Update:
Just finished taking off the TE37s and put the work meisters on. I must say.... WOW. I love them 10x more than the volks. Might throw a 5 mm spacer in the rear but it's almost flush.
Tomorrow in the morning is when I get the headlights and bbk installed.
Don't want to show you guys pics of the work wheels until the rotora caliper is sitting behind the wheels so stay tuned till tomorrow night when I get back to cornell from jersey.

hmm i don't think you will be able to add spacers unless you extend your studs or get the project kics flat spacers and cut your stock studs shorter because the work s1's don't have the indentions on the back of the wheels for spacers. i was about to add 10mm's but totally forgot about it not having the indentions and ended up selling the spacers i just bought. what a trip.

BBK installed, headlights will have to wait another week or so, decided not to abandon dual projector xenon mod.. as a result, longer working time. Lots of custom fabbing to fit that extra projector where the DRL is.
Anyway, my friend was nice enough to snap some shots of my ride with Work Meister S1's and Rotora BBK tucked right behind it.
Fails
1. No tire shine
2. Mild condensation in driver's headlight
Yes, that's NBP, lol.

Love the BBK, but the wheels weren't what I was expecting...Too much chrome, not enough spoke for my taste, but I appreciate the style that you're goin for and the clean set up.

looking good Brian! idk if you answered this yet.. this thread is getting long but is there a center cap option for those wheels? btw.. how's the clearance on the BBK after the wheel was mounted? I saw your previous pics it was crazy.. just wondered if it changed.. Looks good bro!

HAHA I just got these! But I guess if you know me well enough you would think I'd sell these tomorrow, lol. I'm going to keep these.
Ill try to squeeze in some time for rolling shots
I'm probably going to leave the lugs as is... doesn't look too bad
Ya the step lip makes the spokes like tiny but I love the polished lip; these wheels turns more heads on campus than the gold volks did..
Headlights are being worked on.. not done yet! These are my old headlights but I'll keep you guys posted
Thanks bro, will take more once the Sarona wing spoiler goes on
The work meister S1 line doesn't even make center caps (fking recession) haha so I might custom make one or get one from a different wheel didn't decide yet.
The BBK clearance is exactly the same as when I test fitted it. The center of the caliper isn't the issue, the corner of the caliper comes VERY close (and by VERY close I mean 3mm) to the side of the spoke, where the spoke meets the lip. But I don't have any problems.

I understand the concept of the lip. I like that much lip from the edge of the wheel to the spokes (perpendicular to the face of the wheel I guess you can say). It's the ammount of polished aread with all the bolts on it, that's actually on the face of the wheel, that's what I wasn't too fond of. I guess you'd call it the step lip?
