Many people say it stands for "the softest wheel", but just as many people say...

they have had them with no problems. Only one way to tell......go for it.

Don't know where people get their info from...>>

Everyone says they are "Too Soft Wheels" but I have never heard of a single for instance. My local performance shop who has been doing customs for a long time says they have never had any problems. I personally blew out a side wall on a pothole at 35 mph, with not a scratch to on the wheel. Many miles of hard cornering and still very happy.

Not sure what they are called, but they're 5-spoke rims

DO NOT BUY TSW - I will see if I can get a wheel out from my Z28 crash

TSW the cause. I had the TSW's on my 97 Z28 for about 3500 miles. I came around a corner (not hard at all actually) and the wheel concaved under the weight of the car. To this day I still have a suit pending with them - trying to be mediated. If I can get the wheels out of storage, I will take a picture of the two wheels that caved in under pressure. HORRIBLE WHEELS, HORRIBLE COMPANY, HORRIBLE SERVICE. <~TSW's motto!
