What's the craze with Work wheels?

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?
Finally someone agrees with me. Everybody says I'm crazy for thinking the Meister S1's are ugly and fatass looking.

Look is subjective. I personally love the Meister. They look so nice on Rx7, Silvia, Nsx, Supra, Evo, Wrx, Bmw and especially on Porsche! But I haven't really seen any good looking 370z with Meister s1 3p(s1r looks better on 370 tho). So maybe the Meister is not made for 370.

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.

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