Choose new wheels for me

I am staying with 18s since I like having a lot of tire choices(also a lot cheaper than 19s) and think 18s look good enough, although I have to admit 19s or 20s look better on our cars. Anyway, I narrowed it down to 2 choices for my CB coupe.

Rota P45F/P45R $850+shipping






OR


Work Emotion CR Kai $1299 shipped(current GB Price)




Both are 18X8.5F 18X9.5R staggered setup. What do you guys think? I like the Emotions a little better but Rota's price makes me think twice. Rotas also don't look bad at all... I'm gonna go with Bronze or Gunmetal whichever wheels I buy. They are both cast wheels and lightweight. Works are lighter by about 2 pounds I think. Let me know what you guys think Thanks.

Definitely the works, not even close. but are you sure you want 18s? If it were me I would spend a little more to get the 19s or 20s that you admit you like better.

Honestly,

They're both very nice. But I think just the quality of the works should be better than the Kazera line. Plus, I like the look of the works better...very aggressive lookin rims.

Thanks everyone for the responses. I'm just replacing my beat-up Kazeras and I don't really wanna shell out $3000+ for wheels and tires so going with 19's are out of question here... I wanna keep the cost below $1500 and since I already have fairly new 245/40/18 275/40/18 tires, I am just gonna go with 18s, mount the current tires on new wheels, and use the Kazeras as winter wheels. I would rather put the rest of money I save from staying with 18s towards SC or turbo, which I plan to do as soon as I save up enough money.

Anyway, I'm leaning towards Works here, as they have proven quality, while Rota's quality might be good, but it's definitely not as good as Work's.

Oh, and Works aren't played out at all at least in G community... I have never seen a G with Work Emotion CR Kai's anywhere.

Anyway, thanks for the responses, and as long as I don't find better use for about $400 that I would save if I chose Rotas(Like sweet deal on exhaust system ), I think I'm gonna go for Works before the GB is over.
