Check out these new style rims from TSW
Hey, saw these on a Jetta I valet parked last night. I had to look em up. they are the new Thruxton Rims from TSW. I think they might look SICK on a thridgen, especially lowered with some 275's wrapped around em. What do you think? would they even fit in the 18x9.5 size? ALSO- I would love it if someone would do a photoshop with these on one of our cars... I don't have photoshop anymore. Thanks!

+20 to +42mm
Bolt Pattern
5 Lug

P.S. would be LOTS of brake clearance, judging by the jetta with aftermarket wilwood brake calipers that were on with PLENTY of room left.

not bad wheels, but made for imports. I don't think I saw anything wider that 7.5in wide? Not good enough. Up to you though

As far as the widths go, 10 inches is as wide as that style offers (yes, it is the 20" rim, waay too tall for me), not 7.5. Is that why you say they are made more for imports? or because of the material in the rim itself compromising strength? the 18X9.5's would fit pretty good, and you can fit 275's no sweat on a 9.5 rim.
Personally, I would buy a 16" tall rim, by like 11 inches wide, if I could find one. Less unsprung weight, and a 335 50 16 would be a very wide tire. I like the idea of the ZR1 rims, especially 17", but I am not a big fan of the way it looks. Anybody Know of something else out there in 17X11 size that has some lip on it like these thruxtons?
Bolt pattern is a 5 lug. Not sure if it would fit our lugs, but worth calling them about.

Those are the wheels that I'm puting on my Formula . I'm swapping out the rear end fot one out of a 4th gen , Getting 18x8's for the frt using adapters and 18x9.5 for the rear direct bolt. Have to use the BMW 5x120 bolt circle tho. If any one is interested in Tsw wheels let me know. I buy direct from them. You can E-mail me @ sales@selecttire.com .
