Default Work VS F-sport

i am trying to decide on whether to get the F sport rims or the work schwert sc1 BP rims. however, i couldn't find a picture of Work Schwert SC1 BP on a silver 2is, anybody have it on their silver 2is? can someone post some pixx of Work sc1 on silver 2is?? i found no result in research.




i came across this picture of F sport


guys notice the center cap? !! is that new??? haven't seen that anywhere before!!! i like the blue F center cap better than the plain white ones.

IMO Work SC1 looks better but I'm biased
and there is a price difference........

F-sport rims look GREAT...but some complains that it doesn't look flush enough
while you can pick your own offset with Work Wheel

I can't believe this is even a question! Works for sure. The works look better and F Sport is just a factory upgrade that is whatever to me.

yeah...basically i got enough for the F sport right now and still a bit away from the work wheels. Sry, i am a huge noob, i read over some posts, people were talking about offsets. but i still don't really understand what off set to get, and getting the right off set prevents rub? what else does it do?

first--as far as I know, you can NOT choose your own offset for F-sport

offsets,,can determine,,the flushness,,size of the lip,,and depending what you choose you will either rub you don't rub,,,lol,,,and it also depends on how wide your rims are and which tire sizes you choose...and how low you drop your car..

I used to love the F-Sport wheels because of those centercaps, those centercaps were there when F-Sport first announced, they changed it in the production version.

Oh yeah i used to love the F-sport wheels because of the centercaps also, and still kind of does. So, let me get this straight, so they do not make the blue center cap anymore because they changed in in production version. so the only ones they are selling right now are the white ones?
