No experience with TSW's, but I had 15" MSW Type 55's on my previous
car (a Honda Civic Coupe EX) with 195/50 tires.  I've gotta say I LOVE(D)
the looks of those wheels ... unfortunately, they weren't too robust in my
usage.  All of them ended up out of round.  Mind you, I did hit a REAL nasty
trough in the road (left by moronic 'road repair' crew) at around 50mph one
night - which I think did most of the damage.  Still, they're NICE wheels.
