    Work Equip 02 wheels?

    Here is the plan:
    -15*8,0 ET35.
    -225/45 rubber.
    -Massage the wheel arches to make them fit (basically rolling them out with the proper instrument).
    -Keeping the huge negative camber I've already got (from the drop) to keep the wheel tipped in in top, so less arch-work is needed.
    -According to the PDF-document i downloaded from their site; 15*8,0 ET35 has a 57 millimeter / 2,25 inches distance from the outer "ring" to the center of the wheel, making it look like the car is rolling around on 4 buckets! This is what we in Norway call "kant", or in English: "edge". This look is unbelievably popular over here in Euroworld.

    Are they ugly, or great old-school-looking? (As you know by now - I like them).

    those wheels are VERY wierd, but i like them for that... i like wheels that arent the "norm" and they give your car a very classic look. Good luck, and nice pick.

    look cool. I say EDM! Do whatever you please. If you make 225 rubber fit, you will have put a foot in new territory if my memory serves me good. How deep dish are we talking about..

    The dish with the width and offset I described is 2,25 inches. Now then, are there any other comments?

    Here is the link to the wheels @ Work's American site:

    Good old school. What is the lip size (without me reading into the wheels further)? Also, have you thought about stretching the tires?

    Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™

    The lip size is, as I stated earlier, 2,25 inches. I love these wheels - they give the 3G the good, old look. Stretching the tires is what I want to do! There more, the merrier!

    They are real 3-piece, and repair-parts are available from WorkWheels Japan, if one is unlucky enough to damage them beyond repair.

    Here are pics direct linked from www.work.wheels.co.jp :
