WORK'ed GS430

I know it isn't no euro, but I posted pics of the Beast's neighbor in the garage and most of you guys seemed to like it. Well after looking around, I found a set of wheels that I liked so I ordered them and they came in. Comments are welcomed...

Work VS-XX
19x8.5F and 19x10R
Toyo T1-R 245/35/19F and 275/30/19R
Dropped on Tanabe NF210 Sports springs

Special thanks to the guys from Carrozzeria Design for another great set of wheels!~!








Comment are more then welcomed...

is the GS your car also? (in addition to the E55)

wheels look dope on a Japanese import, but have to decide how it'd look on a W211... let alone E55.

where's that shop, would like to check it out.

The GS belongs to my dad. I just put some wheels and did suspension for him. I for some reason hate driving "stock" cars so I just had to do it for him. These wheels are for the GS and GS only. I just got new wheels for my W211 a very few months ago.

The shop is located down in Irvine right by the Irvine spectrum.

Yo Sun looks great- is that the white that almost looks purple at night in certain angles? I like the new body style but it is quite curvy and eats up those 19's. IMO 20's would be better for that car. Are you going to paint the centers or leave it that goldish color?

Work wheels are very nice. I just dont know if I can warm up to the new GS design. I think the previous model was much better looking.

HRE's are a custom made 3 piece wheels so I'm sure they would fit

I ordered the wheels in 19's because my dad will do most of the driving and you know how older asian people drive ...As far as the bronze center that is how I ordered them. Tried to do that whole JDM white on bronze look. The white on the car has that pearl affect so it just shines...I love it!~!

Tell your dad to make sure he never crashes it. I know a lot of people at Lexus and they are telling me its very hard to match that paint.

Just wondering how those new Toyo T1-R's are working out. I'm thinking of trying a set on my E55. I had the T1-S on my E46 M3 and loved them.

I have absolutely no complaints on the tires thus far. Can't really beat the price right now also. Tires are not bad at all and they are equal to or even better then the T1-S's that I had on my HRE's before IMHO...

Nice Wheels. What size lips are on those rims?

How do you think those rims in silver would look on a silver W211?

Can someone try to photoshop the rim on?

The front is kind of dissappointing but the rear is at about 3 inches right now. If you are interested in the mesh design wheels, I'm sure there are plenty out there to choose from but I think the Works would look hot. And you would be different!~!
