opinion needed

getting kinda bored with the rims on my car...thinking about selling the volks and maybe getting these rims...


Work Meister S1-2Piece in gold in 18 x 8 +50

what do you guys think? This is what the wheels on my car look like righ tnow..


Yes? No? These are quite possibly my favorite wheels ever, especially on a staggered offset rwd car. However, I'm kind of skeptical putting them on a fwd car...

Opinions please thanks in advance..

Your car paint looks amazing in that picture. Current wheels are good looking but not my taste. I do like the simpler look of the new ones.

I think your car looks perfect exactly the way it is. It's different and that's what I like about it. The new wheels are too plain IMO.

Your car really is distinct the way it is. The offset thing might work but you got a classy look working well.

Maybe get something with more of a lip. But I think your wheels now look really nice!

Work > Volk; but I'm biased.

Meister S1's in gold look great but because of that step lip your wheel will look like 17s and that itself may cause it to look funny. On RWD cars that hold a fat lip, that wheels is awesome.

Don't know if this'll help, but I originally wanted Work Equips before I bought my Rezax II, but they're kinda hard to find now. Might wanna look into that wheel.

However, if I had my choice I would be rolling on Leon Hardiritt Klosters.

Your wheels look good the way it is, but I think if your gonna get a new set you should change it up on the color of the wheels. Maybe something darker? Either way it's gonna look niice. Gluck.

yea I thought that the step lip would make the rim look funny at first as well especailly since its a fwd car however, I saw silverbuilt's car on the black ssr's and thought that it looked really good. ahhhh im so confused....

keep the opinions coming guys!! thanks

silverbulit's car looks nice--the black spoke design takes away from ppl looking too much at the design of the spoke, but rather at the step-lip setup. you can tell from silverbuilt's car tho, that his wheels look a bit smaller because of that lip.

if you were to get gold, ppl would notice the spokes more than at the step lip, and for you to have both gold and the steplip, i would say get 19s.

Dont get em, I dont think it'll look any better. Put the money towards something like a nice stereo setup.

Do you drag race with these, cuz if not I dont see the need.

And you dont have to get a huge sub setup to improve the stereo, a $500 cd/mp3 player and upgraded component speakers would make a huge difference, and not be heavy.

edit: and the CL is Rosie O'Donelled from the factory, so its not like getting lighter rims can help that.

true + my volks are already pretty light. i guess i've just never really felt a need to upgrade my sound system. The stock speakers work just fine for me

Volk SF Challenge looks good on your car. I don't think Work will look good on your car.

Those Work wheels are designed for cars like Z, G35 Coupe, S2000, etc.

As for the color, of your Volks, I think it would have looked better with Diamond Black or Gloss Black and my next choice would have been Mercury Silver.

The ones that use to be on my White Z Roadster.

Over all, your car looks great.
