imo the tsw's are way lighter then the amr's and they are not a replica as far as I can tell. I'd prefer to have the tsw's because of that.

I like the matte gunmetal offering they have.

The black wheels with your car would look bad-***.
Blue stripe, huh? Interesting.

Get the matte gunmetal from TSW, they are forged and lighter than the AMR wheels which are cast.

Hey Mike, good to hear from you!
Yeah, I like the grabber blue.. basically the same look as the lethal performance gt500.
I'm leaning more towards the black wheels, then upgrading the brakes to brembos and painting the calipers that same grabber blue for accents.

I've always kind of felt the same way.. 18s for performance and 20s for looks. Never had much use for 19s. But I want a standard 8.5/10 staggered setup, so I figured, might as well go big if you're doing it. Do you think it'll really affect performance that much?

If you are going to do the brakes, make sure the wheels clear the calipers....I'd do 19's too if I had to do it again.

I had 20's on my 06 and the ride was harsh. I now have 22's and it feels like I have my stock 19's still on, it still rides smooth.

I 'd go with the Gunmetal/Charcoal.

How much are the differences between ride quality and performance in 18s, 19s, and 20s? I've heard that it mostly comes down to how much your wheel weighs and how big your tires are. But then, I've only had the stock 18 bullets to ride on so far.
