Hey. I've been really loving these wheels lately. I dont know why, but their styling seems classic these days, and I was wondering what you guys think of them. Played out? Overdone? Classic? Timeless? Let me know, and if you got pics, thatd be sweet. Thanks.

I think they look great on a MK3. Car's gotta be smooth though, and they gotta be 18s.

I think they look pretty nice. I think they have been discontinued though.

they are a good looking wheel, but i've heard that TSX's are really soft and bend very easy. TSW=Too Soft Wheel

I like the lines of the Trophies, smooth and it has shaped to it. I had them awhile back and to be honest...they never bent. My VX-1s did: 3 out 4!

I say get them if you want I didnt have a problem with them other than it went against the style I am looking for. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

I had the VX-1's on my corolla. I hit a moderate pothole and bent the rim pretty good. Still held air though.
My friend had 18x7 Trophy's and they were ok. They bent as well, after he hit a rock in the road. Also, they are quite heavy.
They're nice, but If I had the chance to buy TSW again..... I would -->

I dig 'em!
As far as them being soft... its pretty simple. If you're going to ride around on 18" wheels with 40 series rubber YOU ARE EVENTUALLY GOING TO BEND A RIM. I don't care if its a TSW or a Kinesis or a Fikse... 18"s are bigass wheels and you don't have much sidewall to soak up bumps.
I'm extremely careful with my wheels, but I've already bent 2. That's why I bought 2 spare wheels... I'm in it for the long haul

edit: forgot to mention, you can't beat the price...

Hey, thanks for the replys guys. J.\X/.K-I need permission to look at your pics. Ramone, I havent forgotten about the ADRs, I just noticed these were getting pretty low in price...and yea, they are kinda played out, but still look good. Fly-GTI-looks sweet!

"TSW" = Terribly Soft Wheel
I like how they look but have heard WAY too many people complaining about how easy they are to bend
