Default TSW Tremblant Wheels

Been thinking about putting 19x8" & 19x9.5" TSW Tremblant wheels on my 2007 Monte SS. http://www.tsw.com/alloy_wheels_tremblant.php
They have the proper offsets to allow them to fit exactly how I like them, right to the edge of the fender lip...how do you think these would look on a Red Jewel Monte?

Hi SSilver,
I like those rims, but I also like the stock factory rim's.

Maybe one of our Photo Shop Expert could try to create a picture of your Monte with those rim's on them. (Is it U reading this) 'if so, give it a try)

Let us know 'if you get them & the estimated cost of those rim's & tires ?

Good Luck & Happy Holidays to you & family > EnJoy

Any reason why you want to stagger the rims on a FWD?

Quite simply, because it looks good if done properly. I had 18x9" Torq Thrust M wheels with 255/45/18s on my '06 Monte and they looked sweet with the deep, polished lip...The TSW Tremblant 19x9.5" wheel has a 2.25" lip

I only put about 5k miles per year on my Monte and the TSW wheels will only be on the car from April-November, so no real concerns with rotation or performance...

I also like the stock 18" wheels, but I want something a bit different. There are very few wheels out there that look proper on a 7th gen. IMO, 20" are too big, and most custom 18" wheels look too small on a 7th gen. 19" wheels allow me to keep the sidewall height very close to stock, while the larger diameter TSW Tremblant wheel appears to fill up the wheelwells a bit better...

The wheels are currently $265 each, and the tires will be about $170 each. Estimated total with new lug nuts, TPMS sensors & shipping is ~$2000.

I will most certainly post pics when they are installed...

...So the overall opinion is the Tremblant wheels would look good if the offsets are done correctly?
