After waiting a long 2 months, they're finally here!
I'll have to wait another week to get them on the car, but a week's not too much longer.
I'll be putting the Work's up for sale soon for anyone interested. They are Emotion CR Kai 18x8.5 +35 Matte Gunmetal.

Question, do you guys think there's any risk to the calipers or wheels with such narrow clearance? The narrow clearance has me a little worried. The shop I bought the wheels through says that it doesn't matter, it either clears the caliper or it doesn't. What do you guys think?

I didn't want to have to use resisters, so I bought a relay harness off Ebay, wired it directly to the battery and pulled the fuse for the stock DRLs. Only downside is the DRL light on the dash. There are harnesses available on Ebay that can be wired to the headlights so they turn off or dim when the headlights are turned on.
Just a few more days!

Can't wait to see it back on the ground with the new wheels!
Also for a 3rd opinion, I wouldn't worry about the brake clearance either. On my GS300, I had enough room to stick a business card between the caliper and the spoke of the wheel and didn't have any issues. Was scared, but ran fine.

Should have been that way from the factory.

Hahaha, wheels are on, but the center caps didn't fit! So just sent those back yesterday. The new center caps should have been shipped yesterday. The extra 5mm going from +35 to 40 has given me the exact amount of room I needed so I'm going to lower the car a bit this weekend. So once the center caps are on then there will be pics with my wife's new dslr. For the meantime, I'll get a cell phone pic this afternoon.

The flats looked so good too. Loving the new wheels tho. A lot lighter than the works and zero rubbing. I keep riding next to black cars so I can see the wheels spinning.
I'm excited to see how this new camera does. Full light sensing chip or something like that...?

Pick your battles. I pick very few because I lose most of the time, but sometimes you win by losing.
Still just cell pics but since it's taken forever to get these wheels and caps and you guys have been so helpful...! I'm in love with these wheels!
Planning to get some proper pics this weekend with the dslr. Thanks again for all the help guys.
