Work Super Wheels

[nene]

I have to admit that when it comes to lights and wheels, I'm probably the pickiest person you will see. Even if I have something that I'm enjoying quite a bit, I'm always looking for something else. However, in the end, I always end up back where I started, and happier that way. Just a lesson I've learnt from my other cars and mods.

Okay, so this week I started thinking that what I really want is a 1-piece wheel again. I have my stock rims back on for the Winter, however not with the Winter tires installed yet. And I have to admit that I really like the 9-spoke stock rims a lot. I wish I could get them in the forged manufacturing process. At least they would be strong and lightweight.

Well, so I want 1-piece rims quite a lot, and come to the conclusion that concave (just like the stock rims) is the way to go for a car such as the RS6. It just gives that more aggressive look. If the rim is flat, it's just not quite the same in my opinion.

I've been looking at the Euro 19" stock rims. I wish I could get my hands on a 20" set for real. However, the 20" 9-spokes I saw earlier on were pretty awesome for a Summer set. The only negative point is the weight on those darn things.

So I'm stuck with bigger and lighter than stock, and those are the most antagonistic thought processes if I ever heard one.

And now to the point. I found a set of wheels that you can get for 23lbs and they come in 18x8.5 or 18x9.5. Offsets are 30 or 38, which is great.
Problems:
1. Bolt pattern is only 5-114;
2. Too many bolt holes as seen in pix below.

Here is the image of my latest craze drawn to wheel. I think the blue lettering on the rim can be removed, but alas, they will not fit the RS6. I need to call them up and find out for sure though.
These are the Work Emotion CR.

I love that second wheel I am probably going to back with an 18 once the new car arrives. I am having a problem with just the right front wheel rubbing and I am not going to go to a bigger spacer.
We must research these more!!!

Good Morning Nene, how you doing? Being an authorized dealer for Work, I would suggest that you look into the Work VS-XX wheel, which is more expensive than the wheels you pictured in the thread, however are way more ligher. If I remember properly, the 18in wheels weighs just a little over 19lbs.

Other wheels to look into that are light weight:

BBS RG-R
HRE Collection
OZ Superleggera 3-pc Modular wheel

-If you need some help let me know, and we'll definetly talk.

Thanks Rush for the suggestions. I will look into your recommendations and call you guys.

I don't like running spacers much either, as I need on the 19" iForged set to clear the calipers.
However, if you are seeing some rubbing, it might be that your tire is just too wide. I noticed that my Michelin tires always seem narrower than the competition, even though they are rated to be the same width. For example, my P-Zero 255 are almost a 0.5 inch wider than the Pilot Sports 255. Keep that in mind when you call for tires. Ask them to actually measure the tire width, and compare it to what you already have.

Yes the PS 2's are wider then the competition therefore the spacers. So I am going to go back with the 18's and hopefully get rid of the 19 BBS.

I may be interested in the 19" bbs ...... once you wear out the PoS2 ... :harass:

I have about 10,000 miles on them now. Man that is hard to believe.
