I think you need to decide what your priority is.... if its "appearance" the SPW's will probably keep you happy, but if its performance, they don't look like they will offer what you need. Just looking at their website:

http://www.spwusa.com/index.html?/spw/spw.htm&main

.... it appears that almost all of the gauges are 90-degree sweep, which limits the ability to take accurate readings. They tend to "hide" the fact that the gauges are only 90-deg sweep with that triangle of extra metal that covers part of the gauge face. With a 270-deg gauge, you will have more hashmarks, and better definition of the values. The "carbon" finish looks like it renders the gauge almost useless as far a the ability to even read the numbers on the face of the gauge.

I like gauges, but to me they should convey some meaningful information, in an accurate and easy-to-read manner. Just a thought.
