My Very Long Awaited Wheelz
Wats up everyone.... I just got these new custom Work Wheelz not too long ago and decided to share these happy moments with the members...
Waited like almost 4 months for these dam wheelz (never will it happen again)
tested them on my hazardous road conditions here in the country... put about 1100 miles on them already and found the ride quality to be exceptional!!!!
the wheelz are not as bad as i thought cause the offset is a little bit off.... however there is no rubbing issues unless if i pack 4 pepz and going over certain bumps... other than that, i really love these wheelz.. the black accent and brushed aluminum is what won me over... my setup is to play some black off my white car to tone it down...man, when it spin, it look crazy...other features i like is the brushed aluminum, which is not too shiny (i like it better than chrome lip) and it has only a weight distribution of only 26 lbs per wheel (i think, gotta double check) so it help somewhat when i need to burn rubber...
here is just a few quick pic... enjoy fellas!
my favorite is when it is at night...

the offset is important so make sure u double check for the right fit for your car and setup.. i ordered my wheelz when i just got my car so it was a silly mistake... however the offset is not as bad as i thought and not lowering it make it look o.k... +2
appreciate it buddy... slowly but surely it will be fun to do a little more to this car... next year tho..
thanks tank!

That's the thing about Work wheels. They take forever to get to NA if you order them from factory in custom specs/finishes as they usually ship them on a pallet via the ocean. That takes about 3 months I'm told. That's on top of the 1 month machine and build from the time of order. I ended up paying a big chunk to have them air freighted to NA but it only took 1 week 
Well worth the wait though, your rims look awesome!

Burnteggroll,
I hate to ask you to do this, but could you do a front lit photo of the car some similar to what Illusive is showing in the above post but with a bit more lighting on this side of the car.
Nice reflection on the car. What kind of wax or finish are you using?
