Thanks for these informative and helpful posts.

I've been looking for a new set of wheels for my '04 coupe. Thanks for the alert about the China wheels, I might have bought a set otherwise.

On one of the other threads I saw a member's car with Mandrus Wilhelm wheels that I thought looked great, so I've called TSW, which owns Mandrus,or one of their distributors, don't remember which, and was told by the rep that some of the parts of the Mandrus/TSW wheels are made/sourced from China, but the wheel was engineered/designed in Germany. I was also told that they come with a structural warranty to the original buyer.

Do you think the above makes any difference, i.e. would it persuade you to go with the TSW/Mandrus wheels or to avoid them?

Thanks in advance for opinions/advice.
