So I joined the Work wheels club this morning, (pics to come later after the rain clears), anyone else out there? why should the Ray's/Volk people have all the fun? :D:

(Subscribing to see these on Canary's car)

ack, am I all alone? I don't know whether to be stoked or sad if that's the case :D:

I'd be STOKED! Nothin' like being the only guy on a forum to have a certain mod... :rock: Now when's that rain going to be gone???

just get those pics up... :)

im sure there are others, they just haven't seen the thread yet. Im_DANomite has some work CR i believe.

he's got some new stuff on his car but these are old pics..

^i love his wheels!

dang, those are some sweet pictures! Well the weather today was awful, drive home was especially bad. If you cn picture driving home in a monsoon with a car loaded down about 100 extra lbs in wheels, on brand new wheels on stretched 30 series tires then that was me! I probably should have gotten a picture of the car all loaded down, in the parking lot at work I could barely get my foot underneath the sideskrts lol But alas, no wreck, no hail damage, no problems, and the sun sorta' came out towards the evening. My car is filthy, but I knew people would want to see pics (even crappy ones lol) so I hosed her down real quick, and got to snapping. Obviously I'll be taking better ones at some point, but since i have a lot of stuff going on with the car that'll be a while :)
Here's a brief review of these wheels:

pros- lip for days, i like how the "Work" stuff is actually stamped into the wheel and not a sticker, I especially love the spoke design. The offset on these is perfect, although I may have to roll fenders if I end up going with bigger tires in the rear.

cons- I'm not sure if I like the no center cap look, may have to rig something to clean that up a bit. I've seen the 2 piece version with centers in them, so maybe I'll see what's out there, maybe at least for the fronts anyway.
I'll probably have to get bigger tires for them, as much as I love the stretched look, I fear driving on these every day and to shows etc. may destroy them, and that would suck, plus I'm a little nervous about pushing them hard on some of the drives we do as there is next to no sidewall which could cause the tires to unbead etc. on spirited drives :)

Thanks again to Lazi for the awesome deal, I'll have better pictures up eventually, these will have to do for now :D:

19x8.5 and 19x.9.5

Lazi can hook you up :D: (J-onDemand, site vendor)

Those look awesome! What size tire are you running front and back? You still thinking about getting a Mint Blue lip spoiler?

225/30/19 front, 255/30/19 back, biggest rubber bands I've ever seen in real life :D:

niice...those wheels fit perfectly. i wonder who chose those sizes *ahem*

Those are a nice change from the Falken Koblenz.

SWEET! OMG. I WANT EM BACK NOW! HAHAH they look great canary. congrats and have fun! take some more pictures!

oh shyt canary, that looks nice man! great taste!

WOW !!! Awesome dude...... I want those rims on my 8 also.......

Oh my, those workmeisters looks HOT and even moreso on your car! I'm curious, how did you decide on the tire size? (apologies if you've already specify)

FWIW I'm running 255/35/19 so you have room to "grow".

I have to say it again though, the wheels look HOT!!

Thanks! Those tires were part of the deal, and really good in the wet too lol Lazi told me over the phone yesterday (homedude called just to check on everything which was awesome) he sized them that way and picked those wheels especially for the lippage, there are different styles of lips for these wheels and these are the most aggressive offset and the most aggressive lip. I really do LOVE the way they look stretched, (I usually don't, but these are just wow) but this car is my only car, it's my daily (no powderpuff trailer queen here :D: ) , and stretched tires just don't fair too well around here traversing the moon craters we have disguised as roads. I might be able to manage just being careful etc., but I would hate to sacrifice these beautiful wheels and lip just for a look :) I think what I might do is go 285/30 or 275/35 in the rear, and then just put the backs on the fronts. then I'd have a little more sidewall and width, and that would protect them a little more from the volcano pits around here, I swear sometimes stopped in traffic you can hear voices coming from the potholes where people fell in and need help getting out :D:

damn, the pics aren't working for me! :mad:

Sweet!
What's the wheel size / offset and tire size?
And what's the model? Not familiar with WORK wheels...

^^ that is beautiful

super sex danomite. We need more Work wheels on our 8's!

Size and offset please.

Dano, did you debadge your front? Are those holes?

Looks Good Canary, get more pics! I love fat lips too :)

I think the mesh on the front bumper should be black, it would compliment the wheels much nicer.

