Anyone have any pics of the Bronze finish yet?

Also, where do these stack up against the 17x9 rpf1s? Think they're claimed to be 15.7 lbs for 17x9+48 (from memory, don't quote me on that)

 

Found pics of the bronze here: http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forums/2011...urburgring.html

scroll down for actual pictures

Not bad looking, but definitely not like Volks.

 

I can confirm NO rubbing on a-arms at full wheel lock (unlike a lot of other 63et 17x9 wheels which DO rub at full steering lock).

 

just as a side comment, i saw a baby ghey blue hyundai genesis coupe with the flat black tsw's. they look better in person than pics!

 

The front rubbing issues some people report with a 255/40 on our 17x9 +63 vary from car to car. One guy rubs on the narrow street 255's, another guy doing wheel to wheel racing with wider DOT R 255's has no rubbing whatsoever. What happens is that the cars vary a bit in castings and stampings. We have the same unexplained inconsistency with Mini's, Miata's Civics, etc. Exact same set up, one car rubs, the other car doesn't. Unlike an OEM fitment, there isn't tons of room top spare with a 9" +63 up front, only a scant few mm and if that car's tolerance stack uses up those mm, you have rubbing.

I suspect the TSW, having the exact same width/offset, similar manufacturing process, weigt etc, will also rub occasionally on some cars just as the other two brands of 17x9 +63 do. It's not magic.

 

Yup, agree 100%. I rub on the upper control arms at full lock with my TSWs running 17x9 +63 all around, and the 255/40 RS-3s rub the front fender edge under heavy cornering. This is with -0.5 degrees of camber with the stock suspension. I also rub the front inner fender well at the top under heavy compression. I'm hoping that stiffer suspension will cure that (ordering HKS Hipermax soon), along with setting my Comptech bar to full stiff.

So yes, I have the exact same rubbing "issues" as the guys who bought Emilio's wheels. And Emilio, I may be buying some 17x10s from you in the future. Sorry I didn't buy yours this time.

 

Interesting. I think one of the real pluses (besides the street price of $191) of the TSW Nurburgring is the fact that it fits over the StopTech 328 BBK without the need of spacers.

 

So the eternal question, will they fit Spoon calipers.

 

And are there any alternative center caps that fit? (e.g., any Honda caps?)

 

+1 for alternative center caps.

Just purchased the bronze for my 03 silverstone. I will post a pic once I get them installed. I can't even find a picture of the bronze installed on ANY car...nevermind a s2000.

Can't wait to put them on...I was looking at rims for months!!
