Has anyone ever seen Work VS-XX on an RX-7? I'm partial to mesh wheels, and I think the VS-XX are nice as hell.

There is simply no comparison between Fikse and Work wheels. If cost isn't the object, get the Fikses.

FIKSE FM10s but I'm biased, I'd like to see the FM5 Profils though with the race or silver finish on the center with polished lips.

ALL wheels are overpriced, but Fikse's are HARDLY pieces of ****.

Personal taste is personal taste I guess, but I can't imagine anyone actually thinking Work wheels are comparable to Fikses unless it's out of "JDM" obsession. Fikses are like jewelry.

The reverse bolt mounting ALONE makes Fikses better IMO.

Fikse's are great wheel. But work wheels are of very high quality. Alot of people compare volks to works...they are not even on the same level.

fikse=look all business
s1's = a little more showey

If I had a track prepped rx7 I would have had the fikse's
But I dont so I chose the s1's since they suit the character of my car better.
Both designs are very conservative and have euro origins so it all depends on what your trying to achieve

The S1 looks nice but I'd say the Spirit R BBS if you want mesh or the RZ but I can't find a pic.




update* here they are.