Also if you dont plan on changing the rear end to the MS Diffuser, you should paint the black plastic on your rear bumper gloss black.

It will make the car look outsanding i think.

okey dokey, was planning on changing the mesh anyway, already ordered and had it picked out before stumbling into the wheels lol Not going to do the MS rear, maybe if it was an entire bumper already painted (or not) for that price sure, but I just don't see spending that much cash on only part of the bumper. (love the way they look though, maybe someday I'll break down and get one or find one cheap etc.) So here's some slightly better pics, not a very creative location but I wanted to get some shots before it goes into the body shop for warranty paint fixin'. The next time I post pics it will have the paint flaws fixed, black mesh, and maybe I can ask them to paint the back bumper section as you mentioned if it's not crazy expensive too :) :wiggle:

Just for kicks I swung by a stealership today to see if our rx8 wheel centers might fit these, the opening on the S1's is too big so no go on that, wonder if Work makes any kind of center for these, or if I'm going to have to pull them off soon and rattle can some flat black in there to clean things up abit, probably going to do my calipers soon as well :)

my works are emotion cr kai in 18x9.5 +38 all around.

DEE, nothing escapes your eye. i removed the emblem because i want to shave/fill up the holes.

canary, the ride looks freakin' awesome bro...i LOVE the lips!!!!

thanks all, and to think I almost gave up on this car :eek: :)

freakin awesome canary wow. honestly it looks freakin awesome. man sad to see i couldnt keep it. but im glad it went to someone i can trust =D haha

canary...those wheels really look awesome...they look like those SSR ones too

^ +1 :yesnod: its look like our SSR friend wheels here :)

tire sizes are 265/35R18

Cool! Can I join the party? My Work Emotion XT-7 18x8.5F and 18x9.5R. Yes, no tyres yet. LOL! I'll get tyres later on. I wanted more narrow wheels in the front so maybe I can get more steering input when I go to run SCCA. I'll post pics when I get tyres on.

Yokohama Advan Neova AD07 235/40R18 in the front and 265/35R18 in the rear.

why are these ones flat

http://rx8club.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=98526

and these ones are curved

http://www.rx8club.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=96797

the ones on the workwheels website are curved too

Different width and offsets.

http://hometown.aol.com/kego260/images/rear.jpg

http://www.rx8club.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=96797
bro is it possible to state your off set of your CR kai? tks

you can only get the curved looked with 9.5 wide wheels (Work Emotion CR KAI). the offset doesn't affect the look of the face.

my wheels are 18x9.5 +38 all around.

nvm bro got your offset in your post

i'm sorry dan i know youv'e had your wheels for a while and i'm sure you've answered this somewhere else, but you've got 18x x19.5 +38 with no rubbing or fender roll, right?

I love that concave look. I have 18x8.5 in the front. And 18x9.5 in the rear with both front and rear having a +38 offset. The rear has the more concave look than the front. I don't know if you can see it in this pic....
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b228/_Wolverine_/myworkemotions3.jpg

loooks good! shoulda went 9.5 wide all around tho

Thanks. I went with narrower wheels in the front because I do SCCA from time to time. I think having too wide a wheels in the front might affect steering input.

Solo II? probably the most popular setup for autox with our car is the Enkei RPF1, 18x9.5 +45 all around. i like the setup a lot, and others seem to like it too

Works Only, Get Out Alien

Yeah. Solo II. What about rubbing issues when your steering wheel is turned all the way to one side? And what about the extra weight of a much wider wheel in the front? What size tire are you running?

tires are 275/35/18. i dont get any rubbing at full turn. these wheels are 17.2lbs each, a lot lighter than stock, so its still less weight up front. not sure how much your wheels weigh tho.

sorry not trying to thread jack, just showing that the size fits fine. ill remove the pics.

Oh sh!t! You don't even wanna know how much they weigh compared to yours! These wheels are just for looks. LOL! Probably the stock ones might be lighter than mine. :scared:

haha hey canary they look awesome!

