Default Find me some wheels, and i will paypal you $1000!!

If you search under my posts you would know that I have been searching for Work Varinaza WBC wheels since 12/12/08. the first couple years, I was being to specific wheel the exact size and offsets. well since I only see them for sell about twice a year I realized i had to take what i can get. especially now that they're discontinued.

The wheel specs i wanted were F 19x8.5 +26-32 & R 19x9.5 +22-32

The closest i found were 19x9.5 +25 & 19.10.5 +25 off craigslist from Hawaii. I'm into them $3500 thanks to shipping I have been sitting on them for over a year, since i didn't even have a car to put them on yet, since i was also waiting for the right IS.

well yesterday I put them on, and they are just waaaay to aggressive for my style. stick out way to far, and too much negative camber for my taste. The only way i can see these looking good, is for a slammed car. but that is not my style either. No gap is perfect for me, and they just look silly that way.

I put the front 19x9.5 in the rear. to see what it looks like, and they look perfect!

So i am a determined fool, and will hold out as long as it takes to find the specs i want.

If anyone can locate me the varianza T1s in WBC for sale in specs mention. I WILL PAYPAL YOU $1000!! or would also trade my rears (19x10.5 for 19x8.5) plus i would pay shipping for both of us. and still pay the middle maN $500

Let me know if anyone can be helpful thanks

Not sure if it's the one, maybe you saw it already. In the web saying.




"Диск WORK Varianza T1S 8.0x19

* двухсоставные
* спецификация дисков*здесь
* стоимость уточняйте у менеджеров магазина"
Means:
"Disc WORK Varianza T1S 8.0x19 * Two-piece * Specification drives here * Price check with the store managers"

"Срок поставки товара "на заказ" составляет 3-6 недель!
Срок поставки может увеличиваться из-за отсутствия товара на складе поставщика, праздников и выходных в стране поставщика, а так же из-за задержек на таможне." means:
"Term of delivery "to order" is 3-6 weeks! The delivery time may increase due to the lack of goods in the warehouse of the supplier, holidays and weekends in the supplier's country, as well as due to delays"

Just a thought, but if they poke out too much why don't you just take the wheels down to a rim shop and have them shave it down to the offsets you want.

There are places like http://wheelflip.com/services/ that can re-lip your wheels and change the offsets. Not sure about the reputation of this shop, but maybe there's one near you? So... do I get $1000???

EDIT...well, I see you already visited this members "garage". But I'll see is I can track him or the wheels down.

If DynamicCK still has these I think this is money!

Can't you just make a custom order to WORK? They take custom orders normally.

been down that road. They no longer make them in WBC.
A lot of sites still show them for sell. but then you call, and they say the site just has not been updated. It is only the black chrome that has been discontinued.

Wheel flip can still customize your wheels and change the offset. Even though they are 2 piece wheels.

Wheel Relipping

We disassemble your 2 or 3 piece wheels and reassemble them with 4 new outer rim shells. For example, we can turn a 3-piece 17x7 +47 into a 17x9 +22.
Pricing starts at $800/set.

^^I guess this is definitely and option. another option is to buy some silver ones, and have them change the finish. But both these option will be pretty pricey, when you include shipping both ways. I figure if i can find some, and fork out $1000 it would actually be my cheapest, and easiest bet.

If i lived in California i would prob just go that route, but shipping prices wouldn't make it worth it to me. however i may have to go that route

Have you checked with Ravspec? They're one of the biggest Work distrubitors in the U.S. and they get in new wheels all the time. They may be able to get you a set similar to the ones you want.
