Default Re: Any experience or thoughts on these wheels

Petrol is a division of TSW just like Mandrus. They are made in China and look quite nice. I like the fact that it's not a fake multi piece wheel (I hate fake rivets) However, when I was modding VW's about 10 years ago alot of guy's used to say TSW stood for Totally Soft Wheels. Several guys bent them fairly easily, but that was years ago. I have to say I have never owned a set of TSW wheels. I don't mean to offend or alarm anyone that has them so please don't flame me. I would hesitate to put 19's on the front of my car (unless they were forged) in fear of bending a rim on the first hard charging pot hole I hit. I just don't see enough protection with the sidewall being only 3 inches high bead and all.
