anyone has tried this brand. I found it searching the internet
the Work Emotion CR 17x7 looks mad!

It seems quite popular amongst Japanese cars, civics etc.

high quality brand, but not cheap. and a little hard to get as not many dealers stock them.

And just a personal thing, but I don't think I would want that much writing on my wheels. A little is fine, but that looks like a rolling advertisement.

Just my .02

dont worry

the writings on the rims are stickers only- and they are optional....

the 17x7 (ET 43 or 47) weighs about 19 lbs

yes they are expensive, but still a lot cheaper than Volk Racing wheels (~15 lbs).

really? Volk Racing wheels run around $400 a wheel, how much are the Works? I thought they were nearly that much?

Those look a lot like Team Dynamics wheels IMO. TD wheels that size (pro race 1) weigh about 17lbs I believe---for $165 ea.


------Edit
Actually, after I saw those wheels on that blue car... they no longer look like TD. Instead, OZ Superleggra.

The base Cooper stock 7 hole wheel is hard to top when it comes to weight. If only it were wider. :smile:

are the Work wheels cast or forged.

seems 19 lbs is by no means light-weight... (compared to volk racing)

but i heard they are quite strong wheels.
