I just received my new silver finished TSW Bathurst wheels and installed my swift springs.

Before


After


Only mounted 1 wheel just to double check that the 285 would fit.
F-20x8.5 +40 245/35/20
R-20x10 +40 285/30/20

Could you please post photos with a wider side view of the whole car? Any impressions about the weight or mpg impact? I'm really considering getting these as well in 19" since they're way lighter than anything else in the price range.

Honestly they feel just as light as the stock 17s' and yes once i have all 4 mounted ill def post more pics.. Prob another week or so waiting for the rain to wash up all the sand and salt around here

no coilovers? do you think the 20s will rub?

looks great, nice combo. I highly doubt I am going to drop my 37x anytime soon because I live in Michigan (world's worst roads, literally.. I say literally because the GTR was factory tested in Detroit, Michigan to get a feel for how it handles on garbage roads lol), but if I were to drop it, I would go probably go the swift route... I see your profile says Boston, and judging from the pictures, I assume you have some bad roads in your area with all the weather change, snow, etc... I see cracked pavement in some photos lol, so my question is, please let us know how the springs feel on such roads. If I lived in Florida, Cali, Arizona, Texas, etc, I would drop without too much concern as the roads are smooth enough, but I've dropped previous cars in the past, and on bad roads, the ride quality gets old real fast. So just looking for some input on how it feels once you get some miles on em.. Thanks.

Snipres

Only time will tell..

And yeah the roads are pretty ****ty down here. Not a lot of big potholes but a lot of cracks and imperfections, the ride is pretty stiff, doesn't absorb bumps what soever, first car with springs and it's just okay.

Those look sharp Snipres!

Definitely and upgrade over stock. Sub'd for more pics.

I have a very minor nit about wheels in general and wish they'd make an all-silver paint or powder coated wheel without the mirror finish. I guess I'm old school in that thinking but so many manufacturers are doing that. Even the OEM's are doing the dark with mirror finish and not feeling that either. Infiniti did it with the Q50S wheels.

You do have me thinking about wheels again though! I'll say it again, well done and those are NICE!

Snipres

Thanks man, im in love with the mirror finish tbh, only thing im picky about is that wheel gap right now, looks extremely high idk why?? Maybe because i just finished raising the car and the other side still had the stocks on?

It's more of an optical illusion than anything, going w/ low profile tires and bigger wheels always brings your eyes to the fender gap, don't know why
Looking good thus far and those 285s will tuck OK, look forward to pics w/ the Swifts as they settle some more, I think you'll really like the overall setup

Swift is the most modest lowering option, so it wont look really low. What Brad mentioned is also true - larger wheel, thinner sidewall, increased ride height perception.

Very nice. I have my eyes on the same wheels.

Lightweight, good looking, good quality and fairly priced. Winning combination.

Can't wait to see pictures of all 4 mounted.

Congrats on the wheels.

You picked a nice set of wheels. Can't wait to see them on your ride

You bet man! I dunno, not having seen them in person, I should reserve judgement. Looks like their photos on the tsw site are renderings so it's hard to tell. Any pics of one of the wheels in good lighting? Indoor or out is cool with me. Does the mirror finish part look like bare aluminum with a clear coat on it or is it more refined than that?

I'm definitely digging on how light those are though for 20's.
