    Back 10 odd years TSW earnt the nickname The Soft Wheel (company) in the USA forums.. since then they seem to have recovered and are relatively popular so perhaps they've improved things.

    SSW, never heard of them either - concerning all the reputable (cough, cough) stores are flogging them.

    Just looking at a few sets for sale.

    Offset of +50 would stick out 5mm more than offset +45, is that correct?

    Is the stock on R and GTI +50 or +45?

    Other way - going from 45 to 50 would reduce the poke by 5mm (but also 5mm less on the inside - which can matter at a certain point for inner clearance and brakes).

    Spielberg I believe is x 8 ET50 per Cadiz, whereas GTI is x 7.5 ET51 (or was on Austin - I lost track on newer).

    Funny story time, I had a customer who complaind quire rightly that the car he had just bought had very bad steering and tracking issues and he wanted them fixed. We removed the wheels which had big offset built into them and put a set of standard wheels on and all the problems went away.
