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 . i've just been dealing with the light ...

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.

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?

emotions with mazdaspeed

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).
