Default F10's , looks like ima pull tha trigger on these.. opinions plz

hey guys.. as most of you know i was about to join the WORK family but last minute i got a refund on a set of wheels i put an order in for because i found a cheaper vendor which woulda saved me about 500 bucks!

anyways then i stumble upon these wheels.. and imo these are pretty sick..

custom offsets avail for them the only down size is they only come in 20's

i was thinking of getting the pianno black with step chrome lip

what do you guys think of these wheels in general and how would they look on my whip, heres a couple pics of them in brushed with chrome and piano with chrome step lips

and 1 pic of a sick e55 amg rocking these , any 20" wheel guys please chime in on your experience with 20's and any pros or cons i should be looking out for...onnnnnnnnn with the pics










sorry if pics are a little big couldnt resize on this comp

IMO,

I personally not a fan of these wheels...

With 20", you can't really slam the car unless you have air, and depending on the tire sizes, ride quality isn't that great compared to 19"s .

I'm with radical on that one, your car won't be as slammed. I believe there's a similar design for HRE's that weirdazndu had.

The wheels are nice I say do it. Just wondering if its really a three piece rim. If it is your gonna have a very bumpy ride.

which work wheels were you planning to get before?

which vendor woulda saved you $500?


i think the black with polished lip flows well colourwise with your white car and black hood.

These are the wheels i was going to get but didnt pull the trigger because they were 20s and i couldn't decide whether to go 19 or 20.

I personally know the guy whos E55 AMG that is and seen it in person and i cant tell you the wheels are sick in person, he was one of the first if not the first to have these wheels. Really sick wheels and the step lip is cool.

Yeah they are light but they are a good price for really good looking wheels. If i dont get the F10s, i will probably get the 19 inch F14 in black.

i think 19s look best on our cars and the style of rim seem so common to to me haha. i would walk pass these rims and be like heh, he has some nice rims, but i wouldnt turn my head back for a second look. not my cup of tea

my friend just ordered a set of these. Really good looking new wheel with custom offsets at a very competitive price. My cousin just recently became a dealer for these wheels as well. So if you need a place to order them from, feel free to pm me.
