With forgestar you can select custom colors and offset. With TSW you are getting preset fitments with 2-3 color choices.

Pretty much custom tailored to your car for the price of cookie cutter wheel setup.

Yes, good points, can't believe I forgot to mention that. But the TSW's do fit the S550 perfectly, so not that big of a deal in terms of offset. The color choices are nice though.

Assuming you mean TSW. That's because TSW are a bigger company and they are VERY nicely priced for the quality and weight. One of the top bang for the buck wheels, just like Enkei. Forgestars are also competitively priced compared to others such as Vossens. For example, cast Vossen wheels cost more then forgestars which are flow formed.

Not sure what you are expecting, you are not going to get a high quality wheel for XXR prices.
Sorry bout that, was referring to true forged wheels, their chicanes started this whole ordeal. Up to 650$ per wheel is not a bad price.

So, you want a forged 2-piece under 650 per wheel?

it has an engine!
Her expectations are completely unreasonable. She complains about forgestars costing roughly 1500 for a set yet thinks trueforged is remotely close? Yet swoons over meh volks and considered them? Lololol. Go buy rotas if you want to be a cheapskate.

For example im deeply in love with tfw chicanes/sebrings, black center, polish lip, maybe color matched bolts and i have a deeeep deeep deep fetish for stepped lips.
Anything like that thats forged seems to be over 4000$
Any lightweight alternatives?

P.s. i dont like a single tsw design
Am i the only one who has no idea what TFW chicanes are? I found TSW chicanes which are cast wheels not forged. but you mentioned you don't like any tsw wheels. maybe I'm confused :headbonk::headbonk::headbonk:

Yeah she started out really cool, but she's fading fast. If in fact it is a "she"

Ok.. lets clear this up.
1. I did not see true forged wheels anywhere for 650
2. Im not expecting forged wheels for 650 a pop. Im looking for an ALTERNATIVE. 650 a pop is still 2600$
3. point me to a set of forgestars that go for 1500$ what i saw was 1500 per wheel on the one i liked. And thats close or over than true forged
4. Mistang_guy youre a forgestar fan, great, i find them meh. I like volks, why is that a problem?
5. Im a chick, do i have to post my birth certificate? My drivers license? Does it matter? This is why you dont see women in forums.
6. I dont like tsw wheels. Why is that such a crime?

I asked for help, does that have to mean i have to pick one of the choices right away? Isnt that proof enough im od the feminine gender btw?Tell me your options and if i dont like it you dont have to have a hissy fit. I have been nothing but polite and respectful , if i have been wrong about a price or something you can correct me and POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION no problem. But blowing a fuse because i didnt go out running to buy f14s doesnt help anyone.

And hey if me liking volks, one of the lightest, best made wheels on the planet, makes me an "uncool" girl then im uncool. F it.
