Finally!! I got a production sponsorship with WORK and ordered these 3 months ago, but I haven't really said much, I just wanted to post it up once they were here and on, so here it is! I didn't want the same wheels everyone gets, so I narrowed down a few choices and decided that I wanted the Eurline FS. I've never seen a Y33 Q with them before (not to say no one has ever done it) and really liked the design and thought it would look great. IMO, it certainly does!!

Specs:Front 19x9 +18 O-diskRear 19x10+25 O-disk

They calculated the offsets for me and asked my opinion, I thought it sounded pretty good so went with it. In the end, they're perfectly flush front and rear and it looks great to me.

A BIG, huge thanks to WORK Wheels USA for their support. I'll hopefully get my exhaust done this week, I need to get my lower trim and front lip painted, get navigation and screens and then my Q will be pretty much finished and I plan to drive it for 3 more years. Anyhow, here are the pics!

Boy... I'm going to sound like a real a-hole with this one. But, I like the other wheels A LOT better.

I hate for the first reponse to be a negative one... especially on such a good looking car. But, Kevin, I think you've taken a step backward.

I didn't like the lip much when you added it...but, that has grown on me a bit. I still don't like it... but, it doesn't look revolting to me now like it did the first time I saw pictures. So, perhaps the wheels will grow on me as well.

I REALLY like the clean, straight lines and look of the TSW's you had. And, when I was reviewing the wheels in the link you posted for the Work wheels a while back... I saw some wheels that were very attractive. I just don't think these are the ones.

Sorry, man. Still a beautiful car though.

I like em better than the other ones. they look like they actually belong on a big car, unlike the other ones which IMO would have been better on a smaller car...

An updated classic.

Weights and tire sizes please!

Not really digging the tacked-on lower front lip, but if you like it, who cares?

Beautiful... absolutely beautiful. I'm curious, how much would a set of those run? and what is the lip size on the rear?

Thanks for all the comments, keep 'em coming!

I don't know what they weigh, I picked them up Saturday morning, went to the shop, had my tires taken off the TSW's and put on the WORK's and then drove home and sold the TSW's. I would say they weigh about 20-22 pounds though. They're 2 piece wheels and very solidly built. The finish is perfection, but for the money they retail (~$760 each) they better be!

Sizes are posted above, and my tires after 1 year and several smoky burn-outs look perfect all the way across. Of course, I only put like 8k a year on it so that helps I'm sure. The front lip is 3.5" and the rear lip is 4".

Once the spoiler lip and sides are painted it will look complete. The Stillen lip fits like OEM, there's not a gap anywhere, when it's painted it will look factory, but aggressive.

The TSW's went to a member on here with an anthracite G35 coupe, it should look amazing on his car. I always liked them, they have a nice sparkle to them when you're driving.

I'm digging the lip and fitment, but not the spoke design so much. Overall, the car looks great as always...

Is that rear spoiler an OEM part?

the wheels are nice, much nicer than your former TSW's.

car looks beautiful!

I don't really like the front bumper stillen lip, it's too aggressive and does not match the flow of the car.

IMO a full bumper aero kit would really set it off.

Kevin,

I like your choice of wheels. It's still nice and a classic 5 spoke design.Your car looks beautiful and with lip has more aggressive stance.

Agreed, I always thought the TSW's were more of a FWD style...

The Works are much more classic, and really make the car look aggressive.

I liked the straight, clean lines of the old TSW's. Not that the new ones aren't clean... but, I liked that pin straight line. It looked to match the rest of clean lines on the car...especially with the black accents in the wheels.

Since I am clearly in the minority on this... I'll assume my taste is whack...so, I'm sure these are better than I think they are. To me, though, they don't look as good.

Looks nice, but I'm currently in love with split 5 spokes and basket weave/mesh wheels, so my judgement is impaired .

Be interesting to see some similar pics like old/new.

Thanks for everyones comments. I really like the old TSW's and always did, but these are more of what I really wanted anyhow, I'm in love <3 lol.

Jeff, I have always detailed my own cars, I wrote a detailing quick guide that's an article on another forum, VIP-Culture (I offered it here first).

Sick as always.The new wheels remind me of a mid 90's Impala SS. Not bad but definately aggressive looking. I kinda like the TSW's as well, but this'll "Work" too.

I'll trade you my piepans for your old wheels . Just kidding, I'd never get rid of my piepans . Wheels really make or break a car. I love your new wheels and love how they look on your car. The long wait was well worth it. Congrats and hopefully you don't have many potholes to worry about.

How's the ride quality?

Can you share the link for your detailing guide?

Wow!!! That car is purely amazing Falk. I am sure you West Coast guys could show up some of these Miami guys here what style and class is all about. I have noticed lately on NICO the shift seems to be going towards the Y33's becoming many new members and them taking the car to the next level such as yourself with some really nice accessories and wheels.

Here's the link Detail guide

Thanks guys!! Roads out here can be pretty bad, you have to learn where to avoid, what lanes not to drive in etc. Overall, ride quality is unchanged, they're the same tires I had on the old wheels, but the new wheels are wider, and more spaced out so it felt a little different when I first started driving.

I love 'em, Falk - gorgeous!

But a suggestion: a more aggressive angle would look better in your signature pic. That flat angle doesn't do 'em justice.

Much better.

How 'bout the low-angle shot from the third pic down, in your original post?
