Default One More Time! Wheels Finally Here! See Last Page!

Several guys have been taking bets how long it would take for me to get new wheels. Well, I did it again. I've ordered a set of Work Varianza T1S. There were several reasons but the main 2..........I don't like the polished finish of the current wheels and I want to go staggered. Here's a pic of the wheel:

I chose 20x8.5 35 offset f and 20x10 45 offset r, machine polished finish with a clearcoat. The rear lip should be very nice.
I always knew I would get something else. The first time I had to polish the ZE Forged wheels I knew I wouldn't keep them long. This time, this is it for a while.
This means the ZE Forged are for sale. I'm asking for 2K.

Now the wait, 6-8 weeks.

Great choice with smart sizing of the wheels and offsets. I doubt rubbing is an issue unless you have Tanabe DF 210's.

When it comes to wheels and getting the best bang for the buck you are a genius.

Thanks guys. I think they'll look great too. I'm a little concerned that so many people will be wearing the same shoes that you lose the exclusivity but que sera sera.

I have a chance to get a used set right away for $200 more or wait for the new set. Tough choice.

Also wondering whether to go 275-30 or 285-30 for the rear tires. What do you guys think?

Instead of a ps, how about this pic. It's not a GS but it's a light colored luxo-sport sedan so we should have an idea how it will look. Oh, these are 19's so my 20's should look better.
