hasnt Work stopped the 'emotion' line of rims? if they have i would suggest you get something else, if you curb/damage/destroy 1 rim getting a replacement might prove difficult.

The Work webpage should provide a recommended offset for the CR Kai on an IS. At least that's how i got the offset for my Sporbo Durata's. However, the offset on the webpage might not be as aggressive as everyone would like.

as far as I know it is still available, it's on their website. I will probably get a 5th wheel for spare incase these wheels do go out. But i've seen a member here with the wheels 18inch and it looks very nice. I went to the site and it doesn't really have a recomended size or offset.

18x8.5 +38 Front & 18x9.5 +38 Rear will be a pretty good fit.

There was a guy who was going to try +32 in the fronts. I'm not sure how that worked out though. I know +38 is recommended for the 350's front brakes.

There are some posts for XT7's and CR Kai's in the Aftermarket Wheels thread. I think everyone has +39 all around if I remember correctly.

well... thing is it may be on their website untill they run out of stock but as i heard it they've stopped the emotion line in japan UNLESS Work makes rims in the states, i dunno

maybe not 'stopped' is a good word, 'phase out'.

well the back one is stock, and the front one i'm not sure =p, but funny to notice the stock BMW rim while his fronts are aftermarket.. you can tell by how its pulled in

Are agressive offsets lower numbers (+20, 19, 18) or higher... (+40), this offset thing throws me, makes it hard for me to understand the setups

what you guys think of work emotion 18-8.5 +38front and 18-9.5 +30rear ?
By the way here are a better pic of the above bmw, I think those are the same wheels front and back with a very agressive back. I would love to see these wheels on a isx50.
