WORK rims on TSX

Ok, I'm a rim noob. I know rims are wrapped around with rubbers and mounted onto the car, so you know, car moves. Seriously, I want some inputs (anything appreciated)about Work rims. All the specs are making me

Emotion CR. I know this is the least expensive among all three.




Meister. I saw this on Comptech website. Pretty expensive. I believe one of our members has it (a SSM with kickass sound system in the trunk)




VS SS. I doubt this deep dish will fit in TSX... But well, a noob might be wrong





And why do I need to worry about offset? Is it because of robbing or better cornering?

Thanks everyone

Your are correct the offset problem revolves around rubbing. As far as those rims The middle ones are awesome they look nice, but they are mucho $$$$$ upwards of like 700-800 dollars i think. From what i understand they are pretty good rims, straight JDM i think.

we have 5 X 114.3 bolt pattern...find more info here

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/boltpatt.htm

The bolt pattern or bolt circle is the diameter of an imaginary circle formed by the centers of the wheel lugs. Bolt patterns can be 4, 5, 6, or 8 lug holes. A bolt circle of 4x100 would indicate a 4 lug pattern on a circle with a diameter of 100mm.

They are good rims. Go for them, you sure won't regret.

I need to go sell a kidney so I can get the Workmeister wheels that Comptech has. Even my deal with them still makes them expensive. I'll stick to stiffening my chassis for now.

I wouldn't mind getting the Emotions (they are in my price range), but wish they came in silver. I'm weary of putting a gunmetal rim on the carbon gray car.

That does look hot on accsuperstar's car. Can somone PS the Work Emotion CR Kai rims on the above pics? www.finalstageauto.com has them in 18" X 7.5" (I'd rather have 18" X 8" though) +42 offset for $1,360.00 for four (gunmetal or bronze). www.inlinefour.com had them for around the same price, but now their site says to call for pricing. It's a toss-up at this point between the Work's in gunmetal (depending on what the color combo looks like) & the RH Evolution F10's in silver.

I guess you don't have to toss a coin. WORK's Wheels all the way. JDM, my friend.
Just my 0.2cent.

About 1500 for the calipers and another 100 or so for an adapter type kit.
I'd go with the Work Emotions of any of the three wheels, but at least 18 inch if available.
