the meisters look better than the one in the pic but it gives the basic idea. 335s on the rear.

I'd say yes. The meisters are savory.

Don't do it, I was just talking to Rishie earlier about these. I can't make up my mind right now, but in case I do want them, I don't want anyoe else to have them.

J/K, they are really sweet and would be a nice choice of wheels.

Per my reply to your PM, they look pretty damn badass and are high quality wheels....at 2/3 the price of Kinesis/Fikse.

There is plenty of exposure here. It is a wheel question so it belongs in the wheels section.


However, I don't get what the problem is.... If you like the Works, get them. Its your car. However, IMO, there are better looking wheels out there than the Works when you are talking those kind of prices.

i was kidding on the exposure.

the reason for this thread was for someone to make suggestions on other brands of wheels in the same range. i only know of work and ccw. these are not my favorite wheel and kind of look chunky to me. what othe rbrands offer the size and offset i need?

So the wheels in the photo above are actually

WORKS IMITATION of the MEISTER.

That wheel is the Termist S1C which is no longer avaliable and not nearly the quality of the Work Meister.

The Meister has forged inner and outer barrels, where as the wheel above is ACTUALLY A 2 PIECE. I never seen a wheel made like this. Basically the inner barrel and the Face of the wheel are a CAST UNIT, then the outer barrel is simply bolted onto that assembly.

BUT YES THE MEISTERS WILL LOOK BETTER and I really don't think it gets much better than this when it comes to the engineering qualities they have introduced into this wheel in order to make it TRACK WORTHY.

Some more photos of meisters below:
POLISHED


THIS IS THE WHEEL AND COLOR ON THE ENDLESS FD AND IT SHOWS IT'S BRILLIANCE HERE:
CRYSTAL SILVER


MATTE GUNMETAL


Black:


MORE POLISH WITH LIP:


Thanks, Rishie

Right now, my preference for a more expensive street rim would be from Jline:

I believe Rishie is a dealer for those rims as well so if you are interested in one of their models, he could probably get you hooked up.
