Use the search function...tons of TSW threads.
Overall they have good input/opinions, however some think they may possibly be a bit soft ("TheSoftWheel company"). I bet they are fine and they certainly look good. They would be my top choice in that price range if I were to buy.

NS3,
I have TSW Nurburgring's on my 02Z. Overall, TSW's are:
- lightweight
- designed for BBK's
- looks good
- well priced
- Not forged, but not cast either (some other process that you can read about on their website)
Don't have much intel on the "softness" issue as my is not a DD and is hardly driven, but I think if one drives around on rubberband profile tires, any wheel would be subject to potential damage if you hit a pothole. The one thing I wish they made was a 20x11 sized wheel for the rear, but it only goes to 20x10.5.
Good luck.

I like my TSW Interlagos wheels. They are rotary forged which means they are very light and appear to be very well made. I had a set of TSW Nogaros on my old RX8 several years back and the new Rotary Forged series seem to be of much better quality. For the money, they can't be beat.

You didn't say whether you were interested in silver or black Interlagos
here are some pix of black ones with the center cap painted body color in one photo and painted black in another
