Just picked these up this weekend. If anyone remembers, I posted about these wheels a couple weeks back and was determined to get them. I couldn't find the gunmetal ones but I managed to get them in white instead. They are 17", 2-piece wheels. I threw them on the scale and they are between 12-13lbs each. The lip is really deep, about 4". I haven't gotten a chance to buy some tires yet and my car isn't back from the shop either, but once I put them on, I'll post some pix if anyone's interested. Anyways, here's the link to some shots of the wheels, sorry for the poor quality, my digi sucks.

How much and where did you get them from?

 

Oh, and these are the pix that started my quest to find a set of these wheels.




I still wish I could have sourced a set of gunmetal ones, but I figure I can powdercoat these gunmetal sometime in the future.

how much did u pay for those?

 

damn aren't those the titanium wheels that cost around 3k? they look sick though.

 

lol, that was totally my bad. They aren't made of titanium. The owner of that white EK above said they were titanium in his EBAY ad selling his car and I thought they were. They are still really light for 17's though and they do cost quite a bit, but I thought they were worth it. My MKIII's are still for sale if anyone's interested.

 

white and polished

 

whoa those are nice. I'd hit it.

 

those rims are sick jerry, they are gonna look nice on your hatch

 

me too........

 

I love those rims!!

 

cool stuff but arent 17s kind of large for EKs?

So what are they made out of? aluminum forged? cast?

 

sweet rims
please tell us how much?

A couple ppl have asked me the specs on the wheel so here they are:
17x7, 4x100, 2-piece welded, +35 offset and from my bathroom scale, they hovered between 12-13lbs each. They are forged, from what I was told. Their not exactly cheap, around $500 per wheel. And yeah, I don't really like white wheels either, but the person I bought them from sold out of the silver and gunmetal versions. Like I said though, I will probably powdercoat them black/gunmetal sometime down the line when I get sick of the bright white on my black car...

 

Sick wheels, I like em'. 17x7,+35 offset? I hope your not slammed?

 

oof, that offset is scary. Anyway, they look great. Nice that they are that size...yet are sooper light.

What kind of tires are you gonna run?

 

i love it

 

Those are very nice rims. I wanted them for a while but then decided not to buy them... I decided to get the Meister 1 piece design instead. Uhmm... As soon as I get off my lazy *** and get them. 18x9 rear 18x8.5 front. Its gonna be dope.

 

sup marty,nice rims but a taad too big for my taste

 

My friend has a hookup on Toyos or Yokohama Parada's, so I'm going to look into that when I get my car back. Yah, I was looking for a wheel that was similar in weight to my 15" SSR's but a bit larger and these fit the bill.

 

They look dope but that odffset is damn nasty with the height of your ride. I roll 17x7 and tuckin rim in the rear and almost all the tire in the front and thats with a 43 offset. I tried my buddies with only a 40 offset and with that I couldnt tuck w/o BAD rubbing and rubbing is NO GOOD!

Good luck man. rims are mint!

 

Nice choice! The whole line of Work Meister S1 and S2 wheels are really
sweet.
