canaryrx8 04-17-2007 03:58 PM

Jedi54 04-17-2007 04:00 PM

lazi 04-17-2007 06:52 PM

^i love his wheels!

canaryrx8 04-17-2007 09:06 PM

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:

turbosa22c 04-17-2007 09:15 PM

what sizes are those? by chance anyone know who distributes Work here in the states?

canaryrx8 04-17-2007 09:31 PM

19x8.5 and 19x.9.5

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

pdxhak 04-17-2007 10:52 PM

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

canaryrx8 04-17-2007 10:54 PM

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

Im_DANomite 04-17-2007 11:16 PM

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

bruce_van 04-17-2007 11:39 PM

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)

pdxhak 04-18-2007 09:38 AM

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

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

canaryrx8 04-18-2007 09:51 AM

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:

Jedi54 04-18-2007 11:26 AM

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