DPE or WORK

I am thinking about picking up some new wheels and the only brand that appeals to me at the moment is DPE.
Originally I had my eye set on the GT7 or ST7 but I kind of like the flat five look of the R05 as well.

Need some opinions of whether I should keep the WORKs or pick up some DPEs.


WORK Euroline TR w/ machined face & polished lip on the top.
DPE R05 w/ gunmetal face & polished lip on the bottom.

if you consider the quality. Work wheels win hands down. unless you are getting some single piece forged DPEs.

of all forged brands. I'd only go with their single piece forged wheels. too much horror stories involving many brands and some of the finish are not nearly as good as their brand reputation suggest.

Work or BBS or Rays all the way.

Work wheels look really good, i know you are probably tired of seeing your car with those wheels and want to change them. The only thing i could tell you is that you have the nicest coupe i seen, no doubt. " Do not touch it"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! LOL.(I hate you for tinting you tail lights).

Thank you for the votes guys, I appreciate all of them.
I guess I will just wait a little longer and see if there is something else I can do with the car. Wheels just seem to be the easiest alternative.

BTW the tail light tint is gone.

Don't worry about the wheels. They go very well with the car.
