- - Which of these 2 wheels to get ? (https://www.revscene.net/forums/582562-these-2-wheels-get.html)

I'd go for the T1S wheels just because they are more rare, I don't think I've seen anyone with a step lip locally...only down in Seattle.

the answer to your no over fender but have huge wheels question. roll the crap out of the fender til the metal can no longer stretch and the paint cracks and you can fit the widest possible with no over fender. also with a skinnier tire to allow stretch and wheels line up with the fender perfectly and the tire just gets tucked into the wheel well. pm me if you're interested more. i could probably find you a better size fitment for you if you want to stick with the WORK VSXX another choice would be the WORK VSKF both wheels offer lots of offset sizes.

your lips are almost as wide as my wheels... :(

so I'm talking to my wheel guy and holy shit, he informs me of brand new Work Equips released for 2009.... the Work Equip E05...... I uhhhh..... I hope I don't get flamed for doing this especially after all the help you guys have been... but I'm scrappin the T1S and doing these instead.... I'm always trying to be as original as possible in the G community, and the T1S has already been done, but this hasn't yet... so I told my wheel guy to go ahead and put the order through an authorized work dealer, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping they arrive fast, I wanna be one of the first G's with these wheels. I don't know if they're even taking orders for these wheels yet, still gotta figure it out

the specs I will be ordering

FRONT:::: 20x10 w/245/35 tires offset -6 (lipsize 106mm 4.1 inches) 0 disk!
REAR::::: 20x12 w/305/35 tires offset -6 (lipsize 132mm 5.1 inches) 0 disk!

here's the pics

nice size will look good on your car

those work rims will look sick...

saw ur car on kingsway btw.

those rims will look really good on your car, BUT dont your current rims look similar already?
either way, they will look awesome :D
hope you can get those on the road before the meet :D

Holy shit those work equip wheels look badass on that 350!
I was thinking the same thing as kchan, they look pretty similar to what you already have?

id go VSXX but im slightly impartial....lol

^ you got yourself a killer set of VS'XX's yourself, I already know where your preference lies =p

the Equips on those 350z's are the older model, they're one of Work's best selling rims of all time.

And unless I get really and I mean REALLY lucky, I might get them before the RS meet. I highly doubt it since a set of custom VS'XX's the usual wait time is anywhere between 3 and 8 months from what I've seen with other guys. I'm gonna have the center spokes delivered without any paint so I can have the spokes and rivets sprayed with a semi gloss black which would give it a satin finish to match the car, and the lip will be polished and not chrome, if I curb chrome wheels the closest place that does re-chroming is in California. With polished lips, I got Greens or Panthers here locally.

and yea they look similar, it's the same basic 5 spoke design, but that's always been my favorite. I actually had picked out a set of 360 forged Straight Five wheels I was going to get way before I even considered the VSXX and T1S... only problem is, around the time I was getting ready to place the order 360 forged reputation started going to the shits, they might be on the verge of bankruptcy right now so I don't feel safe sending money there.

I'm still in contact with the 360forged guys and they still trying to sucker me in, I got a quote for $3700 for a custom sized set in 21 inches, which is a crazy price and cheaper than these Equips... but at least with Work, I know I'll be getting my wheels brand new and without problems...

these are the 360 forged straight Five
