Looks Great!

These quickly became my favorite wheel for the fortwo on looks, but I was really impressed when I learned that they're made by TSW-a super high quality manufacturer.

I imagine that the added rubber alone, even without considering the wheel weights/bigger rotational mass, must also add quite a bit of weight, unsprung at that - how does it impact the pick-up, esp from a stop?

Looks very nice though

How did you find out they are made by TSW? I like that company as well.

Wheels look good!

The right springs will actually improve the ride. We have installed dozens and dozens of these wheels and most upgrade to springs. We have several choices of springs available and are happy to give the pros and cons of each type if anyone wants to give us a call (562-961-6800).

By the way... We carry the largest stock of Genius wheels anywhere in the country (Discount tire included) and offer the lowest price on these wheels. We will even beat the Discount Tire price and since we have them in stock they will ship out within 24 hours.

For those of you with a Silver Trideon... We have done the middle section of these wheels in a matching Silver and it really looks sharp.

I love those wheels! Can I ask how much? Did you buy a whole package or did you have to buy the tires separately?
