Right, here's a pic:



I think they're 'Work' alloys.. anybody know for sure? Any links to manufacturers site or any other info (are they good? strong? light? hard-wearing?)?

thanks in advance

They look similar to Work Emotion, they are an excellent quality wheel.

Possibly replica Work E's?

hmm.. maybe, but they don't look like they have the 'curve' out from the hub that the Emotions have.. but that maybe due to different size??

keep 'em coming if you've got any more..

thanks

Nah, definitely not the works - the spokes are too flat and too far apart. Very nice wheel though!

[tuttle]

Unless it's an obsolete model. Check the catalogue for VS-TX model, nearest-but no cigar.

Are they a ROTA rip-off?

[tuttle]

I'm sure I have seen wheels like this somewhere before, were on the car when imported?

I must admit, I don't like the style - they are reminicent of TSW Venoms to me.

They are Weds Sport TC005

Nasty wheels.

[Pierscoe1]

shadowninja.. any actual reason behind that statement, or is it a purely subjective comment?

I like them

Could they be Ultralite wheels??

Apex Performance have these beauties and they look similar-ish

Full details here

edit to say: They dont really look that similar, except the colour. And they have spokes

Those Apex ones are much nicer!

I think the official site is www.weds.co.jp (Doesn't seem to work at the mo tho)

Only info i can find on weight is 18x9"=18.5lbs 17x9"=17.8lbs which is light for big wheels.
Id imagine they would be pretty light, they look like 16x7" on that MX5, so id guess they weigh probably less than 14lbs.
