why not do your own search? and do some research?

the price on those wheels+tires vary... where are you buying it from? what sizes are you going with? tires vary too.. what size tires do you need? which tires are you buying? yada yada yada.... you can't expect someone to be like yeah that'll cost you xx amount of money... cause no one knows except for the person thats selling it to you...

secondly... it's the looks that people like.. they are 3 piece wheels.. and 3 piece wheels = heavy

blue03 I wouldn't be asking those questions if I knew the answer. Also there are always problems with the search function. I just wanted some basic info like the other responses that were posted. And yes, I can expect someone to give me a price because if they've bought the same wheels they paid xx amount of money for them, didn't they?

Hey there. I just ordered Work S1's in a two piece not a three piece. I know you can find them in an 18" for around $2800 or so. Mine were about 700 more than that because I ordered custom offsets and widths that Work does not make. Tires all depend on what you are going to go with. I'm going with Yokohama A048's. Not cheap, but neither are the wheels.

As far as the weight goes...the S1 two piece is one of the lightest two piece wheels available. You are looking between 18 and 20 pounds. The three piece wheel is heavier. The lightest of light wheels will only be found in a one piece forged wheel. I was ok with trading a little weight for a little bling.

i'm not talking about s2ki.com search... i'm talking about a search in gerneral... call up a place that carries work wheels and you'll find out how much it'll cost you.....

and if you read my post entirely and correctly... you would see that i gave you answers.... i just didn't give you a price because it varies to much for the reasons that i gave you in the first post....

Ouch you got super raped in pricing.. I dont know what offsets you need besides the one Work already makes. They make offsets to fit 18x10.5 in the 2pc I believe on our cars. Where did you buy it from? I know someone who is having a GB for 2450 any offset you need basically.

Work does not produce the offsets and widths I ordered. You can buy what's on the shelf if you're happy with that. Also, you can get a 10.5 to fit with a three piece wheel but not the two piece. The only authorized Work distributors in the USA is Bulletproof Automotive and AKH. These are the only guys that have access to the real goods!

Im sorry but you can get 18x10's and that is sufficient enough to put 285s on the rear. What offsets did you get? I am curious on what special widths and offset did you get.

BTW there are many work dealers in the US

PS: According to the Work Site... 18x10 can go up to +79 in the rear and 18x8.5 can go up to +59... I dont see what other offsets you need.
