Default Wheels are hard Work.....

Hi All
Just a few pictures of my 2005 STI with new 18 x 8.5" Work Emotion CR Kai. Tyres are Dunlop Sport Maxx 235/40/18 95Y. I’m thrilled with the look, just what I wanted

I would like to thank Steve at www.unit-8.co.uk for outstanding service in supplying the wheels and some DS2500 pads along with Rays Engineering nuts and valves. Tyres came from www.elitedirect.com who were also excellent to deal with.

They show an 8 x 17" and a 7.5 x 18" in 5 x 100. Might be worth speaking to Steve at unit 8, maybe there are other options?

Thanks! I really love the look. Previously I had OZ Superleggera which are fine wheels, but I somehow never felt they suited the car. The Works have just the right Japanese street racer look, and they are fabulous quality wheels

I replaced 8 x 18 OZ Superleggera and I’d say the Work’s are slightly heavier, but I don’t have an actual weight. Can pull one and weight it with tyre if you want?

Great Mark, hope you are as pleased as I am

Had a minor up **** from Work, not Steve’s fault, without that I think they would have been about 2 weeks.

Don’t go to the trouble of taking one off, you’ve just put them on I'm just curious how they compare to my Pff-7's which come in at about 17.5kg inc tyre.
