Work Equip Wheels Who Wants It?

What's up Dudes. Rishie here and just wanted to see if I could do something to help you first genners out.

Sooo, I've been getting some emails about wheels for the 4x110 SA's and I figured I might as well see if you guys would be interested in a Group Buy for

Work Equip 01


Work Equi 03 wheels


If you are interested please put your name here on this list: I will just need 5 full sets prepaid. They would be something like for

15x7.0 and 15x8.0 $1200.00 plus shipping

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Please let me know if you're interseted and we'll move the offical one over to our subforum. You can do custom widths and offsets on this within reason. Offsets only come in set increments.

Thanks, Rishie

Is it the same price for the 14" and what is the width on the 14"?

also can the 03 come in the silver instead of the gold?

These kind of look like a set of wheels I have. I bet their center cap would fit on my wheels.

The 14" will be cheaper. These wheels can go up to 11.5" wide.

Here's the chart: For offsets and width info

FYI, we are one of four direct importers of Work Wheels to the US.

Figure between 60 to 80 bux in continental US. If you want exact pricing go to that link on teh website. ADd the appropriate sizes to your cart, setup the account, get a shipping quote, then remove from cart.

We will never process an order without contacting you first.

THanks, Rishie

If the 03 were to be offered in black center, they would look pretty good. However, for the money, I think I'll stick with my Ronal's............

What are the offsets for the wheels? Is there more than one option for the offset?

Lol... my mistake.

YES, he absolutely is a registered vendor, and this is a Gauge Interest thread, not the actual group buy thread.

Approved. Gauge away

So the offsets are listed in that link in the original post from me. Please click on there and you can see what offsets are available.

As for Color there is only Black/Polish which is a machined finish on the face of the spokes and the sides are painted black. Then there is Gold for the 03 and Silver for the 01 as well.

As for price, not much I can do about that. These wheels are very lightweight, 3 piece wheel, made by Work Japan. I've reduced the price as much as possible. These wheels retail for approx $1600+ dollars.

Thanks Jon for unlocking. This GB would be most beneficial to guys who have widebodied or are still 4x110. This is one of the few Japanese affordable 3 piece wheels you can find in 4x110.

Thanks, Rishie

Alright Rishie, I'm glad my little email to you about the Adva's sparked some interest.

Hmmm I am extremely tight for funds, but if 14x6's could be had for 1000+shipping I would consider selling a bass guitar of mine.

These are not your standard "HillBilly USA" wheels. LOL!!!!! Are you just rambling and assuming that this isn't a deal or do you have some relative comparison to show me that this isn't a GOOD DEAL?????

They are Japanese, Forged barrel, very lightweight. Those of you who know work wheels can appreciate the value of this GB. If you don't know about Work and think this is outrageous, so be it. no one is requiring you to participate.

If you don't have any positive comments or are just pulling stuff out your **** cause this is out of your budget then please refrain from commenting.

I can do the 14x6 for $1000.00 plus shipping and that goes for everyone here who will participate. I haven't started this as yet. Just wanted to see how many parties would be interested.

THanks, Rishie
