Default TSW Snetterton pic

Figured I'd post up a pic with my new TSW Snetterton wheels...seemed like a few people here were in the same boat as me looking for RPM R505 alternatives. Hypersilver 19x9.5 with Nitto NT555 275/30. Got them from Eric at Wheel Studio, who was great to deal with. Only thing I still want to do is get some Firebird centercaps.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm definitely happy with them. Wasn't trying to copy chaman, but I definitely liked the look of the mesh type wheels on his car. I think the HP Evos do have rivets, and I believe the lip is around an inch deeper too.

I didn't weight them, sorry. I looked them up on a couple sites and it looks like they're around 26 lbs? I may still have a packing slip or something so I'll see if that has the weight on it.

I've had no issues or rubbing with no fender mods. I'll look tonight to see if I have a pic of the front, if not I'll take one for you.
