller refunded my money. The seller thought they had the correct offsets in stock and opened the boxes to check and noticed they were incorrect. I decided to call TSW directly and some guy told me the 20" gunmetal Cadwells are out of stock nationwide. I asked when they'll make more and he guessed about 6 weeks or more but he's still not certain about that. The chrome version is in stock but they're over 500 dollars more. I'm not going to wait around for these wheels so I've come up with an alternative. I'm going to get these instead...

They're Diamo 25 Karat wheels in 20x8.5 and 20x10. They're just over $800 for a set which is over 200 dollars less than the Cadwells. Whatcha think? Good alternative?

TSW's used to come from South Africa years ago. I dont know about now but I cant imagine they are built here. I can get you MRR's if you like.

Are you kidding me?....they are better IMO then the TSW's...go for it and enjoy the fruits of your labor. How many people can say they have those esp since TSW is a popular brand (I know many that have them but in chrome or different model from the one you wanted). GO FOR IT!!!!!

On the other hand....if you have the money for the chrome and you seem to like chrome buy the chrome versions of the TSW's that you originally wanted. JMO we always have choices....and waiting 6 wks too can be of a benefit in the longer term instead of the short term gain....food for thought?

100 dollars that no one can see the size difference esp since the drop most people have is slightly more in the front then in the back....mind will play tricks on you!

Looks great 05 Mustang!

Thanks for the vote on the Diamo 25 Karat but there's yet another wheel that I also like; mainly for the fact that it has a 5" deep lip on the 20x10 and 2.5" lip on the 20x8.5. It's the Tork Icon wheel...

2nd wheel from the bottom of page.

Video of Tork Icon w/custom painted center on a Lexus. Check out the 5 inch lip!

I'm about to pull the trigger on these as soon as the guy at America's Tire gets me pricing on them. WheelsNext.com has them for $337/ea. though.

Nice bro, I don't think I have ever seen those on a stang. But I know they are going to look sick! That is cool how your going outside "the norm" and getting something you have never seen on a stang before Which offset did you choose?

That's because I'm not normal. lol

The offsets on the Tork Icon will be +40 for 20x8.5 and +40 for 20x10.
