Need Advice/Opinions SF Winnings or Work VS-XX??

I can't decide. I think I like the Work wheels better but they have to have spacers. I've never run wheels with spacers before. Are there any potential problems? I have searched and I do find some pics of the Works and more of the Volks. If anyone has any more pics of either one, especially if you have 19" without a drop, I would love to see them! Thanks for your help!

Both rims are hot but i personally love the SF Winnings, they look so sexy, especially on IP.
Ive never heard of anyone have problems with spacers in the past 2 years i've been working in the wheel/tire business.

Yea, your right. The Winnings are tight. I keep vasillating. Others have said the hex bolts around the perimeter are a pain to keep clean. The Winnings have fewer. Bonus. A down side of Volks is their popularity. That may sound counter intuitive but I would like to have something rather unique.

if i had to choose, i'd go with the Work instead. perhaps you should search around for someone who has Advan Sienna's instead. i'd get those over the Work, and Volk wheels.

if you order the correct offset, no wheel should need a spacer. ESPECIALLY work wheels, they are built to spec, unlike volk.

Yea, I thought so too, but I guess I thought wrong. I was told that I need spacers to clear the Brembo's ?? So, there ya go. Does anyone know if there are any pics of the Work VS-XX on our car? I searched but can't find anything.

works can be ordered with custom offsets. they can make almost anything for you, comes at a premium though.(time+money)
Works are 10 times better, though volks are great wheels

even Work Wheels can be made to spec indeed. if i'm not mistaken their widths go up to 14" or so. Ray's doesn't.

the Work wheel you're inquiring about must be something that was made for a G without the brembo option. don't worry about running a spacer with them. the main thing is you get a spacer like Kics Project spacer. they already come studded. all you need to do is get some extended open end lugnuts to complete them with the utmost style/quality to accentuate with the Work.

Thumbs up

Thanks for all your comments and advice. I am almost positive I am going with the Work wheels. When I get them on this spring I'll post some pics. I'm hoping they look real nice!!
