Default question concerning work wheels.

im interested in purchasing the work emotion wheels but i am very confused about them. is the work emotion wheels different from the work emotion CR wheels? if so, what's the difference? there are some places that sell the work emotion CR wheels for $1200 for a set, and some that sell work emotion CR wheels for over $2000. what's the difference? also, what is the ideal size for those wheels? i have stock brakes and everything? thanks!

is 17x7 with +47 offset (front) and 17x8 with +47 offset (rear) a good setup or no? thanks alot!

I can't tell you anything about the wheel you are asking about but a 47mm offset is very low for the rear of the car.

i know the spoon wheels use really low offsets in the rear as well. how much would the wheels/tires stick out from the fender if i went with this setup? thanks jim!

This has probably been discussed before, but...

Other than bearing wear, what are the real negative consequences (besides rubbing) of running with a wheel around 15mm off stock offset. The wheels people generally use are wider as well so that negates some of the offset in the first place.

The only things I can think of are reduced effective spring rate (which on this car will make it oversteer less) and increase in track width (which would give the car more grip in the rear). Anything else I'm missing?
