The works are "brand name" but the XXRs look better. I'd get the XXRs.

as much as i dont mind rocking knock offs, if i could get a good brand for the price of the knock off, id go with the brand

plus if he gets tired of these wheels he has a better chance getting back what he paid for or trade them for other sets of name brand wheels

the problem with knock offs is once u try to resale them, its hard to get back what u paid for or trading them without adding lots of cash unless u find someone whos an idiot or a noob to the car world

guys i realize that the works are a better name brand and probably a higher quality wheel.

But the fact is those works look old and weathered.

Too bad u put a deposit on them because the other wheels were the better choice all around.

Just my opinion is all

Actually Im paying less for the works than xxr. If I dont like them Ill sell them or trade them. So in the end Ill make money out of them.

Good luck


and i wasnt knocking those work wheels--they are a huge improvement over the stocks but they arent head turners either, again no offense dont mean to be negative.
