I like the new wheels a lot!
I think a drop would compliment it nicely and I'm not feeling the spoiler with these wheels...
Still looks pretty nice nonetheless!

You guys that say it "needs moar low" or whatever, I think too low actually ruins the look. His ride height is perfect in his latest pictures. Infact there is basically no wheel gap. I guess it's all personal preference, but when wheels are tucking that's when things look retarded. I think the car looks amazing!!

I'm not sure Steven, I usually loose interest within 6 months. Stay tuned... I probably will have another set when the Spring season arrives. LOL...

LOVE these wheels Earl.
I had them on my DGP a couple years back but ended up getting rid of them. They really are one of my favorite WORK wheels.
If I still had the DGP we would have had them next to each ther for a nice Christmas pic
Looking good as always buddy.

So based on that, what is your input on the Tein H-Techs? I can only imagine any lowering spring on stock shocks is going to cause medium to large bumps to be pretty jarring, but I wouldnt mind hearing your input.

Sounds like we have very similar opinions on things. I spent forever thinking about a lowering spring before I finally pulled the tricker on a previous Type S I had. I went with the H&R Sports based on pictures and peoples input on them. I loved the ride height and the ride was acceptable on decent roads, but on anything larger than a small bump the ride suffered IMO significantly. So much so that I justy rmeoved them and put the stock springs back in. They just did not take bumps very well and gave a jolting ride on those bumps that just drove me nuts.

Damn Earl...newest wheel set is the best one IMO. Really like the Schwert SC1, always have. Nice pickup. Good call on the H Techs too, I'm rolling on those as well and I love 'em. Very good ride height with 19s, and 18s for that matter as well. I vote that you keep these for more than 6 months lol!

I checked Google and found this SC1 wheel. I'm not sure if this is a custom job or came from the WORK factory like this. It would be a close to perfect paint match for my RRP 3G TL.
