Can I ask how much you paid for those WORKs? A lot of WORKs are special order, unfortunately.. especially the common setups that are always "out of stock" lol

PM me if you don't mind

Waiting is def the worst but HAVE PATIENCE. Its really not that bad. I'm currently waiting on two parts right now. Not only do you have to wait for the item to arrive, but you also have to WAIT for installation. Enjoy your TL man, just try not to break the bank. $3800 for rims = BAAAAAALLLLLLLIIIIIIINNNNNNN!!!

damn man you paid alot for the Works. If you went through a vendor who did you go through. I know of places where you can get Leons for about $3,800 and they are a higher quality wheel. What was the size and offsets you got for the works.

not only that but look into the tpms sensors and mounting hardware if you have that. Also did your wheel package come with lugs, if not look into those as well. Maybe even spacers if you are into the flush look. Alot of things you can do to help the time go by. Trust me i had to wait 3 months for air and another 3 months for my set of work wheels and another 3 months for the wheels i have now. Im still currently waiting on stuff for my car, you'll just get use to it.

what happened was i got wheels from a local shop in south florida and paid 1700 and didnt like them after a week...looked cheap and didnt suit my car(i got them bc they looked like the work meisters)

so i went back and made them order the works and i paid the difference....might be alot but these guys are really cool and deserve the business, my friend has gone to them for years and always top service

i got 19/8.5 front 19/9.5 rear......might do spacers for the back to get a litte more flush but the front should be spot on

make it happen man! all it takes is drive and motivation

i thought about turbo but decided to just do bolt ons, turbos require too much care and im more into style with this build than speed

i got works vs-xx in burning black specs are 19x9 +32 fronts and 19x10 +23 rears. What are the specs on your wheels. That will help determine what kind of spacers you need to get the wheels flush with the fender. For more pics of the wheels i had

Yeah im bagged. The ride is just as good as any coilover if not better as for stiffness i dont think it will ever be as stiff as a coilover. I absolutely love the convenience of being on air. What are the offsets of the wheels?

megans is the next best alternative to being on bags. Sometimes i even wish i was on coilovers to achieve the stance i want but with bags there are to much variables going on with the suspension making it hard but it does make it easy to get over bumps and stuff

You'll be fine as long as you get the proper size tires. You'll also have to roll your fenders.
