My new wheels, Work Emotion CR Kai

After taking off snow tires, i ran stockies for a while. Ordered these in mid-february and they finally arrived last week.

Got them on the car and heres a few snaps. Wont have time for an actual photo session until exams are finished I am sort of flush but nowhere near hellaflush. Could be achieved but i just dont have the dedication or nerves to do so. Still have to fine tune the height. Front can go a little lower. Right rear needs to be raised a bit and need to drop left rear slightly

Looks good! I was gonna get these before I got my TEs but for some reason I just don't like the way they look with the Type-S front lip... looks really good with the base lip tho.

Wheel/Tire Specs?

Damn those are hawt

Not sure what I think about the blue lugs though. They are cool but they don't really flow with the rest of the car. Unless that was the point of them

i think a little more drop would really set the wheels off. Fender gaps destroy the wheel look. Close the fender gap and you are spot on.

Thank you for all the kind words folks. And i appreciate the honesty myron. They are actually relative cheap (compared to all the ballin' setups here on AZ).

Specs are 18x9.5 +38 (weak). I initially had 245/40/18 all around but the front was rubbing the part where the fender meets the bumper. I was scared of popping the fender if my wheels are turned and i hit a bump. The roads around here arnt that great. So i swapped the fronts to 225/40/18.

Maybe its the angle of the pics but there really isnt much gap. Tires are tucking front and back. Im able to put my palm between the front tires and fenders. In the rear, i have trouble running my finger between the tires/fenders.

I must say... i dont know. No colour problems when looking at it in person but it shows up in so many pictures, it makes me have second doubts

Great looking wheels. Blue lug nuts look a little out of place, but other than that, they match really well.

looking good bro! i like the works. and the fitment looks perfect.

your color is unique for a modded TL. you must like the stock look of your headlights and tails, no mods to them. i was gonna say cleared/smoked out tails would look sick.

Once again, thanks for all the kind words. But i guess the general consensus is that i need new nuts, but i like the blue

Yup. No problems whatsoever and I've been running them for 2 yrs now. Great budget high performance tires.

Nah, if anything, i'll do the lights like jptl04 mentioned. No money for TL-S tails nor do i want to be ricy and put a tint film on it. Also havnt gathered up the bravery to open up my headlights as I've seen first hand what a non-properly sealed light looks like.
