I actually like both wheel company, but if money isn't an issue i'd definitely go with with the works. Also, you mentioned your going with an "aggressive stance'', Does Vossen even offer aggressive offsets? I aways thought Vossen spec's were more conservative.

VOSSEN: http://www.vossenwheels.com/wheels/VVS083.aspx

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Work makes some incredible wheels, always loved their stuff In regards to Vossen as you know we have tons of happy owners here and we support the Lexus scene with meets/shows/events all over. As you can see we are easy to reach, since I'm posting on a Holiday

We also offer an industry best 5 year warranty. This aligns similar to Lexus owners expecting a similar experience of ownership with non Lexus items.



Good luck with your choice!

If your planning to go 20's then I would say go with the Vossens. But if 19's then Work all the way.

Obviously, $$$ is not an issue for the OP, my vote is for Work...

But those Vossen look so damn sexy on the IS...

Big price difference and complete different manufacturing process. It's tough to compare a 3 piece wheel to our low pressure cast monoblock wheels. Anyway.. they are both great wheels. I personally really respect and like Work Wheels.

To answer your question about if we make more aggressive offsets.. we do. But its not for everyone.. that's why most people go with our more conservative offsets.

We make:

20x9: +20, +32, +38

20x10.5: +15, +25, +45

Exactly my thought javy, comparing apples to oranges. I never knew they offered the 20's +15 or + 25..

OP I just replied to your PM, let me know which Vossen setup you like and i'll let you know what you will need to run that same exact setup.

WORK wheels are great, but you'll have to wait 2+ months after ordering a set....

You can get VOSSENS over night as they are here in the US and have an east coast and west coast facility.

Not to mention they have a 5 YEAR WARRANTY which no other wheel company offers.

VOSSEN FTW and if you ever decide to sell the wheels, I can tell you from experience VOSSENS will sell before you can blink.

You can search the forum and i'm sure you won't find anyone who WASN'T happy with their set of Vossen wheels.


As for aggressive fitments, here's one on a GS



One on my old IS (VVS-084's 20x10.5 +30 rear with a 255/30/20, cut and pulled fenders, slammed on Tein SS Coilovers at the time, rolling static)

if you want mesh look maybe look into the Vossen CV2s. im a fan of both..it just comes down to price, patience(wait time on works), warranty, and support
