Love the wheels. What would a set cost?

As SamboGroove said on the 1st page, they retail at £364+ VAT each.
A fraction of the flashier (but often heavier) 3 piece wheels.

And as I said, the main reason I agreed to get them is that the TPMS sensors fit perfectly inside them, which is not necessarily the case with all aftermarket wheels.

You say a tad lighter, do you know the all round saving?

Can't remember OEM wheel weights precisely, but here are the TSW's: Nurburgring Alloy wheels in matte gunmetal, gunmetal w/ mirror cut face, and matte bronze by TSW | www.TSW.com

There's not a lot in it, and I daresay some of the very expensive Japanese wheels (and maybe BBS?) are lighter, but not for anywhere near the price.

But unlike really cheap, cast wheels, these are more than strong enough. I'm sure Iain Litchfield wouldn't risk his life or 900hp car on anything less!

My point being, as you well know, that he uses the same wheels on his own car.

Well, I thought it was funny!

My MPSSs are sat in my hallway - no room left in the garage. My GF is particularly pleased. I suggested it meant a bit less floor to hoover, but that didn't seem to help.

Funny; but for those who have not read the whole thread, may have misunderstood.

Parcel retrieved. Photos in a separate thread in "Interior/Exterior" section shortly if they came out well!

so...are these specific for a GTR,
or do they require spigot rings.
why didn't you buy the correct size and offset for the rear?
instead of putting on spacers?
they certainly are cheap, the standard GTR alloys are £1k+ each!!

Not specific for GT-R, but I don't believe rings were needed.
No choice of offset for the rears in that size.
