They aren't that expensive. Brand new CR Kai for Impreza, 18 x 7.5 are like $1300 +/- a set.

So rather affordable if you are willing to spend money on some decent rims. If you want JDM and not too concerned about weight saving, they are very nice.

They are not to pricey, $269 a piece in 15".... Im not so concerned about JDM, more about having some nice, reasonble light high quaility rims that not very many other people have!

Ya, Work is special, and so is Wedsport SA90 rim. In the same price range as Work.

Nice and simple design.

The more I look at Buddy Club, Work, and Wedsports, the more I begin to think Spoon is overkill for me...

Spoo"m" is never overkill

But how hardcore are you?

Wedsports and Work rims that we're looking at, aren't light at all I think Work rims though are made tough, just like how BBS rims being forged but weighing as much as an elephant

I think I am hardcore? Well, not all-out-at-once type of hardcore but just slowly building my car 1 step at a time.

Rims won't come until next year anyway, suspension will be on my car before snow falls again (in December that is LOL).

Ya as far as I know, I don't think Work makes light street rims. But if your car has power, then a few extra pounds won't kill it I guess.

I found out the the work 15" weigh 6kg, thats not overly heavy, i was looking at some super light 5zigens rims before that weighed 4kg... But, they are $250 a wheel more. The price difference is not worth it for only 2kg
