Default Thinking of getting some Work wheels

I'm thinking of getting some work wheel in the next couple of weeks and was wondering should I go with 17's or 18's. I don't want a rough ride on my S. My car is currently sitting on Koni/comptech. Also I'm planning to get some sideskirts, so I really don't want to sit to low. The wheels I'm interested right now is the VS-XX. If you guys could give me some feedback on rim size, offset, and any other info I need to get some wheels! Thanks!

If you don't want a rough ride, I would opt for the 17" rims. The 18s will look better by far if you plan to go with sideskirts though. You should research sizes and tires you are going to get. Don't be lazy and expect everyone to do the work, so basically just look in the wheel and tire forum, everyone gets similar sizes and offsets just to get an idea.

Just to get you started Work recommends 17x7 +47 A disk (25mm = ~1" lip) and 17x8+57 O disk (37mm = ~1.5" lip).

Now if it was me, I would go 17x8 +47 A disk (1.5" lip) and 17x9 +57 O disk (2" lip). Should be quite flush, but more extreme than most people want.

Good luck.

VS-SS are nice, but I'm set on the VS-XX. Thanks though! What offset are you running, is it the same for the XX. Thanks!
