And valve stems, don't forget those. You'll need new ones whether you are getting new rubber or not.

The valve stems and lugs were a recommended option for the install. The hub centric rings were necessary, and included (or should have been) with the tires.

Did you get a chance to weigh those bronze beauties when you got them?

FWIW, I had TSWs (Hockenheim Rs) on a previous vehicle. I loved the look, but found the wheel to be really soft. This was quite a few years ago though, hopefully the quality has improved!

Were they rotary forged when you bought them back then?

I have no idea which lugs to get for the TSW's as the ball seat OEM will not fit - Anyone have any suggestions?

If you clear them yourself you pay no fees. It takes half an hour at customs and UPS office - one trip back and forth. UPS doesnt tell people they can clear their own packages which is what gets people all riled up when they see a huge brokerage fee.
