^The rears are 18x9.5 +38

J8635621 01-24-2010 05:07 PM

Yep. I think he has the 18x8.5 +38 in the front, but you can fit the 18x9.5 +38 all around.

Pico 01-24-2010 05:11 PM

^ those specs seem right
Only down point is the weight 26lbs each ...

Thanks! Didn't realize he asked me a question. God damn I still love these wheels though.

Too bad my front lip got destroyed however.

Hey guys I have just got my coilovers and I was wondering whats a good amount to lower my 8 by without it coming to close to the rubber.

Rim size 18x9.5 +38 255/40/18 I also havent rolled my arches and im trying to avoid this.

TopGear8 01-26-2010 08:21 PM

^1.5 inches in the front and 1 inch in the back should be good for you.

Pico 01-26-2010 08:32 PM

^ you should be alright
for future reference - your next set of tires try going with a 265/35/18 - there's no need for a stretch with a +38ET

J8635621 01-26-2010 09:02 PM

255 isn't a stretch 265 will make more wheel gap

Pico 01-26-2010 09:14 PM

No its not a stretch per say, but 255 is not necessary with a modest drop running a 35mm sidewall that's all. Just trying to help the guy with his next set on rubber

BTW I've been inspired..

Here they are my new WORK 11r's in Glim Silver 18-9.5 +38ET All corners :rock:

It was hard choosing between these and the CR kia's - at the end of the day the decision was based on weight. 11r's are about 3lbs lighter. They both are great looking wheels

Putting them away until spring which will be tough-- dying to see what they look like on the car

csl 01-26-2010 11:08 PM

Need help from you guys.

Can anyone tell me how to differentiate a genuine work emotion cr kai? Or anyone can post some pics. thanks.

HockeyRX-8 01-27-2010 12:36 AM

Damn Pico...them wheels are SEXY!!!...can't wait to see them on the car!

Pico 01-27-2010 12:46 AM

Thanks guys
I'm excited too

Atilla 01-27-2010 01:05 AM

wow, nice wheels pico - props :bigok:

shifty 01-27-2010 02:53 AM

Ok thanks guys and thanks Pico for the rubber suggestion.

thebiggdaddy 01-27-2010 03:44 AM

Can't wait to see them on the car Pico. I also love the concave look with the 9.5's and up.

jptalky 01-27-2010 09:11 AM

Pico that is a really nice rim you got. Perfect size too.

For the guy who wants to know how to tell a genuine. It has the cursive W and work on the rim. Look at Pico's photo you will see it. How to tell from a distance? You just have to know your rims I suppose.

Pico 01-27-2010 09:19 AM

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys. Now i just need to decide on tires which is proving to be a pain in the butt---waiting for tirerack promotions.

Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec
Kumho Ecsta MX
Hankook Ventus R-S3

These would be my tires of choice. if the get drop to around 200 each I'll be all over any 1 of the 3.

dezau 01-27-2010 09:44 AM

God damn! Nice wheels...makes me want another set of Work wheels. I can't get enough of them. Your set is going to look PERFECT with your 40th anniversary color.

I wish I could right now but that would be crazy. Spring is coming fast. I've been running S-techs for about a year now so that piece of the puzzle is solved

Thanks i love em. The color will match up well.

If there's anyone looking to buy WORKS do it before the end of Fed. because you'll get free Work lugs/locks and valve stems.

RX-865 01-27-2010 12:45 PM

Pico those look so sick. Get pics on here soon. Looks like its time for me to start saving up for some different rims:rock:
