If it were mine, I would not lower it. Looks good the way it is.

Not all of the TSW wheels are rotary forged.

Interlagos, Nurburgring, Panorama. and Tanaka are the only wheels that are rotary forged. The rest are cast. I think all of the Cray offerings are cast.

That's good to know, because those are good looking wheels. Wonder what the weight is? The reason I bought my Nurburgrings is because they were rotary forged and lightweight.

I would lower on stock bolts. It will only drop it 1 inch or so but gives a much sweeter look.
