G-Games or Work
 

Ok guys im in a bit of a dilemma I cant decide between a set of G-Games 99B (gunmetal) or Work Emotion CR Kai (bronze) .:banghead:
Im gonna go 8.5 in front and 9.5 in the ass .
So I need opinions and pros and cons (best offset , do I need to roll the arches etc)

What color is your 8? As much as I like the CR-Kai's those G-Games are some of my favorite rims and they are less common than the Works.

get the same width all around.

Go with 9.5's all around if you're going to go with the Emotion.

My baby is Brilliant Black I would go big alround but I dont want to compromise handling and I dont realy want to role my arches

you can easily fit 9.5's all around even with 275 tires. you will sacrifice handling for looks if you buy the staggered setup you are talking about.

so 9.5 all round is better on handling then staggered 8.5-9.5 is that wot your saying.

yes, definitely. i should know. i made the switch and i am more than happy.

Choose 2 :naughty:

ok so if I go 9.5 all round what sort of off set and tyre size should I look at.

If you go staggered you cannot rotate your tires properly.

Topgear8 has a good setup.

I'd say in the +30 range with 255/40 or wider

Yeah I luv Topgear8's rims but I cant get them here in the UK and importing them is to much

would +40 not be a better fit

It would but your wheels wont sit as flush as +30 would

I got the works and they look sexy ;)

whats the stock offset is it 40 or 45:scratchhe

Ok as far as deciding which rims ive chosen the works well when I say ive chosen I mean the boss (Girl friend) has decided cos I can but now its a case of 8.5's all round or 9.5's and tyres.

I run 19x8.5 +40 front and back with 255/35. Stock wheel offsets are +50. I do not rub on the fenders but I do on the front wheel liners which I suspect is due to the brand or tire vs. the size. I have a thread on it with pics if you are interested.

Yeah if you could point me in the direction of your Thread that would be great.

The forum is a little vast when you search for stuff you get several hundred results.


pdxhak didnt you leave a post earlier or is it my imagination.

I'm running 19x8.5 +45 with 255/35 and no issues whatsoever. Pics are in my photo album in my public profile.

Here is the thread showing where I rub on the front liners.

Thnx pdxhak I had a little read and I should be fine im only going for 18's and you cant get those tyres over here in the UK anyway which is ashame they have a seriously funky tread pattern.
