Work Emotion CR vs Work Emotion XT-7
 
I am stuck and just cannot decide.

2004 velocity red. Looking at 18x9.5 +38.

I don't like the matte grey on the xt7 so they will probably be in bronze. I am staying away from black for the CR because with black wheels you lose the characteristics with them being black. I was going to just stick with bronze but not sure how bright of a bronze the CRs come in.

With that said, their silver is alright. I just feel silver wheels are always over done and I will be more unique with a pair of bronze.

I plan on buying soon so all input is more than welcomed.

Emotion Kiwami /thread

bryan4140 03-18-2014 12:00 AM

Imho i would go for a lower offset. Maybe around +25/30 which would still be very functional and more flush. The style is totally up to you, do what you think looks best. Personally I agree with yomom, the emotion kiwami's look awesome on an 8.

I would go for a +30, I just don't want to roll fenders right now and don't want to throw off the suspension geometry too much (I AutoX the 8).

Then for 9.5 you probably want a +45, unless you want poke/stretch and run a lot of negative camber.

I heard that I would be fine with 9.5 and +38/+30 without having to do any rolling or anything. Can someone verify this?

17x9.5 +38 here. I love the fitment. I'm low and over dips in the road the front srubs the fender liner.

I have the Kiwami 18x9.5 +38 in bronze. No need for fender roll and im also lowered.

post a picture, please

I saw some that ravspec is selling in a blue color I loved

JamesD31 03-19-2014 09:11 AM

I would love to see pics as well of both of you guys. I've been fighting myself over bronze or the silver; just their silver is too shiny imo.

yomomspimp06 03-19-2014 10:14 AM

I've been whoring it up recently so check my previous posts. Shouldn't be too far back before you see a picture

I guess it depends on what tire sizes you would use. If you want to use the proper size tires, then you would be using 265 or 275. Fitment shouldn't be a problem if you run 245's or lower.

I bought 245/40/18 to fit on what will be 18x9.5 (+38/+30). Reason for this was because they 245 was $200 cheaper than the 255/265.

You shouldn't have issues then. 245 on a 9.5 with +35 fits fine, even lowered.

So, what do you guys think?

Work Emotion CR Kiw in Bronze with +38 or +30?
