Default Shops in SoCal (Orange County preferably) that has Work Wheels in their showroom?

I'm about to order a set of Work wheels but would like to see the finishes in person before I make my order. Anyone know any shops around the OC that has them in their showroom with all the finishes? I really want to look at the black chrome.

TIA

I know AutoBacs in Stanton has Work wheels in stock. Not sure if they have black chrome on display, but they should. The last time I went (February), they were displaying mostly VIP wheels.

When I'm ready...I will order from D2Autosport (site sponsor) they have great prices and will save a lot on tax too. Right now I'm contemplating on varianza t1s or spend an extra $1500 for HRE's.

the varianza d3s is freaking amazing.

you don't need to go see them in a showroom, they are proven quality.

mike~well, because HRE's are HRE's (simply awesome)! Not to say works aren't great, but, kinda discouraged they are cast, not forged I believe. But both are awesome...so still on the fence...

Not all Work wheels are cast. My 3-piece S1s are fully forged.

Most multipiece Work and Volk wheels are cast in the middle and the rim part is forged.
