Wheel opinion

[Tdishon]

Just looking for some opinions...Thanks guys. Work wheels:

Maybe a brushed lip and satin black center.

Look very similar to Simmons wheels. Do they come in our bolt pattern?

 

[Tdishon]

They do come is the correct offset and bolt pattern. A lot more options on color, etc.

I have seen them on a couple cars and they look great. Just not sure about a GN.

Since you asked I think those are gorgeous. I'm just not feeling them on a GN though. They are more of an import wheel. I really would have to see them on one to make a final decision though.

I'm not too good with photoshop but some people are, that is what I would do to get an idea on how they would look on a GN..... If it were me I would opt for the satin paint instead of the gloss...

I think that they would look really sharp in an 18, gloss or satin. The car would have to have a lowered stance. What kind of off sets on the rears?

 

[Tdishon]

My rear backspace is 5.5". I currently have 17x11 with a frame notch.
The front is 17x8.5" with 4.75" backspace.
I think 18" with a machined lip and satin black center would look great!
you're right Scot, I need to do Photoshop on this.

hello people; I like them but IMO if you can get them without the rivets, screws or how ever there bolted togeather I'd do it. What kind of center cap do they have?

[Tdishon]

The rivets are what attracted me to the wheels just like the Simmons wheels.
They do have them without rivets too.
Billet center caps.

hello; Yea, there's alot of others that like the look . Good luck and post what ever you do when there on the car.

Well, here's a Simmons wheel compared to the posted. There seems to be a little more outward thrust to the spokes in the Works Wheel and the center lug area is a tad different, but all in all, very similar. We all know what these look like on a GN, so I don't think they'll be much of a difference at all. Meaning, they will look awesome.

Here is my simple Photoshop skills.

Wow, looks damn good

 

[DavidM]

They look nice.

 

[rag231]

Told you! Killer looking wheel. I want a set now. Maybe we can do a group buy.

 

[rag231]

Roughly how much are they?

 

[Tdishon]

These wheels are Work S1 3p. They are made in Japan. Just found out 8-10 week lead time.
They run about $3,100 a set.

Simmons is two weeks. Simmons is about $3,200 a set.

I really wanted the rim brushed then clear coated not polished. Simmons is looking into it.

 

[Tdishon]

They look like Simmons straight on, but have a radical design from the side. Just not sure if it will look right on a GN.
Here is a mustang with them. Now the offset is way positive(lots of backspace) and out GN's are negative.

Here is the side view and the brushed lip:

The bulge of the spokes might be too radical.

You will have to get adapters as they are a true 120.00 bolt pattern but they are pretty bad a$$. One of the best GNX mesh type wheels I have seen, other than the stupidly priced HRE 501's. Would love to see a GN with them.

^^^^^They are really nice wheels, just not domestic appropriate. The white really accentuates the curving.
