Default TSW Wheels

Anyone run these? I was really looking at the Indy 500's. Not sure if I'd go 17X 8 in the front and 18X9.5 in the rear or 18X8 in the front and 18X9.5.

I run Jaramas, I was going to go with the 500's, but when I saw them in person, they seemed too plain for my taste. Sizes are in my sig.

Thanks man, the car has konis/stranos, UMI suspension, boxed subframes, and watts link. The ride isn't bad (switched for bilsteins/prokits, which was definitely more harsh), but definitely alittle firmer than if I went with smaller wheels. I was debating between 19 and 20, this is my 2nd set of 20's. I wanted a staggered look with a nice lip on the rears, so I went with the 20's, I think its all about wheel design if you try and go larger than 18. I love the 505's as well, just didn't feel like spending that much money on the wheels. The quality of the TSW wheels is definitely better than the enkei's I had previously. My only compliant is that I wish they offered the rears in a wider width, but for the price its hard to beat and I can always have them widened later if I want to keep these wheels.

IMO, go with 18 x 9.5's front and rear with the +45 offset, they'll fit great!
Also have you looked at the Strip in black, or the Stowe in black or silver(same size and offset)?

Strips don't look bad, not sure how well Gunmetal and NBM go together though.

I know you said sizes were in your sig but I can't seem to find them. What size and offset are these. I'm looking to going with the 18x9.5 with the +45 offset and I'm hoping they have a lip like your rears
