Oh, hey Lou!!! :hello:

wanna go light? just get 19x6 and 19x7.5 wheels.

:icon18::rofl2:

But I disagree... I think 19s are overrated. 15x5 and 15x5.5 is even lighter and they make your car looks slammed to the ground without even spend crazy money on coilovers or bags. Just saying.:icon17:

As for the quality, I don't know... They usually weight 27/28 Ib. Not the lightest but lighter then SSR. And spun is not that bad I assume? It's the cost efficient way to get close to forged? I know a lot of racing wheels are spun...

I am just gonna leave this here.:yum:

That's actually the SSR SP1, not a Work Meister S1.

And they're not light... At all...

S1s are 26 lbs or something, VS-XX are about the same...

And I honestly think that the S1's are some of the ugliest wheels made, VS-XX I'm ok with. (But this is just my opinion)

I don't understand the rave about TE37s (I think the design is very simple), but I understand the weight and respect that.

But why are Works $3-4000?

Work wheels been around for decades. They pretty much inspired many wheels companies around. And As far as the pricing? Companies in the united states are charging more than the more reputable ones from japan (works or ssrs) that have been making them much longer than some of the US brands. 3-4k are usually the price range for 3 piece wheels anyways

try to find some custom wheels you like in the sizes you want and get some quotes, you'll be very surprised. Mine were just shy of 4k for a set, any other wheels I was looking at for the same sizes were all 5k+, some were 7-8k and others even over 10k, now that's stupid.

if you want your wheels to sit flush with the guards while lowered, there is nothing you can buy off the shelf that will fit properly without running spacers, and well spacers are illegal where I'm from anyway.
