Anyone local have work wheels?

[Swifty1638]

I am looking around to see/test fit some work emotion KAI wheels on the talon. I really am curious to see how these bad boys would look on the car. I LOVE the more aggressive spoke design to them, but that comes with an offset, and wider rim. I know I have more clearance then most, being as I am on full coilovers, as opposed to strut/spring perched suspension like normal, but I'm curious to see how these look. Pics for reference:

I know these are popular with evos, but I'm curious to see fitment on a 1g. Anyone have leads on anyone local who'd let me borrow 2 wheels to test? I'd only need them for a very short period of time..

Work's are too expensive, get some Rota Torques

I was also pointed in this direction:

unfortunatly, with that offset, I fear that the wheels will stick out way too far. I hate how I cant get any good offset to the wheels with a 1g.

I agree, but on wheels I'll go the cheaper route.

Google image search turns up broken Rotas as the first result. :ugh: I'd stick with the brand name.

if i remember correctly I had a set of rota slips that fit an evo (they had a rather small off set,) on my 1g, ill see if i can find the offset that they had, talk to GREASEMONKEY he has the wheels on his car now.

These were originally my wheels, the offset was 35mm

I can see skimping on some things, but not the things connecting me to the road. All metal is not created equal.

With that logic, sounds like you need a BMW since $$$ = quality. And they must use better metal in case you get into a car accident and your car gets crushed in the process.

Point being, it depends what you are using it for. I wouldn't use Rotas on a Heavily road raced car, but for a daily or weekend beater, they're fine. I'm sure they have quality testing like most/all companies who'd make such a part.
