TSW pin drive wheel question

[darolh]

My brother just bought a 5G Si with 16" TSW pin drive (centerlock to us old farts) wheels on it.

Questions:

Has anyone had problems with them working loose ever? We used to be paranoid about cenerlocks on the race cars I wrenched on.

Do they have any corrosion issues? I'm going to get him to put some grease in ther to keep aluminum from gluing itself to the steel/iron.

Centerlock=Wheels that have one nut hold them on instead of lug nuts?

Are you sure they are real and not those rims with the fake cover that actually has lugs under it?

[darolh]

They are the real deal. Not fakes. I haven't seen them yet in person. Very interesting howwever.

that's pretty cool..I've never seen those before...or maybe I have and just assumed it was cap...

[red4thgencivic]

uhh....says they only have them for five lug apps. do they have five lug adapters on his hubs too? if they have adapters they're going to have to stick out pretty damn bad like at least an inch.

Anyway back to the issue...No there's no problem with them backing off, as you can see there are locking pins in them, even without those pins there are no problems. My family plays around with shelby mustangs and the "R" models as well as the shelby cobras came with Halibrand knockoffs which were true hub-centric wheels, never once have we had one come off.

only problem i had was a dumbass at a shop breaking one of the lock pins

[FourthGenHatch]

Even if there was an adapter it wouldn't stick out an inch as long as the offset of the wheel was made to compensate for that.

[red4thgencivic]

Yeah I guess the backspacing could be taken into consideration. Most people wouldn't think of that though...not people on here but most people it wouldn't even enter their mind.

[FourthGenHatch]

Yeah but I gather that thing only works with that one particular set of wheels, so TSW already figured it all out.

Those 15" are not real at least that is what I think the only TSW pin drive are 19" model ZENON you can see them on Parotech accord!
I was lookin for them but the only ones that had pindrive was those 19"

This is probobly the thing that you've ordered:





The image of parotech accord with those ZENON rims:




But if I'm wrong and they did started doing them in other versions not just 19" I'll 100% buy those pin drive FURY

See yaa

I've got plenty of experience with splined knock offs (one of my cars has them). I've also got track experience with centerlocks. Just never known of the experiences of a daily driver with them.
