I will check out Wheel Repair Solutions in Carrollton, their website looks good and the facility is clean. It looks like they do it while you wait, which would be great. I will go there Monday.

Lee TSW is one of the companies I've been looking at for wheels. So far what I've found is they are made in China, some SOME people have reported the wheels cracking (these are mostly guys who race them, I've heard them call "The Soft Wheel" company), and that they are VERY light and for the price you can't get a lighter set.
No personal experience as of yet, just what I've gathered through my research so far.

Wonder what their warranty states? I don't really do any real track racing so I probably wouldn't have much trouble. But would be interesting to find more about them.I did see that the one I'm looking at the Interlagos are a fully forged aluminum wheel based on the F1 racing and not cast aluminum, so maybe they will be good.
I think I will get them and be the guinea pig

I hadn't heard that, however I did learn they are light weight, for mine the 18x 9's on the front weigh 18.9 lbs and the 19x10.5 on the rear weigh 23.9 lbs, that is lighter than my Fikse's Wonder what their warranty states?

You may also want to look into http://www.forgestar.com/v2/wheels.php
They are an american company, wheels made here too. Little more expensive but still relatively cheap. These were the other company I looked at. I liked them because they are still very light, made in America. They have a few more wheel choices, and many more offset/size combos.

JMO, never been big on dark colored wheels, it just depends on the look you want, the black does make it look like you want to race where polished aluminum, chrome or satin finishes look expensive.
