Work Kiwami
These are quite nice alright. I've been eyeing up some of the Gram Lights (57CR, 57DR and 57 Transcend are all quite nice) and I had been having a peep at Buddy Club actually, are the cheap ones any use because they're VERY cheap indeed!
I've also been keeping an eye on JDM Distro, Croooober and UP Garage although the shipping costs from Japan seem a bit painful so I need to figure out if there's any cheaper way to get them back if I did find a bargain. I'll try Yahoo Auctions too!
Irritatingly it's not really the most common wheel spec so the stock options for anyone who's selling used JDM wheels aren't flooded with 15x8 4x100 wheels, I've widened the search to 7j-8j but I think anything bigger than 8j would be silly and I don't want to get into running nonsensical camber either so realistically offset will need to be probably absolute minimum ET25...
I can see myself ending up ordering a set of Work Equip 40 if I don't find anything soon though to be honest. It's not that they're terribly expensive in the size I want but it would have been nice to nab a bargain and have some cash towards the coilovers and other bits.
It's the look that says "I wish he would stop taking pictures of cars, bikes and motorbikes everywhere we go" 😂
As for the wheels I'm really struggling to find the right choice!
I've settled on 15x8 but I'm trying to find something ET15+ which doesn't leave an awful lot of options for off the shelf and reasonably priced (most 15x8 seem to be ET0 and they justpoke out too much for me)...
What I really want is Work Equip 40s but I don't know if I can bring myself to spend c.£1500 on wheels at the moment so at the risk of invoking the distaste of @NurseHolliday I think I might end up with one of the random fashion wheel brands in the short term.
Sadly even Rota have very few options with the offset I need so the best option seems to be Japan Racing Wheels... haven't found any horror stories about them so I think they might be ok for a roadgoing stopgap.
949 6UL and Enkei RPF01 are both obviously great choices but I just feel like they're a bit spendy to not be exactly what I want when they're not a million miles off the price of the Work wheels.
I have also found this website so I'll be keeping an eye on here to see if something nice comes up in the meantime also...
