Guest Illah Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 So I just got an all stock 1994 TT and plan to basically keep it that way, save for wheels and fixing up the stereo a bit. Not looking for a tuned out monster, more of a fun weekend car. Did a bunch of reading on the merits of wheel size, weight, and super low profile tires, etc, and seem to think 18" rims are a good compromise of looks and avoid the pitfalls of super low profile tires on 19" rims. So, I really like the look of TSW Snettertons (pictured below on a Lexus) but hear very mixed reviews of TSW...heavy, soft, etc. Now realize I have no intention of racing or even driving the car very hard, but the nerd in me doesn't want to hurt accelleration if I don't have to. Right now I'm riding the factory 17" rims original to the car, what kind of weight difference would I be looking at with 18" Snettertons? --Illah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Got a picture of your car? Someone might be able to photoshop a couple of options for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Illah Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Will have one tonight - Photoshopping is my plan ;-) I'm actually a web guy by day so I can handle the shopping myself, but I'm more worried about whether the rumors on TSW wheels being like 30+ pounds are true. And how much it *really* matters for a car that isn't going to be burning rubber on a track. It's an anthracite 1994 TT MKIV though, bone stock, including the old ass wheels :-) --Illah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
