Hi, I'm planning on getting the TSW Montage in black in 19s. But, I've heard that TSW has been given the name, TSW: Too Soft Wheels. Low profile tires makes the wheels more prone to bending. I'm just concerned as we do have potholes here, don't want the wheel(s) to give first blow, preferably, none at all. But, how easy is it for them to bend? How good of quality wheels does TSW make?


Potholes

 

Lower profile tires will make ANY larger wheel more prone to bending or flatspotting. Now I'm not sure if TSW are specifically worse than other wheels, but it's kind of common the larger you go. There's less tire sidewall to protect the wheel so they take more of a hit.

 

Find another wheel.

They are too soft. I have a set of tsw revo rims,one is bent. Did a search on ebay and someone else is selling a set and two of the four are bent.

 

uh oh, just ordered me a set of TSW Vortex's :S

 

bent rims sux.

 

ive only had my TSW's for about a little over a month and everything is good...i have the thruxton's...but i dont drive over many potholes either

 

Look at these and tell me to look for another wheel...


Seriously, I can't just look for another one when these are the BEST black looking rims I have ever seen and most of the black rims I've seen have rivets, which I hate with a passion.

 

Also, I've seen these in person, and they are REALLY nice...
