  • @iamsam8446
    @iamsam8446 6 років тому +8

    I have a set of Rouge wheels, and I'm pretty sure they're cast. They looked good new, but they seem to scratch and pit easily, and they are on the soft side. (I bent two rims on a barely moderately size pot hole.) They weren't terribly expensive ($250/each for 19"), but unless you like to keep buying new rims because you scratched or bent them, I don't recommend TSW.

    Hi, just a update on this video, I worked at GoodRoads for over 25 years and now for TSW wheels, and I want to inform you all, RUFF Racing, Status Alloys, Tuff A/T and XO Luxury wheels are going to be bigger and badder then ever. In the past 8 months We have many new styles being built for each of these brands, a few have trickled in already and 2019 is going to blow your minds with the new styles with those 4 brands. We are extremely excited, So fortunately for our brand fans, we have a bright future coming. Stay tuned.

    TSW were extremely popular with the Max Power (the UK boy racer) scene in the 1990s and I remembered them for being reasonably priced. Since then is that how they lost their place to Team Dynamics...who is also run by a racing driver

    My shop has actually carried TSW for decades. When they started out they produced many replica style wheels but now are true to their own designs. They also do have a few 2 piece welded wheels in their main lineup. However unlike other brands, TSWs 2 piece wheel offsets are already pre determined and are not customizable unfortunately.

    Corporate monopolies in the aftermarket wheel industry are terrible for consumers. I purchased a set of 3 piece forged 24s for my truck back in 2009 for about $2,500. Nowadays you are lucky to get a set of 2 piece 18s at that price.
    When few companies own most of the market they can charge whatever they want for a lower quality product.

I am currently the president of my high school car club and we are hosting a car show on March 31st 12-3 pm at the Cinco Ranch High School of Katy, Texas. This is where the weird part starts... we would be grateful if you guys could come and join us for the show! We had hosted a car show the previous year but it was rather small and had little variety (it was 90% mustang filled). I have video of the car show from last year if you are interested!

    Show some history on 3sdm. I'm interested in that brand but I don't know anything about them.
