yeh was going to go 19s but purely cos the cost of tyres compared to 18s are a joke.

Question Does anyone know anything about these used Work wheels i purchased today?

Greetings,
I humbly join this list with a purchase I made today. A slightly dirty, used set of Works that I will clean and polish to nicest level possible. They are nothing like a shiny set of Meisters but the easily beat the grotesque chromes I purchased with my car.

This is the first time I have ever spent any significant money on wheels.

I figured this would be the best place for my questions.

1) What series Work wheels are these and from what approximate year?

2) I looked up the VS model that is on these caps, I assume they are not originally with this wheel. The VS saw online were more BBS honeycomb style.

3) What caps go on these wheels?

4) How should i restore them? (pretty dirty on backs)

(Sorry about the gigantic, un-artful pictures)
Thank You!

any chance you can take a picture of the inside of the wheels? there should be more useful information stamped into the inside of the wheels/back of the face of the wheels.

I am taking them up to my storage space to apply a preliminary cleaning to them today. The inside was pretty dirty but I will take pictures after it is clean enough to read.

Whats the most effective thing I can use on the dirty insides to clean that is safe for them?
