Just my 2 cents but a Wedsport SA55m, even a Forgestar concave F14 (not made In Japan) or Work kawami concave to me are all much sexier wheels.

Similarly priced? For the set hes lookin at is around $1200. Depending on the set of forgestars, he can end up around the same price (within a couple hundred). The Kiwamis are around $1900 and and SA55m's are around $2100. Forgestars definitely over TSW's if he is willing to spring the extra cash that he would be saving for spacers anyways since forgestar lets you pick the correct offsets you want/need.

Word of advice, if your gonna order Forgestars be very patient and willing to wait.

I've been waiting since Thanks Giving. Hopefully they will be here soon.

I would have started shooting if I was waiting that long... They for sure forgot your order, LOL

EDIT: you're in Guam, I bet they shipped using THE slowest method

No it's supposed to be shipped USPS priority that's what I paid for. Also they just finished like last week so I'm waiting for pics and a tracking # from Getyourwheels.com.

They should of shipped out yesterday or sometime today.

This is the longest I've ever waited for anything but I know it will be worth it...

I would say the Forgestar and Work to me are close in price, yes the Weds are a little more but the point I was trying to make was for not that much more money you could rock a much better wheel...
Also he could go with an 18 inch Weds Sa55 or tc105n for close to that price for the TSW...

Not to call you out but where are you researching your prices? I'd love to find a set that cheap as I am running on TC105ns and paid $2200 for my set. Point me where you are finding g the SA-55s for $1200 and I'll buy a set right now for my daily set and keep my TCs for track use only.

I will take a look at some of those other brands that everybody posted, thanks for the suggestions!

I really just like the look of the TSW ones and the fact that they are rotary forged AND such a low price really makes them stand out, not to mention I have read some good reviews of the interlagos and nurburgrings. I have a set limit of what I am looking to spend on everything and different wheels for a different price means I will have to change some stuff around, but I am not totally against it.

If I by some chance I cannot find anything else that would tickle my fancy, what size spacers would you run? A huge discussion of what brand and prices was started but the original question was skipped

Once again, thanks for the help and opinions everybody!
I really appreciate it.

Please dont mistake rotary forged with the actual forging Rays/Advan etc use.

Im just saying save your pennies and get a more reputable wheel. Just my 2 cents and looking out for a fellow Z owner.

Im just saying they are similiarly priced. I have received quotes for SA55s in 19s for the price you paid and the TC105n was slightly less then that...

Maybe my view of similiarly priced is different.. To me a set of 3500 dollar wheels and 4300 dollar wheels are similarly priced.

A set of wheels for 1200-2100 to me are similiarly priced im just saying + or- 1000 is close enough for me... Im used to paying a 1000 for one wheel so a couple hundred more for the whole set sounds small to me... Sorry for the confusion in my wording.

I believe Ravspec or Vivid gave me those low prices above

And you better not be calling me out! lol
