You could buy the original Work Emotion CR Kai's that the Torques ripped off...

And hard to get in a decent size/bolt pattern.

Sure, triple the quality, and how much availability? I understand wanting a good wheel, I really do. For the most part, on neons, we're going to have knock off wheels. It's the same thing that drag car guys do with "summit welds" and weld wheels. The only difference is, welds are easy to come by, and somewhat cheap.

Can you find a company to sell me a set of spoon SW388 wheels in 15x7.5 and 5x100 right now?

Here's a set of 15x7.5 Rota's on ebay right now LINK

$465 plus $55 shipping to my door. They have our bolt pattern, our hub bore, and a badass offset. I don't think I can touch a single spoon wheel for our cars for under $500.

15's.....compared to.....18's

of course its gonna be cheaper

I'm looking for Spoon SW388 wheels in 15's. I found a used set in 15x6.5 but 4x100, for $1500.

My car cost me $1500. There is no way I'm putting a set of wheels that cost as much as the car on it.

works or bust

there are currently 3 wheel companies that replicate the emotion cr-kais.

what does that tell you about work? that they are quality. they will custom paint and drill you your set to order.

neonslg09 · Post by **neonslg09** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 11:01 pm

^--see? thats the 3 times quality compared to rotas.

INVUJerry · Post by **INVUJerry** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 11:02 pm

They are quality, I never denied that, they are great wheels, but, cost is huge.

neonslg09 · Post by **neonslg09** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 11:05 pm

i dont think they make 15's either...hmmm

thanks a bunch.

i got mine from a JDM shop in cali that imports a lot of sick jdm shit.

but here are a list of authentic work wheel dealers:

keep in mind it takes anywhere from 2-4 months for them to get to your house once you order them. just like any other work, volk, advan wheel.
