Don't forget to throw in a photoshoot, so you can compare which set you liked better.

Works and HRE all make some nice wheels but everyone has Works or volks...

the HREs will fit like a glove.....the quality and craftsmanship far is superior to the works (not that the works are bad or anything)

plus, everyone and their mom has works here on CL. they are played out. HRE are for the win.

Welcome to CL.

You can't really go wrong with either one. I like how HRE's lip edge is rounded but I like Japanese made wheels though. But that's just me.

What finish are the HREs and what color is your IS? What color are you planning to go with the Works?

My first welcome...Thanks...

I don't know..but I think i'll pick up the HREs first then if anything the Works later...

Is that a good hook up? You tell me, cuz what do I know right? Granted they are used...but in really good condition..no curbs...is $3500 a good price? No tires.

If you like black wheels then get the HREs. I think the price is average I guess, I've seen cheaper prices on Craigslist.

I like silver wheels cuz you can see them way easier than black wheels. Sorry but i don't like black wheels.
