For the forged models, a LOT. Like, $500+ per wheel for 17s. Every now and then you can find a good set of old school Work Equips for about $1200, which is a steal, but they're a little heavier.

www.gruppe-s.com is a good website to go to if you want to drool over really expensive wheels.

The official US importers for Work wheels are listed here: none of us carry the LS series

Auto R &D: Exclusive on Meister S1, longstanding Vendor and board affiliate. lolz.
AKH: Exclusive on Emotion series and other common Work wheels
5Zigen and HRS: eveyrthing minus the S1 and Emotion.

Auto R & D refers all Emotion series sales to AKH, while all Meister S1 series wheels are referred to us.

The Equip wheel unfortunately is only available in 19" diameter now. All others have been discontinued. Being that this wheel is for an FC I take it that this would not be the wisest option. 19's on FC no good.

There are a few other wheels work has released that may also appeal to you. As an FYI, the wheel you chose is probably the most expensive retail priced work wheel out there. I am sorry to say that the Equip is not an option for an FC.

Some more quick info, the VS-XX is not a forged wheel to my knowledge. We have a matrix describing the construction of the wheel discs on these. Not too many of the Work wheels are forged but are made to be very strong and road worthy.

20B 3rd Gen and Reese know what's up. Can't wait to actually get these rolling on some cars.

Oooooooo!!!!! Meister S1 18" Two piece forged disc and barrel

Woot woot.

Check this site out and look for the AT wheel (3piece) or RAT wheel (2piece)

RH is a German top quality brand and makes high rated wheels for Europe. Now they are in the US.

You won't be disappointed

Will not fit??? Sure they will... Rh has a pattented adaptor system which enables them to

1. make sure that their wheels fit every car. All wheels have thesame bolt pattern, adapors are being supplied according the car they are being ordered for.

2. Offset vcan be altered with Adaptor widths.

3. I f you ever want to sell the wheels to somebody ith a different bolt pattern, he can always buy the adaptors for his car and off he goes

Bringing this back from a bit ago. For what it's worth, I decided to go with Rishie over at AutoRnD because I've seen his fitment work firsthand! Take a look at CARX7s 10th AE. The fitment on there is amazing! He has also worked out a fair number of fitments for FDs. They can be seen over on NoPistons.

Basically, what I'm saying is that, yes, these other companies may deal in Work (or whatever wheel you choose), but part of what makes Rishie that much better is the effort he puts forth and the expertise he has to make sure that you aren't getting something that isn't even going to fit correctly.

Just my $.02.
