Default Input on these 2 set of rims

First work vs-mx stagger front are 18x8 and are 18x9. Not too much lip about 1.5 inch lip on front and 2 inch lip on rear. They are local and come with tires. Or I was thinking on the xxr 521 18x8.5 front and 18x10 rear in gold.

What you guys think?

Work VS-MX all the way. Not a fan of the centers on the XXR's, although not a bad looking wheel.

Works!!! They have a better resale value that xxr's do and the lips are stronger too. Atleast that was my experience. If your paying full price XXR cuz they are way cheaper but if not and they are both priced around the same get the works!!!

Dont you dare get 8.5 in front. If you buy the XXR's go 18 x 10 the whole way around. I have the XXr's all hypersilver. havnt mounted them yet because of the Rfp1's but they look damn sexy just sitting next to it. I will try and get a picture of them. i only have 3 right now cause i killed my other car and one of them fell victum and is all bent to hell.

Depends on your build goal I suppose...If you're planning on dumping a good amount of horsepower to the wheels I'd go with a wider wheel to compliment the need for more contact patch...but the Works wheels are most definetly more status inspiring...nobody cares if you're running XXR...but if you're rolling on Works? Oh yeah!

i have no problem with cheaper wheels, damn i even bought some mysefl. You going to bent the most expensive stuff too like work, bbs...etc. All wheels bent and especially the 2 and 3 piece wheels, i just cant stand the multi bolt hole it gives it a very cheap image like you bought them from pepboys they fit your lexus but they would also fit a vw jetta...lol i say go for used works.

Get pics when you put them on. Seems to me like there would be some rubbing issues with a wheel that wide in the front, but maybe not.
