Default Looking for input regarding Work wheels..............

I am looking for input regarding Work wheels. I would be most interested in the XSA 02C model. These are 2 piece cast aluminum. My fitament will be 17 x 7, 5 x 114.3, 42-44mm offset. 15 or 16 inch wheels is not an option for me..................I have my reasons.

I am currently running a set of Momo Corse RPM wheels on my 1995 Civic EJ1 coupe. Overall I like them, but they are not my dream set of wheels. My dream set of wheels are in the league of Work or Volks. The whole car has much $$$ invested, so the price of a set of Work or Volks is not a major issue.

The main difference I can see between Work and Volk are that Work wheels are all cast aluminum versus Volk being forged aluminum. Cast versus forged always brings up debate about weight and strength.

Since Work wheels are all cast, is there something special about thier casting process? How light are there 17 inch wheels (haven't found websites with weight data)? What is the perceived quality of Work versus another set of JDM wheels? Anybody ever have any problems with them?

Here are the Work XSA 02C wheels I am interested in pictured in 4 potential colors. I think all of these colors would suit my car just fine, but any opinions about which finish would look best on my car would be great.

WORK XSA 02C IN BLACK CHROME

WORK XSA 02C IN SILVER

WORK XSA 02C IN LIGHT GOLD

WORK XSA 02C IN BRONZE P.S. I have many bronze engine bay pieces so these would continue to add the bronze touch.


Here is my EJ1 Civic as it looks right now:
