Default Black GS400 with 20" Work Schwert Sc1's w/coilovers

Out with the old, in with the new. I got done washing the car at midnight. Decided to take some pictures at 1AM. The pictures are crappy because I was limited to generic angles due to a restrictive tripod. Daytime photos will be posted after I have a chance to shoot again.

OLD LOOK: The car on the iForged wheels (sold to a friend) and huge spacers:


NEW LOOK: I lowered the car another 5 turns on the front with the new (to me) Work Schwert Sc1's. I also painted the calipers and rotor hats and put white decals on the calipers:










I am very happy with the new look. They fit very well. There are no spacers used in the front and a 3mm spacer in the rear. No rubbing either! Enjoy the pictures, guys!

Thanks for the comments! The wheels are 20x8.5 with a +18 and 10.5 with +27 offset. The rears can be in the low +20s without rubbing.

I got the decals from eBay and the high temperature paint from the local autozone.

The toe is set at zero. The natural camber from the drop is around -3 all around.

I love the new look, but I think I like the old wheels better because they're black.

These don't really seem to fit your "blacked out" theme, unless you plan on changing it up.

Black grille, black emblems, black side markers. Seems sort of blacked out to me.

It may not be though. Lol...

I really don't have a specific theme! I just want everything to look good together! Haha