So I've noticed something disturbing about my beautiful new wheels, I guess when they got mounted they chipped some of the paint along the inside of the centers on some of them (pretty much all 4). I haven't begun to start complaining to anyone yet as I'm totally wiped out from all the battles I'ev already had to fight lately. My question is, does Work or anyone make a center cap for my Meisters? My 2 options are to either touch them up somehow with black paint, or find some centers that fit them and protect the inside centers etc. Anyone haev a suggestion or idea? The paint on them appears a little flimsy, makes me wish they would have pwder coated them instead of painting them but oh well. :sad:

weaksauce :D: No help yet for me then, hmmm, maybe when it goes into the bodyshop Tuesday for warranty work I'll see how much it costs to refinish the middle part :sad: (like I have any money anyway lol)

sorry to hear man. get it fixed like new.

whats the deal with wolverine and your wheels? i really want to see them!

Another Work Emotion CR Kai owner here ...

Hey, those wheels look small...

Offsets and Sizes?

I believe you've own an miata?

And also seen your car once in times sq LOvely!

whats the deal with wolverine and your wheels? i really want to see them!

I just got my tyres. I'm just asking around where is a good place to have them mounted. I also got a new camera and I will post pics ASAP.

Probably cause I shrunk the original picture ... but the Works are 18x8.5 +38 offset all around. Yeah I had a 2000 Miata a few years back and use to be a member of the Miataphiles.

I just got a set of Gunmetal Work Emotion CR Kai , and I am having a turning rubbing issue of rear tire, the tire i am using isNitto NT-555 with 245/40/18

what's the size/offset of you wheels?

wheels offset : +32.
Tires Size: 245/40/18

Here's my addition the thread.
Work Rezax 19 x 8.5 and 19 x 10 42 and 45 offsets

wheels offset : +32.
Tires Size: 245/40/18

tires are probably too tall, I'd try a slightly smaller profile next go-round, probablly go slighty more narrow too. Are these 8.5's on all corners or?

Nice Rezax JRB, look great on the red.

yes...18x8.5 all around.

i wonder if that works
18x8 +38
18x9 +45
was thinking about ordering a pair of 18x10s
i cant seem to find the original pics to repost

very nice. thank you... ;-)

Nice Rezax JRB, look great on the red.

It's not the tires that's the problem; 245/40-18s actually have a slightly shorter rolling diameter than the stock 225/45-18s. Rather, the +32 offset is probably a bit on the aggressive side, but even so you shouldn't be rubbing in the rear. My guess is that you're running very little negative camber on the rear wheels; get an alignment done and see what numbers pop up. My guess is it'll be at something like 0.5 degrees negative camber. I don't know what your definition of slight is, but if it actually is very slight getting the rear negative camber to 1.5 degrees should eliminate the rubbing. That is just my wild assed guess. It's really weird that a 245 is rubbing in the rear.

This a question that has been asked but never answered as far as I can tell.

TPMS and Work Emotion CR Kai's, Does it fit and work?

I have been searching for months and cannot find the answer.

Can anyone tell me what the XD9 18" x 9" weigh?

new to the forum... so here's my contribution. enjoy...

18 x 8.5 front w/ falken 245 35 18's
18 x 9.5 rear w/ nitto 555 extremes 255 35 18's
38 offset x4
ms coilovers w/1" drop
rays black lugs

wheels have taken a while to grow on me but i think i'm starting to like them...


what do you think???

more...

very nice natty

that looks real clean, just needs a nice drop

thanks for the compliments... looking for a nice rear bumper or maybe i'll just pick up the appearance package aero flares. i think they finish the back off nicely... simply. also want to get an understated rear spoiler... just something low and thin to sit at the edge of the trunk ( not the rb). dig the jdm look

ngo - working on the drop. crap thing is that i'm not getting as much drop in the front with the ms coilovers as i should. got a tip from another member that its probably because the control arms were tightened while the car was off the ground. suggested loosening the bolts a bit so that the car settles properly, then tightening them again (makes sense). gonna try that in the next day or so. the backs i can drop til the thing is on the friggn ground.

we shall see...

yah, that has to be the problem. i tested it on my friend's car and it definitely dropped more once the control arms were tightened on the ground.

ngo,

should i be loosening both upper and lower control arms? i'm assuming thats the case but just want to be sure. have any idea what the torque setting should be?

thanks for the help

I love those wheels! Makes me wanna abandon my plans to buy RPF1s.

Where's a good and reputable place to get Work wheels? I did a search and came up with a lot of dead ends, but then again I am at the work computers and they are known to stop working for no reason.

