New rims are here
Got home from work tonight and my new rims had arrived.
I have just fitted Tein CST's and front LCA's and have steering rack bushes to go in this weekend.
Will hopefully do a test fit this weekend to see if I need to roll the guards much. A loaner roller should be here soon if I need to roll the lips.
I ordered the Work XD9's in bronze. Fronts are 18x9+30 and the rears are 18x10+38. Hope to be able to get as big a tire as possible on the rear.
Car is a dark green 93 Soarer V8. I was originally looking at the gunmetal gray but I think the bronze will suit it better. Have the lightweight duralim wheel nuts as well which are crazy light. Also have some nice Work centre caps.
Not sure if I am going to keep the sticker on the spokes. Prolly ditch it now before it gets messy.

Hacked CL to become a Mod
yes..good WORK
i'd say keep the sticker, there are so many cheap knockoffs and really that's one of the more obvious way to let everyone know it's authentic

Thanks guys.
I can't wait to get them on either! Still, things need to be done properly in the right order so it will be at least another week before they are fitted.
The wheels have WORK cast into them so it's obvious that they aren't knockoffs.
I still think the sticker has to go :-)

Personally I think the sticker is the easiest part to knock off. The casting of Work into the wheel and other touches make it obvious to those who know that these aren't knock offs.
The sticker is going to go!

I think those stickers glow in the dark... Test it lol. I think I have seen one light up before, pretty wicked.
Glad you got them. I was really close to ordering the set and then I stumbled on what I have now. You'll be the first I have seen on an SC, besides my photo chopped version.
GL, there should be no reason why a 275 in the rear wouldnt fit with some negotiation of the fenders.
