Work Meister S1 vs. Weds SA55m Wheels

I'm having a hard time making a wheel decision based on the fact that there aren't any 2nd gens out there with either of these wheels. They will be going on my 2010 PWP for reference. I can't tell if the 2nd gen looks better with a lip or with a concave multi spoke look. I have attached pics for your viewing pleasure, so let me know which you prefer or better yet if oddly enough you have these wheels POST PICS! If I go with the works they will be black with a polished lip as pictured below. If I get Weds, they will either be matte gray or gloss black.

Work Meister S1






Weds SA55M

Can't lose either way. The Weds are more sporty.

You'd need 20 inch works to make it look like they are 19s..... And I don't think it looks that nice.

That's one thing I worried about with this style wheel it always looks a size smaller then it Really is. I do really love the lip though.

Those works are hideous. The SA55's will be so much nicer on a 2G

What I like about the works....huge lip, and thick spokes to hide the puny brakes of the TSX. I like the Weds because they are more sporty looking, but have tiny spokes which shows a lot of ugly brake. Also the paint on the weds tends to chip very easily due to the design of the spokes. I'm still torn

i just dont think the works fit the cu2, and if u dont like the brake, have you thought of getting new slotted roters and stuff? or if u like thick spokes, maybe some volks te's?

I thought of the TE's since they are one of my favorite wheels, but I had them on my last car so I was thinking something a little different. I contemplated a BBK but I dont see myself doing a brake upgrade for a long while. I personally don't think slotted rotors make it look any better but thats just my opinion. I wish I could see what either of these look like on a CU2.

I can picture the 2G TSX go either way, You'll need a PHAT lip for the Work Meisters and do the 'hellaflush' them to look right IMO, though.

On the other hand, the 2G TSX looks pretty dope with a 'race' type wheel. Look up the Realtime 2G TSXs for reference. I'm pretty sure the RPF1s on the 2G TSXs are 17x8 +35 or +38 and possibly running spacers

Like ed said if the brakes are the problem then BBK it up. You should get someone to photoshop those rims if you're still considering them

The weds are cool, but the Works are absolutely terrible looking. Almost looks like the deep dish wheels they sell at pep boys that gardeners drive around.

I have the 18x8.5 F14's in matte black on my 2010 palladium TSX. I had them weighed and each one is 17.8lbs. If you do get them be patient it takes a while. They make them as the orders come in. I can tell you this it is definately worth the wait! I will post a picture when I figure out how. I am new to the whole forum thing.
