New TSW alloy wheels for the UK Market

21st September 2006 Print
New TSW alloy wheels for the UK Market The UK distributor of TSW wheels, Yokohama HPT, has announced five stunning new designs which have now been introduced into the UK market. These five new wheels all offer TSW’s trademark quality, style and innovation and any car owner looking to individualise their vehicle will find something to their taste and style in the TSW range.

First up is the Holsten, an almost-full face wheel with seriously European undertones. Its smooth face features a centre-cap to conceal the mounting nuts, to give uninterrupted lines. Its stylish outer spokes provide a contrast and it is available in a range of widths, making it ideal for large saloons, particularly rear-wheel drive, that require deep dish wheels and wide tyres. The Holsten is available in sizes from 9x18in to 10x22in and in silver or chrome finishes.

In contrast, the Nogaro is a narrow, five-spoke design, named after the Japanese racing circuit, so its motorsport heritage is clear. Its five spokes are square-edged with slightly dished faces, to give a purposeful look. The spokes join the wheel rim part-way along the dish, giving it an enhanced sense of width. The narrow spokes allow plenty of air to get to the brakes and display them to their full effect, for a true motorsport feel. The Nogaro is available in sizes from 8x17in to 10x20in and in chrome or hyper silver finishes.

The Vortex is a softer wheel, again with five spokes running to the very outer edge of the wheel rim for a smooth and classic feel. The outer edges of the spokes spread to enhance the flowing lines of the wheel, while providing plenty of metal in the wheelarches. The Vortex comes in chrome and hyper silver finishes and sizes ranging from 8x17in to 10x20in.

The Mondello is another motorsport-inspired wheel, this time taking its influences from the drifting scene. It’s a double five-spoke design, with hard-edged spokes running almost to the edge of the wheel rim before a sharp corner to the join. The angular spokes give an aggressive and purposeful look and feel to the wheel, whether stationary or in motion and it is perfectly suited to cars which go as well as they look. The Mondello is available in chrome or hyper black and sizes from 8x18in to 10x22in.

Finally, the Montage is another five-spoke wheel, with chunky spokes running to the edge of the wheel rim. The spokes fan outwards as they flow from the centre cap to the rim, where they stand proud as they join. Tapered edges put more metal in the wheelarches than the outer face suggests while teardrop mounting holes give it a dynamic feel, even when standing still. The Montage comes in chrome and hyper silver finishes and is sized from 8x18in to 10x22in.

Some sizes are available from Yokohama HPT off the shelf but all models in all sizes are available as special order items. For more information visit tsw-wheels.co.uk.
