Opinions on Touren wheels?

[Hockey]

Hey, I am about to buy and have these wheels installed next weekend and wanted to know if anyone had any experience or info on the Touren TR60/w red wheels, before I go through with it. Are these a better performance option then the Austins? I don't know much about wheel upgrades. Thanks.

What type of manufacturing process (ie: flow formed) is used? How much do they weigh?

CARID site says they're low-pressure cast, and Amazon lists the item weight of the 18x8 wheel at 30lbs. Not sure if either is accurate, but the spec sheet on the company's site (http://www.thewheelgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/3260.pdf) does not include wheel weight.

Based on the lack of information and a manufacturer I've never heard of (from their website, they appear to specialize in truck wheels for bro-truck enthusiasts who don't go off-road), I would steer clear of these. I highly doubt they weight less than OEM wheels, nor are they of better quality.

With all the low cost flow formed wheels available today, I wouldn't bother with cast. No need for a 30lbs 18x8" wheel in 2018 when you can get a 17-18lbs 18x8 that's stronger for under a grand.

That being said, it looks like that company also has a few models that are flow formed, so I'd look into those. You can also check out 720Form and Superspeed for a high-quality, low cost flow form wheel for under $1K CDN:

For a little over a grand CDN, you can look at Konig's flow formed series:

Thanks for the information. I guess those wheels are out along with the place that recommended them
