Default A moment of silence for the WORK Equip.....RIP

I just got the news from WORK, the Equip wheel will no longer be produced. Why they decided to pull the wheel I do not know, but they did. I already asked about a replacement and received no definitive answer. As of right now, the only size availible is 19" (no more 18 and 20"). While I realize that the wheel has been around for quite some time, it is still a great looking wheel, plus its forged.

WORK is going to introduce some new models at TAS in January, (and I am amazed at the new markets they are looking to venture into!). So hopefully a worthwhile 20" replacement for Lexus vehicles is out there.


**CLICK HERE** 19" EQUIPS AVAILIBLE FOR A LIMITED TIME-REDUCED PRICING

In memory of our fallen comrade.

Damn.. I like those wheels.. At first I really didn't like them but after seeing it on GSintensives car and a couple of other nicely modded GS's on here it really is an awesome wheel.

confirmed..by JDM standard, WORK Equip has been one of the longest running wheel(since 2000 debute at tokyo auto salon)...those rims on GSI's car certainly bring back many memories for me as those were the first set of JDM shoe that came into my garage...

a fellow CL gent with NSX also asked about 18+19 set up..BUT, only 19s are available in limited qty

I also confirm this with Japan yesterday. I thought maybe the information was incorrect but apparently it is true.....

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! After going back and forth over rims I finally decided I wanted to go with Work Equips. They are a perfect fit for my style. I can't believe this! I'm so upset and a little depressed at this news. Ok, is there a deadline to when the final orders can be made?
