Work Wheels have been around for a very long time, the quality is way better than just decent. They are big in the JDM scene..

take a look at their Japanese site: http://www.work-wheels.net/ dont worry you can view in Japanese as well as English. That link takes you to the English version. You can learn more about them there...

I looked into them when I was considering wheels. Problem was, they are made to order for the most part and the best estimate I got was 12 weeks from order to delivery and I needed to pay up front...

My VS-XX's took about 12 weeks, but well worth the wait. I only had to put a deposit down. It think it was around 30%

3-4 months is standard for Works. They don't make them until you order them. I had to pay a 50% deposit, too.
