Question What you guys think of the Varianza SC1?

Hey guys i want your opinion on the Works Varianza SC1. I like the Varianza T1S but some of you already have it and i want something different so yea. I was thinking about 20x9F and 20x10R. Am wondering if it will rub or would i have to roll some fenders or anything. BTW i am trying to order them by Friday after Chinese New Year so quick replys would be helpful :P

The Rims


How it looks on the GS. I got it directly from the site so yea.

The 285/30 is already pretty thin, no need to go for 275/25

I love those rims and they are one of the ones that I am considering.

Work is very well respected here on CL. Delivery justs take awhile because they have to be custom made and then imported.

Thumbs up

These are my favorite wheels which is why I got a set for my First gen GS..The build and finish is amazing and pictures dont do them justice..As for the offsets on a 3rd gen you can do a 9" in the front with a +32 (A-disc)245/35/20 and 10" in the rear +35 (o-disc)275/35/20 with no mods or any fender work..You can always go more aggressive but you will need to do some work, but you can make that call..The picture of the black GS was built by JOB Design and the wheel specs on that car are
20x9.5+35 235/35/20
20x10 +35 255/35/20
And they did do front fender work also its on a UAS air suspension..
Hope this helps...
I also wanted to mention that Work also offers this wheel in step-lip and 21"s...

If you're ordering through Albert from TWS, you shouldn't worry about rubbing issues. He will order the wheels for your car spec. Unless you want something more agressive, massive lip it will be doable. You'll just need to shave/roll your fenders. Nothing Albert can't do. He makes magic

By the way the wheels choice will look very sharp on the 3GS.. I've seen two different 3GS with these wheels. I did consider these wheels when i was shopping for wheels, but i ended up getting something more classic. Pictures comming sooon.
