Default Work VS-SS or SSR Varden?

Considering either set of these used wheels. I have always liked mesh wheels, but the Works have a nice fat lip. I am pretty sure some of you have seen these for sale on their respective sites.

What does everyone think?


Work VS-SS
Specs: 18x9 (+38), 18x10 (+20)


OR

SSR Varden sports
Specs: 18x8.5 (+26), 18x9.5 (+26)



Car it will be going on:

I like mesh better than almost any other wheel, but the split 5 spoke design with that much lip is nice. Both are quality wheels, so either would be a good decision. I like the VS-SS, but 18x10 +20 will not be "bolt on". Are you ready to run some camber along with a roll, maybe even a (slight) pull?

Yes, SSR Varden sports.

The VS-SS will definitely require fender pulling in the rear.

I prefer the SSR for the mesh style and the more balanced offsets. The offsets will be flush, but will supply ample fitment for some decently wide tires all the same (I say 265R and 245F...so long as you roll the fenders - if you need to borrow a roller, PM me).

That +38 offset on the Work wheels is super conservative in the front, whereas that +20 offset in the rear is super aggressive. You would need a spacer to balance the stance. In addition, I really am not in favor of the wheel design, even though the lip is large and in charge.

Take a look at Scott's Pearl White SC on shiny mesh rims. Granted, these SSR wheels are not 20's, but they will still look super classy on your car.

The fronts should fit an SC real well, but the rears appear to be 350Z/G35 coupe fitments.

Sorry, I may be repeating myself here.

I typically am a Work fan boy, but in this case I can honestly say TAKE THE SSRs over the Works!
