Default Picked up my wheels finally!

Finally picked these up from ASAA,a local shop,today.Now I just have to order coilovers for the ES3.These only took 2months to get here.I was expecting no less than 3.They are custom made offset & width.I love the quality on Work wheels.I've owned several Volks,Advans,etc,but right now my $$ goes to Work.

18x8.5 +25 all around....




Shazaam....




And my ES300 they will eventually go on....


My other mod I have done along with tint.Cleared tails....



Those Vienna wheels in the pic were sold a while back.I only put them on there for a test fit.Car will be slammed of course

I'll see how soon I get these mounted.I kinda wanna sell em since Work came out with a few new designs but oh well.

-Alex

PS:Thanks to Hoebag for getting me the right aggressive offsets.

Not the best quality, but I think Smitty got free coilovers cause one of his blew. Plus they go LOW.

Here goes some test fit pics.Im very happy with them



I dont see tires getting mounted on them for atleast another month.Im putting my s2k as my main priority again since i have some mag shoots waiting on it.I like the new Work Varianza series,so I will have these sitting pretty for now.Maybe someone will offer to buy these in the mean time & ikan order some Varianzas!I have the tendency to switch wheels a lot.Sometimes before I even get them mounted.lol

And I'm having major problems with Ksport right now and after dealing with all the issues I definitely recommend going with Tein or JICs. PM me if u want the details but just a friendly warning.

ES BL155 - thanks man.I've always admired the style on these.So classic,it will never get old like the Volk te37.

Smitty - Im a tein guy myself.All my other projects had tein coilovers.I dont think they make em for my model ES3 tho.I will check it out,if not then JIC.I have been hearing nothing but fail stories with Ksport I really dont wanna go with a spring & shock setup.I like adjusting it to the extreme.

Asad - Im no wheel wh0re.Not with this car that is not yet!Buy these after I rock em for like 2 months and i'll get me some varianzas.If i get this old school crx im throwing some 15in varianzas on it.lol

charley240
- Yes i love the F2S!!! If i sell these 1 day,im getting those or the D3S wheels next.But the F2S is definitely my 1st pick.

looks good, gives me a good idea on how mine will look. You'll probably get yours mounted long before I will at this point, snow is already flying . Too bad you're not closer, we could do a "twins" photoshoot,lol. Just noticed something, are your centers painted silver?

Not sure about your gen ES but I know I can used the Teins off the V6 Camry. I'm extremely disappointed about my Ksports but we're still trying to work it out to make it right. I definitely like the adjustably though. Need to get that nice Bippu stance lol

Both of your rides in a photoshoot would be so hott!! I wish some of the other ES owners lived closer so we could do one big meet. Oh well, we can dream.

i love my tein ss coilovers, i have been riding it harsh/carelessly around houston and not once have i complained or gotten any problems. i have the the max drop and im tucking an inch of tire all the way around. the tein's are very smooth, ride/handle great!

GREED777 - Snow?What is that? Yeah we never get snow.Maybe like 2-3 years ago we got like 1/8th of an inch of snow.We were all amazed by it.lol.The wheels centers are the standard silver center finish.I really like it in person.You can see all these little metallic sparkle bits in it.

LXMN
- Yup we never have to worry about locking up our cars for the winter.No snow plows needed over here

Smitty
- So far all I can find is Ksport coils for my year.I might just do some measuring and order springs.I really like rolling slammed tho.I'll see i still have time to decide.

Asad - I love my tein coilovers too! I just wish they made some for my year! Now that your slammed you need to get wheels. for xmas!! You better let jdm santa know what you want.
