tweak it, tWORK it!

finally got my hand on a set of these.

gonna see how they look on the TL tomorrow. FYI I traded some cheap BBS RS's for these brand new wheels. no extra cash.

BTW I got these w/ the Blue WORK Decals all over them. Spent about 3 hours last night scrapping them off w/ my Fingernail.. It was worth it tho

17 x 9 +44 Deep Concave Face








and the car its going on..



Tires will be mounted tomorrow and I will install them this weekend.

Wow, they look beautiful! I've always had a soft spot for CR KAI's..

Why such conservative offset though?

if his camber is within stock specs, which is 1-1.5 degrees
17x9" +44 isnt that bad
esp with beefy tires!

Spacers don't work on CR-Kais unless you're using the ones that slip over the stock studs or get extended studs. There's nowhere for the stock studs to protrude with slip-on spacers like the Ichiba V2. Ask me how I know

Love the wheels, will look hot on a WDP!

Nice wheels Offset would be decent with some 245 tires but 17 might be a little small?
