TSW

TSW wheels are born of a rich racing heritage. Founded by a former Formula One racing driver, TSW has been involved in motor racing around the globe for over 30 years. Such involvement has ranged from the 24hours of Le Mans to Touring Cars to Spec Miata.

Many of the wheels are based on racing technology. The 19" Pin-Drive was conceived on the track and uses a true race style centre lock nut and two-piece construction that allows for variable rim widths. TSW pioneered the race inspired hex nut look that was featured in designs such as the Revo and Hockenheim R, which have been a popular choice for both grass-roots racing and show cars. Today, TSW has one of the largest selections of staggered applications in the market. Many sizes carry as many as 3 different widths for the perfect tire fitment.

TSW wheels are manufactured to extremely high standards that often significantly exceed the industry norm, resulting in a smoother, better handling ride. The new high gloss silver paint finish (hyper silver) gives the wheels a remarkably bright, glossy appearance. Several designs are also available in the highly popular hyper black and hyper silver finishes.
