Default Alternative To Work VS-XX Wheels

Just like the title says, any other alternative to Work VS-XX? I already know about BBS and Volk SF Winning. Advan and Racing Hart C4 are discontinued. I like the looks of Work VS-XX, just want to know if there are others that looks like it. BTW, I realize it takes 12 weeks to get Work wheels and they are expensive. Are they forged?

The VS-XX is a 3pc wheel. It's comprised of a forged barrel and a cast center. As far as alternatives are concerned, the only one I could think of that actually looks like a VS-XX would be the 'Daytona' by Rial. Not sure if they come in out bolt-pattern though. I'd contact tirerack.com to see whether or not they have fitments available for your car.

Here's a picture of the Daytona



Quite an attractive lookin' wheel

Work VS-XX are cast face, forged barrels...(correct me if i'm wrong)
It does not take 12 weeks to get...usually 6weeks and they are quality finish/construction...you get what you pay for...

If you like the Work brand and want a fully forged wheel, the Rezax II's are 3-piece forged...but will cost you a bit more...

edit: you beat me to it seize...haha

Thanks for the info on Rial wheels. Tirerack says it does not fit a 2006 IS250. I just don't know if I want to wait 3 months for Work wheels.

I have the VS-XXs on my GS and it took 6 1/2 weeks from the time I ordered them to be made/delivered from Japan. Volks are typically 3+ months, but Works come in much faster. I was told up front 30-45 days, but my wheel guy tells me that he's seen them come in sometimes less than 30 days. Some Work distributors keep common sizes in stock so you could have them in a couple days depending on finish, size, etc.

TrafficStar RTM, the spokes goes all the way to the lip so the wheel looks visually bigger...
