TSW Bristol Wheels - Thoughts?
I'm not having any luck finding a set of factory black wheels that are local enough to be financially feasible. I started looking at aftermarket wheels and found some at Discount Tire that I like, but I'm not familiar with the brand, and I don't know which size to go with.
What do y'all think of the looks of these, and do you think I should stick to the factory 18" wheel size so I can keep my <3k mile tires, or bite the bullet and go 20's? |

Not a fan. I'd also stick to 18s or 19s, I think the factory 20's look a little big on Camaros.

Stick with the 18". 20" will make the the car feel sluggish.
Looks like those wheels come in stock fitting 18x8.5 et30.

I guess you guys forgot about the existence of my inspiration for wanting these wheels. Always wanted them back in the day.

At the end of the day, it will still be up to you if you want to purchase and install this wheel then go ahead. It is not everyone's favorite but it has some good reviews online.

TSW wheels are good quality. I run flow forged TSWs on my track setup. Not sure if these ones are flow forged or not.

TSW has been around for along time. I don't like that design and would go for a look with smaller webbing / spokes. But if you like them that's all that maters and i'm sure they would be fine for your car. Have you looked into powder coating your stock rims? You could save a lot of money and pick the color shade tint that you like.

I wouldn't recommend 20's. The price of everything goes up and they're more likely to blow a sidewall or bend a rim.
