after 4.5 months my wheels are HERE!!!!!!!!

First I want to send a big thanks to Rodney for helping me with the offsets.... your the man Rod

Ok so the wheels are Work wheels new for 2009 Gnosis GS3's
spec's are: 19x9 +42 R-disc up front
19x9.5 +35 O-disc in the rear

I'm ordering a big brake kit in the next month or so...just got no money right now..lol Oh and I know i need to lower it more i will be doing that this week when i have so free time!!!!

I suck at taking pics, so if anyone in the NY area is good and want to get together for a photoshoot hit me up.. these pics dont do the wheels any justice believe me..

those look sick man very, very nice!! did you roll your rear fenders? how bout the front did you grind or dremel the edge down? if you go lower you might have to, my fronts are dremeled and rears are rolled, plus i had to trim a bit of the a-spec rear spoiler where it bolts up on inner side, there was some rubbing there now im good.

again sick wheels, the wait was worth it!

Nice wheels....they were worth the wait. They almost look like they're color keyed to match the color of your TL.

ha,ha, yeah kinda,lol.

dude be super careful when dremeling, hold that thing tight one slip and there goes you paint on your fender, that thing has a tendency to want to grab and skip to the outer side of the fender, so be careful.

when i went lower i didnt trim it down, and it sliced up my first set of tires. the corner edge where the fender meets the front bumper is what slices tires.

I guess ill be the first to say I dont like it. color mactched wheels arnt nice IMO.it makes the car "plain" unless your car is white and you got white wheels and or your car is black with black wheels. those are the only colors where color matched is nice.

Im not sure what other finishes they offer for those wheels but if they had brushed/machine faced or just black or just silver it would look nice.

Im also not a fan on the stlye of the rim nor the width and offsets. if ur going to go starggered you might as well show of the rear ALOT more. and gone more agressive, but thats just me...

My opinion is completly honest and thats what a forum is for, by the way, who cars what I have to say? im noone on the forums "yet".

non the less, props for getting brandnew works to YOUR style.

I like em, I like the style of the wheel. It goes well with some of the TLs sharp lines. Plus they are Works, quality wheels not some cheap crap so to you!

Thanks for the honesty...the wheels may not be for everyone but thats why i got them. I was gonna get brushed centers but i had them like that on my past 2 cars so i changed it up this time..
