tsw montage and victor wheels

Been looking at these wheels in 20". Price is diffentley affordable. My question is the quality of the wheels at high speed. Does any one have these wheels and what is your impressions? Pics on the car would be nice too.

Just found these pics don't these wheels look very similar in style. One is chrome and One is silver but style is close.

They are not identical by any means. I just thought they looked very similair. The techarts are five times as much as the others. That is a big difference for wheels that to me look this similiar.

Chrome techarts would look classy on a darker ie green, black and blue 997

"when youre talking high end sports cars/exotics, you get what you pay for."


I would agree with that to a point. Show me something that shows one wheels is better than the other. Then I will have no problem paying for the quality. Most people that are buying wheels have no idea why one is maybe better than the other. Just that I paid alot so they must be good. That seems like a waste of money to me. If a wheel is TUV approved which is the highest standard for wheels in the world. They have to be good regardless of the price to acheive that standard.

Also a alloy wheels will be lighter so it maybe better than cast in regards to weight, but you have to also figure on the wear quality of that wheel and how well was it made. Alot of these wheels companys are poping up all over. Without alot of testing to determine what that wheel will do at high speed you are just buying the looks and that is it. Just cause they look good and cost alot doesn't make them good. TSW has been making wheels for over 30 years. Their wheels are TUV approved and regardless of the price I am sure they are of quality. I can't say that the techarts at 5 times the cost are better. Can anyone?