I am getting mine through J on Demand. PM lazi and see what he can do.

you can try desmond performance (www.desmondperformance.com). they are the only shop that i could find that had them in stock. daniel desmond is the guy you want to talk to. very knowledgeable, straight up kind of guy. tell him richard sent you!

sbzro - hows that spoiler working out for you?

Spoiler is great. I'm taking your front bumper and wheels next :evil_laug

j/k

I'm gradually becoming a fan of bronze wheels on a black car (wasn't really a fan untill recently), but your set up is proper. I'm really digging it. Work wheels are the f'n shizer.

thanks, bro.

i felt the same way you did about the bronze. even wanted to sell them for a few weeks. but now i'm glad i didnt. the black and bronze isnt a common combination. i like it cuz it doesnt call too much attention to the wheels.

Work does make some pretty nice wheels. Surprised so few people know about them. Shhhhhhhhhhhh...!

I guess all of you went without the TPMS sensors and just deal with the light being on? No one seems to be able to answer the question of do the TPMS sensors fit the Work Emotion CR Kai's?

cant answer that for certain. you might want to contact desmond performance (www.desmondperformance.com) and ask if they accept them (ask for Daniel). when i got the rims i had a little snafu with the new tires i ordered when. I was was so focused on resolving the problem that i forgot to take the tpms units out of the oem wheels to have them installed:icon_no2: . i've just been dealing with the light ...

I might be joining the club soon! Leaving my enkei's RPM2's and getting CR Kai's 18.8.5 +37 Gun metal. I'll post up the pictures in a week or so.

I have the Work Emotion CR Kai's in 18", but not sure what the rest of the measurements are. I do know that the TPMS units were put on though.

You just made my day. I have been trying to find this out for months. Thanks.

Silly question. Anybody else that have the Work Emotion stickers on their wheels, noticed that they glow in the dark? I just noticed them tonight when I turned off the lights in my garage.

natty did u use spacers?

I don't think he did. Check out his offsets.

They do?!?! Those stickers cost like $100.

yoshi,

nope. no spacers. actually have the cower lower now than whats shown in the pics. no rubbing at all and i live in baltimore city. i'll try to post more pics at some point... been out of touch for a while.

what kind of wheels are these? i assume they are works but i have never seen them before

How are you Works Emotion Cr Kai owners addressing the center ring issue? I have to admit it doesn't look too bad without any, but putting away those ugly rusted center can't hurt right?

yo Canaryrx8... those are some awsome rims you got. I just wanna to know know what's the offset on those rims?

I 've had these on for a few months now and finally got around to taking some pics. A big thanks to Danomite for the offset tire recommendations. He knows his stuff.

The wheels are gunmetal Work Emotion CR Kai 18x9.5 +38 all around with Falken Azenis 615 RT. I went with 255/40/18 rather than 265/35 because they were a lot cheaper and are almost the exact size as stock. No speedo/odo change.

I had some slight rubbing issues in the rear until I had the alignment redone. For camber, I did 1.5 front/2.0 rear. Toe is 0 front and 1/16 rear and caster is 7. I get the occasional rub, but nothing serious. The front never rubs and TPMS works with these wheels. I'm lowered on Tein S-tech and the 5zigen gunmetal lugs match really well.

I hope this info helps someone and thanks again Danomite.

btw. the first two shots I took in the am the last two around 3pm (you can see the nasty traffic on the 405/10).

yo Canaryrx8... those are some awsome rims you got. I just wanna to know know what's the offset on those rims?

thanks, they're +29 rear and 9.5's, +36 front and 8.5's.

Wolverine this colour is the dark gold or the gun metal ?

i'm going with dark gold, gunmetal is more silverish

thanks mate :)

Looking at this http://www.work-wheels.com.au/wheels/work_emotion_xt7.htm I would say bronze.

How much is the weight of the work emotion xt-7 18x8,5 ?

Hey i pmed Canary but i'll ask you guys as well, what type of wheels are those on his yellow? Like I love how wide the chrome part looks and I really want those exact wheels haha but i checked the work website and I couldn't tell which ones they were

I belive they are Euroline FS but cant be sure. http://www.work-wheels.com.au/wheels/work_euroline_fs.htm

sigh.....they're work Meister S1 3pc, they retail for around 900-1000 apiece (and that's without tires), Rota and SSR have some similar styles for much cheaper if it's really the look you're after. Be prepared to pay a fortune and wait a long time if you go through with getting a set and good luck in whatever you choose :)

Another Work Emotion CR Kai owner here ...

