Work Wheels question.

I wish their website wasn't in Japanese. Anyone know of a free translating software?
The wheels I am looking at are the Euroline MH. The VS KF looks sweet, too, but a big lip on it. Some of the wheels look like the lip is for rear wheel drive cars, but they display them on front wheel drives. Does anyone have more info on their wheels, or know where I can get some in English?

19X7.5 would be the prefered size, V, especially if the offset is +50. I'm going to a meet in a week, and hope to ride in a TL with a set of 19's and H&R's (which I have). If it isn't a good enough ride, I will settle for 18's. Price does matter, too.

Edub-TL, thanks for the help.

For 19's they are reasonably priced. Good luck with the test ride.

I hate to "rain on your parade," but the 19s on that wheel is at 8" wide... and the offset is at 42mm.... which won't fit our TLs...

The 18s will fit... the offset is at 55mm. I think the width is at 7" or 7.5"


I have "Work" wheels (Rezax II- 19x8, 51mm)... and I had learned to read the "matching" part of the website...

Where did you see 19x7.5 with a 50mm offset? I looked through every "matching" index and didn't find it... Are you referring to the "Euroline MH"? Or just some other wheel by "Work"?

I never use the "matching" index. I only use the catalog index which gives a complete list of the all the wheels the manufactor makes and they respective offsets available. It is a Adobe pdf file which lists all the wheels made by the given wheel company. Oh and "Sorry to rain on your parade".

Chill out... when I said "...rain on your parade..." I wasn't referring to you.... I was talking to "SimTypeS." And I didn't mean it in a "cocky" way... (some people take it out of context)


Another thing I meant to say... sometimes in the catelog the car featured is RWD... and the wheel has a deep lip... but that same wheel with a high offset for FWD (if they have a wheel for FWD) might a look a lot different due to the high offset.. therefore NOT having a big of a "lip."

I would prefer 19's, but after the meet next week, hopefully I'll be more sure if someone will let me feel the ride with 19's. Obviously a +42 offset would suck, and I don't think I want the wheels to tuck in as much as +55 would. +48 seems like it would be perfect.
But, as everyone probably knows, I am indecisive about wheels.

You bet, the big RWD rides have the luxury of running 10" wide wheels with sweet lips. Not much we can ever do to fix that.
