What Work's are these?
Alright, found a set of Work Equips for sale for cheap, but I can't find out what model they are... Ive found the "3" which is that weird 4 spoke wheel, and these ones:
But I cant find the ones I wanna get for sale.
They're 8X17+35, 9X17+35 so I assume they'd fit alright in a stock FC?

They're regular Equips.
its just called Work Equip.
They are the originals. Equip 01s, 03s, etc all came after those original 5 spoke 3 piece wheels.
They are totally sweeeeet. I have a (err.. HAD) a set of 18x9.5 +3 and 18x10.5 -10 On my widebody FC. And before that on my 240. They are really sweet rims, actually not heavy (18x10.5s are lighter than 18x9.5 Work Emotion CR Kai) and they are wicked old school.
But alas, they no longer make 17s and 18s, only 19s and 20s+ now. Oh well.

They didn't fit to well on the FC. 18s up front on FCs SUCK. I sold them (not for cheap) and order new wheels 17x9.5 +0 and 18x10.5 -6. Also going to change my rear Sexy Style fenders (30mm) to Origin 50mm, or if I can Find BN Sports. I think the 50s will fit the x10.5 -6 much better, and the 30s are no where close right now. Even with stretched tyres, the 30mm fenders came down on top of the sidewall and rest on it when i was fitting the 18x10.5 -10 Equips. I would have needed a narrower tyre (NO) and more camber (NO) to fit them. Since I don't want either of those, I sold the Equips. Which made me sad, b/c they are such nice wheels. But again, they don't make 17s anymore and 18s i had for the front was just too big of an OD.

are you selling the 30mm rears?
Hey, I have those exact Work Equips on my FD. Same size and all too. 17x8/9 +35
But I had mine refinished and painted black.
And yah, they do fit FC's.

^ Oh, I thought he wanted the ones in the 2nd picture haha. Cuz those are the ones that I have. I have the original original Work Equips, which came with curved spokes like the Work Meisters.
The ones that I have are 2 piece forged, not 3 piece.

Metal's Equips are the same as these:
Except those are 18x9.5 +3 and 18x10.5 -10

Nope. My car won't have BN SPorts while its green. I'm waiting for new wheels to come in (as much as I like the Equips, to run 18s up front i would need some lame ride height). So i sold those wheels. When the new ones come, I'm putting the BN Sports on and painting the car a better colour.
So Justin's car will be green and mine will be very similar looking car, but a totally opposite colour. Which should look awesome when we run tandem.

I posted them up somewhere else and everyone has been trying to tell me that they aren't Equips, even though I've told them that they're the original ones, not the new kind.

To be honest, I have never seen your wheels before.