I demand you post more pics of your car from all angles.

NOW. :banghead:

<EDIT> If you can also upload them on Rx8Club instead of imageupload or something, that would be great. :)

Hey does anyone know where I can get the red work stickers for my wheels. I have em in blue, but I seen a few cars with the red decals

depends on the offset of your rims, fender roll is a must.

+1 on that ;)

How is the handling for the different offsets you guys have for the rims opposed to the stock offset? I am am getting 18x9, but need feedback on offsets.

very nice, chrome/polished looks good on that color :)

looking good!

Work Emotion XT-7 in bronze on its way.

Danomite's car is awesome. He may have to assist me for sizing on a set of Meister S1 2 or 3 piece wheels here soon.

Double D

oh dang...i love those wheels. i sized up canary's work meister s1's...very aggressive.

I have the Piaa's in 19", but was thinking of dropping down to 18" on the Works in order to get a little more rubber. I totally love the fat lip on the S1's and the clean look the 2 piece wheel has.

I'd need Dan's expertise on aggressive offsets (like canary's) so the wheel is flush with the body and get maximum lippage!

Woot! They have arrived. Also have a set of red RAYS lugs to complete the theme.

[QUOTE=altspace;2396870]They are on at last.

(Spoken like Bolrat) Very Nice, how much?

Those look great, altspace! The bronze looks great with the VR. I'm considering those in matte gray but am having a tough time finding a place that sells them. Can you point me in the right direction? Also, what's the weight on them? Thanks.

EDIT: One more question: TPMS compatible?

Very tough to find. I purchased through a friend who has connections with TODA Racing.

How about offset ?

They are on at last.

Those are dope! lookin' good. I've got new rubber all around on mine now, 265/30 on the rear and 235/35 on the front, wheels look a lot different with more rubber on them :D:

How about offset ?

+46 to be safe since I'm lowered. I had +35 before and they rubbed even with rolled fenders.

Very nice !

How about the price ?

Here in Greece the price is 2000 €

were there ever any of the emotion kais released but non cast for a lighter version? I love the way they look but would prefer lighter

Canary,

Post up some pics!!!!

coming right up, camera phone pics but hopefully you can see the diffrence from the other sizes I had before :) My car's getting closer to photo thread/update status, we've been cooking up some very interesting stuff :D:

Mine just went up for sale if anyone wants them

I like, I think the raised hood bothers me more than anything.

I think all you need is some side skirts and front bumper and it will look even better.

Getting a bronze set of 18x9.5 CR-KAI installed this coming weekend. Can't wait!

whats the offset?

painted my works gold and added the decals.

The decals sure help complete the wheels. The gold is looking really good on your WB, substantially helps ad depth to your car. Nice touch

My Work CR Kai's came into today. I'm actually at the shop right now. 18x9.5 +38 Rear - Deep Concave and 18x8.5 +38 Semi-Concave (Not the +37 flat face) Tires are Falken F452 265/35/18's and 245/40/18's.

These wheels are going to be mounted with 5zigen ProRacer blue lugs. 52mm(whichever the long ones are)

Will post pics when complete.

The wheels came in today and the lugs so I was able to get them in the shop ASAP. I left work for this but I'm glad I did because they weren't going to drop this off.

Props to Fluid Motorsports for handling my many orders as it took WEEKS to find a set of wheels. Originally I ordered the 5zigen ZR+ 520's but they didn't have my sizes so I decided to spend way more money just to piss topgear8 off.

The lugs I ordered are the 5zigen Proracer 52mm(long ones) in blue. It turned out to be an AWESOME combo because the colors match perfectly.

Specs:Gunmetal (looks bronze doesn't it)
18x8.5 +38 Semi-Concave Front / 18x9.5 +38 Deep Concave Rear

I am perfectly aware I need to drop the car...I am currently eating out of a fucking can in order to get these wheels...but at least I'm losing some weight in the process. Tein S-Techs are coming in next week. Be patient.

tatally awesome love the deep concave rears really looks good

nice man, i'll see how my 8.5 +25 all around goes next week

^Nice choice! looks good.

You wont regret getting the works over 5zigens!!
You're car will look super clean with a drop will look even better!

