Default New Year...New Wheels!

Decided to pull the trigger. Waited 3 months again for WORK wheels to build my XSA-04C.
This is the new wheel model that WORK came out with last year.
Will post more pix upon request...

Honest opinions vs my old wheels are appreciated.
I will be posting my previous WORK Varianza T1S for sale by next the end of next week.
Taking offers now...

cool update... I really like the work Varianza T1S. I'm guessing a roll front and shave rear to make these fit? how are the fogs holding up?

Looking good bro! I love how you have part of the front & rear bumper painted black. I've considered doing this for a while, but damn it looks good on your car!

Yup fronts rolled rears shaved w/slight pull. The fogs work perfectly fine still.

The new wheels are semi concaved which I really like and the center spokes have a nice design to them.

Those are one of my favorite parts of my car. Really sets it off all while keeping it oem.

That's why I don't mind the 3 month wait. They really do make a nice quality wheel!
