Default Work Wheels any good?

I can't seem to be able to find the SF winnings I wanted unless I wait for about 3 months so I'm looking for alternatives.

Looking at the PIAA super Rossa as well if i can get them fast. Otherwise i'm gonna say screw it and wait for my beloved SF winnings.

So what is the question?

Are PIAA's good wheels or are Work Wheels any good?

If your asking if Work makes a good wheel you should be laughed at.

Well, just take a look at the type cars they put it on on their site & you tell me?
http://www.worksuperwheels.com/

As far as PIAA's, the only one I would buy from their line-up are the Super Rozzas. I think they're still fairly new the manufacturing of wheels game but I have yet to hear any issues about their quality so I'm sure they're pretty good.

Fine laugh all you want. I have no frickin idea but i asked about Work wheels. Super rozzas seem like nice wheels too, but i'd still rather take my SF winnings.

BTW the website isn't resolving for me, seems we've been having DNS issues for the past few days.

I'm confused about your question in the first place. You are asking about WORK wheels. You mention the PIAAs as being ok. And you really want your beloved Winnings. Either suck it up and wait for the Volks or settle for something else now. Work wheels rock!

Most vender that sell WORK Wheels have to order them overseas especially if you want a custom job (I'm waiting right now for my rims). I'm not to sure about PIAAs but either brand you want, you'll have to wait.

Good Luck!

OK to answer your question.

WORK = Super great performance wheels, but not so flashy (depending on what style you get).

SF = Great wheels, but more show, as they are kinda heavy.

PIAA = Hear good things about them, but never had a set.

Work is one of the best companies...4 wheels. I'd get work before most other companies... advans are great too. Volks are a dime a dozen now , even though they're so expensive.

Works > Volks !!!!

How dare you! haha

But yes, Works are awesome, they are built for strength.

Waiting 3 months is the norm for Japanese imported products. You have to wait for the good stuff.

You tell me what you can get here in the USA that's decent...ADR's?