I was just going to ask that actually. Do you think I will have any problems with Tein S-Tech's with my specs? I don't THINK i should. I have a TON of room in the front...but the rear may be close. I know its only a .7 inch drop though.

Rear = 18x9.5 +38 with a 265/35 tire.

^You will be fine in the rears. If you do get rubbing over some bumps then a little bit of negative camber will solve it.

I sound like I don't know how to speak english in my last post with that fractured sentance, lol.

You should be fine with that spec and the minimal drop. As top gear said it would be very close so you a touch of camber would do the trick. Congrats on the wheels again!

Thanks Tilt,

People are starting to come up to me and telling me how much they used to hate my old wheels. Makes me feel good and bad I guess.

Question to Work owners:

What center caps will work with my CR Kai's? Do you think I could get the stock gunmetal center caps that come on the R3? Too small?

Question # 2

Should I go decals or no decals? I'm asking because I tried just a second ago...and it may be one of the hardest things I ever did in my life. I honestly don't know the correct way.

Question # 2

I've been wondering about that too, but no matter what, i'm at least gonna try putting them on, cuz they look amazing!

I would go with the decals, I like the way they look on the work wheels.

Question to Work owners:

What center caps will work with my CR Kai's? Do you think I could get the stock gunmetal center caps that come on the R3? Too small?

I don't remember exactly, but I want to say that a S2000 owner some how got his center caps to fit. That's the only center cap story I have.

Question # 2

Should I go decals or no decals? I'm asking because I tried just a second ago...and it may be one of the hardest things I ever did in my life. I honestly don't know the correct way.

Dan put his on after he repainted the rims. I would ask him how he did it. I still have my set and in blue if you mess up...

i just looked at the wheel on WORK's website and stuck them on. didn't really think too much about it, just cut out the stickers and slapped them on.

you cannot have center caps for our cars with these wheels. the rear axle shaft protrudes too much for and center cap to fit.

I was just going to ask that actually. Do you think I will have any problems with Tein S-Tech's with my specs? I don't THINK i should. I have a TON of room in the front...but the rear may be close. I know its only a .7 inch drop though.

Rear = 18x9.5 +38 with a 265/35 tire.

when i first bought my CR Kai i ran that setup and had no problems. the S-Techs weren't low enough to cause rubbing with the 265. ALTHOUGH, i did run Falken ST-115 which are slightly narrower than other 265 tires out there.

now i run 255 all the way around, but that's a totally different story.

Thanks for the replies. I am gonna have to take some scissors to that decal sheet now. I fugged it all up but maybe I'll be able to salvage most of the stickers on that one sheet.

What i did was try to peel off the covers on each side first. I would have figured that was the wrong way if I could read Japanese.

I KNOW YOU"VE BEEN WAITING TO SEE THIS! or not... lol

Forgot to take pictures of the Cusco Sways... =.=

Comments... This offset with preset HKS Hipermax RS drop... rubs a little in the back... so i'm gonna raise the car for a bit later or do a fender roll. But overall, I'm so fucking excited now... Work RS lugs are coming by the end of the month. LEDs tomorrow. Wait for updates!

the wheel faces look kinda flat.

damn, everyone and their grandmother has CR-Kai now...hahaha. they are sexy wheels tho.

i'm glad i painted mine gold...need to stand out a bit ;)

looks good silverhokie and dezau

^ lol well dan, u set the example. trust me, it's you who cost me these wheels... damnnnn u....... lol

and nuke, they are 8.5 +25 which is semi-concave. i never was fond of the fully deep concave nways... they look too... aggressive on the 8 and no offence to u dan, u did a really great job turning ur 8 to a real aggresive 8, it's just i don't think my apperance package would blend in well with the 9.5 deep concaves

for the blue lug nuts, i assumed the 4 close ended ones are the wheel lock, but why the rest or open ended?

for the blue lug nuts, i assumed the 4 close ended ones are the wheel lock, but why the rest or open ended?

That is how the 5zigen wheels lugs came. I have seen setups like the ones you've mentioned though. Maybe Rays lugs are that way?

Dezau looks good...+25 worked out pretty good for you it seems. I will however disagree with you about the deep concave. My rears look delicious.

I'm with DanOMite a little bit, even though I am a late comer to the Work party. Look at the wheels I USED to have though.

I would not like to see the CR Kai's go the way of the Enkei RPF1...but at the current price point that shouldn't happen anytime soon.
