My new Work Wheels are finally on!!

executive matchup
not everybody wants or needs an aggressive fitment
With so many variations between size, width, offset, disc type, back pad, bolt patterns, most importers don't stock wheels. When ordering from the manufacturer from Japan, there is build time...usually a couple weeks.
Then, once done, your wheels are waiting for the importer or freight forwarder to fill up a 40 ft container. Then it's another week on the ocean usually to Long Beach. Then another week or more unloading, inventory, and clearing customs. Then another week or so to ship to you.
Total all this up, and you're looking at the standard 6-8 week wait time. Any problems during any of those steps and you could be delayed for another week or so.
If you want them sooner, just have them air shipped.....but be prepared to pay an arm and a leg.....

I think the drop is FINE. Looks great! However, what have you really lost in terms of ride quality. Almost every posts in here suggests that by going with NF springs, you don't lose any ride quality at all, but I don't by it. You always lose something when you drop. From scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the original ride quality), how would you rate your ride now after the drop and new 20's. Thanks for your input.

but if you don't believe us, get the NF springs and see for yourself. the only person that needs to be convinced is you.

I got the NFs on back in October to allow settling before the wheels arrived. I was skeptical, but I honestly did not notice any difference in ride quality. I now notice a harsher ride with the wheels and low profile tires. I have them pumped to 38psi. It's worth it though!
