I'm thinking about buying these wheels, but I'm afraid they might be knock-offs or bootlegs, as I'm unable to find any photos of this model. I'm hoping one of you know/have seen this wheel before, and it's authentic. Pictures below.

 

I've never seen those, but that's not to say they aren't a discontinued model. The riveting/spoke style is consistent with the Work VS-KF wheels. Ask to see the brand stamping and labels on the inside of the wheels.

 

Thank you sir!

 

^^ yup, since they are 5 spokes, you should be able to wipe some dust off the inside of the wheel and see the sticker labels inside stating they are authentic

 

maybe try flipping the wheels and look at the inside for engravings or cast-on logo

 

those are nice!
besides old school 5 spoke Work Equips,
i'd rock those wheels!

 

Those are Work equip. They look like mine, but mine is the Crimson wheel type. I believe they came out with 4 types of Work equip. What makes them authentic are the three or two pce wheel. Here is a picture of mine witch are three pces.

 

props to your wheels mrfc3s.
those are my dream wheels some day.
got plenty of FC's with those wheels on my computer. =P

 

I got a set of equipps =)
17 x 8 and 17 x 9

 

oh snap! both +35 offset?

 

Are you sure? The spokes separate the rivets in the ones pictured at the top of this thread. Equips, including yours, have rivets all the way around.

 

I don't think they are Work Equip, I have them on my car as well. And mine are different.

 

Hey everyone,

Thanks to all who responded, turns out the wheels were legit. Embossed on the wheel hub, and on each rivet. I was told the 5zr wheels were designed after this model. The only down side, is i discovered a fatty crack in the wheel lip that's been ghetto sealed. Think its repairable? Other than that, I love these wheels.

On with the pics!

 

Deal breaker

 

mad tyte dorift +curb= cracked wheels

 

 

Take it to a wheel repair shop and they'll let you know if it's safe to drive on after being repaired. It might cost a lot, but if they can fix it, might as well take in all 4 wheels and have them refinished.
