Default Specific Wheel and Lower spring

Hi guys,

I came across these 2 websites that sell rims:

http://work-wheels.net/products/index.php

http://www.forgestar.com/v2/

Has anyone purchased their wheels? If so how were the qualities?

Also, does anyone know anything about the quality of Swift Springs, and how it's similar or different to the F-sport springs by Lexus?

Thanks!

there's a sticky for aftermarket rims on the main page. as far as quality goes. work wheels have been around for a long time. since late 70's many import cars sport their wheels. high quality wheels imo. many replicas have been made outta their style, but never the same. forgestar also has been around for over 30 years. you can't go wrong with either company

how they are made and formed. different processes on the metal to make it strong,lightweight, & durable. As far as springs goes. Any mainstream brand will ok. no off brand ebay crap. its really up to you and how low you wanna go. goodluck
