Haha, you're still not giving anyone an idea of what knock off wheel you're looking for. Work has a whole line of wheels old and new, and there's a bunch of companies that sell different Work wheel knock offs. Which Work wheel are you looking for?

What I'm saying is, you like a particular Work wheel, correct? Which wheel is it? There's hundreds in their lineup. Do you know the name of the wheel, or do you have a picture, or a description? So that we can tell you who offers a knock off version? Just saying that it's a Work wheel with a big lip on it, doesn't give me any idea what style you're looking for. Meisters? Nezarts?

That first wheel looks like a Volk GT-C. Tenzo Apex 5s look like that, and I think R1 has a cheap version of it, too.

most of the rims you see with a big lip won't have a big lip in a honda/fwd offset anyways...

most don't with a big lip, but there are a select few that actually wer in production with over a 2" lip on them. Just finding them is beyond impossible.
I found out that the old E30 BMW rims actually have about a 3" lip, minus the fact they say bmw on the center cap

i have a 91 318is with 16x9.5 wheel's in the back and 8.5's in the front...there 4x100 and have a HUGE lip. You can find 4x100's with a big lip but you WON'T find them in a fwd/honda offset or size that either won't rub or look like some hooptie lowrider..
