Default What do you guys think of these wheels?

I'm trying to decide on a new set of rims--I had pretty much decided on Volk Progressiv MEs, but I saw these today and thought they would look good.

Work Emotion XT-7

I was looking the gunmetal finish, and I believe the blue lugs can be changed to other colors (black, for example).

Pros: Cheaper than Progressiv MEs by a long shot (about 50% cheaper)
Cons: Largest size is 18" (was thinking about doing 19s), and the Work Emotion line is cast, not forged.


How do you guys think it'll look on a crystal white IS350? Thanks for all the input.

that's a great looking wheel at a great price. The only thing about it that gives me pause is the weight (being cast) but it probably won't affect the performance compared to the stockers. Going with cast 19"s and 20"s would definitely make a difference.

I honestly think 18"s are the way to go. Unless you live in Fla where potholes are a foreign word, going with 19"s and 20"s cuts down on your tire/wheel protection considerably. One pothole that you can't see because it's filled with water and you could say buh bye to two wheels and tires. Waiting for replacements (2-3 months in my case) would not be fun and seriously cut into my mod $.
