trying to narrow down wheel choices - please help me decide
Was thinking either these AMG reps:
or
These TSWs (either machined face or matt black)
Also what would be the correct offset for either of these wheels?
Thanks

TSW Nurburgrings will save you in 19's like 8lbs per wheel. I believe 19x8.5 is like 20.5 lbs each and 19x9.5 is like 21.5 lbs each. weights are on TSW's site. the TSW interlagos are pretty sweet too and are just as light as they too are rotary forged. i'm stuck between TSW nurburgrings in matte gunmetal, they dont come in black, or the Mercedes 565 Wheels, which are pretty much the same thing but an AMG replica wheel, not sure on the weight of those.

I've been looking for something in an 18 as well since all my wheels have some scratches and I had one crack and get welded that I no longer fully trust. Doesn't seem like there's a lot out there for 18's that look good. I was gonna go with 20s but my tires went to hell and I spent the money on all new PSS 18s already now.

That is my car there ... bought it a while back but you can see the amg replicas in 18". They look nicer in person than they do in the pictures.

I think the tsw's took good for the price point. Better than the reps in style and quality I've seen a c350 dropped with those wheels and it looked good
