I've heard that they aren't for sale anymore
For all i know TSW isn't bad, it is a very strong rim but it also weigh a lot...
The color is a color from VW


ps, everything is for sale you know

Cactus: Nice - I'm amazed at the difference the Konigs and the aero sideskirts make.

Trip: Those look excellent! Closer or side shot please!

No, it isn't an S, I wish it was To tell the truth it is a humble One, less powered sister of the Cooper for the European market

Which if you think of it has two sides you can look at it from, with a simple tune you can gain 30hp which for a NA engine is huge, but after you do, you'll still be at a Cooper power level...
