My new wheels - What do you think?

Here's a few pics of my new Racing Harts. What do you think? I need some help on choosing springs now. I've read a lot of the posts here and have narrowed it down to 2 choices: 350Z revised springs or 350Z H-Techs. I'm not looking for a slammed look. I would like to keep the ride pretty close to stock. I'm leaning towards the H-Techs but I don't want it to be too low.

Go with the 350z H-Techs, lowers the car enough to close the wheel gap and give it a more aggressive look (while not looking slammed at all), and the ride actually feels better than stock .

Love the wheels. I have the same ones on order, but I got the machined finished. Seeing them on your car makes me even more anxious to receive mine. If I figure out how to post pics, I will put some up this weekend.

Thanks alot guys. I was already leaning towards the H-Techs so I guess I'll probably go with those. The rear doesn't bother me as much but the gap in the front is terrible. Slammed looks cool, but the G is my daily driver (the Dak in the background is my weekend driver )

I really wanted 20's at first but couldn't find anything I liked that wasn't either a) lower quality or b) $4000. I'm really happy with the Racing Harts though.

vn3115...definitely post some pics when you get them on.

Don't worry, the H-techs will be nice 'n high No point in going through the whole hassle of installing 350Z springs for a 0.005" drop. Front lip in the future, maybe? These wheels look nice, post up some close up shots.

Looks really nice. And, it looks good ride height-wise too. I am sure a mild drop will be more aggressive though.
