Keep or Discard Vote NOW!

Hey guys,

I got a pretty decent offer on my current set of wheels that are on my vehicle and I am un-decided I was wondering whether I should keep them or discard them hence the title. K-Speed makes replica wheels and I was pretty interested in the 18” Work Emotion KAI replica’s. However I want your opinions should I pick a set up?

btw; if I did pick the set up my next mod would be the Mugen 04-05 replica kit.

Here are some pictures attatched

Before MY vehicle (current);



Work Emotion Replica's;



Essentially what I want it to look like, (copyright Nextmod)



So should I do a swap or no?

^ I agree, the real deals aren't that expensive anyway, plus your buying quality.

I don't like your current wheels.
Not for the TSX and not for what you have planned for it.


I don't like replica's either.

So like your last poll, I choose neither.

Drop it right, on some quality coilovers.
Get the Mugen BUMPER kit.
Get some Authentic Rims.

Take your time! Buy one thing at a time, slowly. Buy quality, not knock-offs.

If you want knock-off everything, mod a different car.

get the real deal...odds of you bending or cracking a knockoff are greater. what are you going to do if you damage some fakes? replace it? fix it? with that much money going into it might as well have gotten the real wheels. WORKS > Current

I'd go for the reps. I am running on K-Speed Mugen GP replicas too, and they're built very well with a nice finish. The Emotions definitely look alot better on PWP.

i'd go for the replicas. i think they look nicer, and i'm gonna assume they're lighter than your current wheels, which was an issue you brought up in another thread (increasing responsivness).
