Wheel Hype: Work Gnosis HS201

Posted on 02.15.11 | Andrew Beckford No Comments

This just in: Work Wheels just dropped a few new designs in their “Gnosis” line.  I really hate that name but the wheels are fresh.  The newest design dubbed the “HS201” is a two-piece 12 spoke star design that is available in some pretty aggressive offsets.  You also have the choice of a stepped lip for added buffness.  Expect to see these on a lot of bimmers and Lexus IS’s in the near future.  Although I’m sure this look can work on a few other makes and models as well so make it do what it do!

Wheel Hype: Work Meister M1R

Posted on 01.25.11 | Andrew Beckford No Comments

A few days ago I gave you a heads up on a new variation of the Work Meister S1 dubbed the S1R.  This time I’m showing you a brand new design for 2011 the Work Meister M1R.  The M1R is the Meister line’s first mesh style wheel and it seems right at home next to its older S1 brother.  As you may have guessed the M1R is a two-piece wheel and it comes in four color options: Silver, Matte Black, Platnium Gold, and Matte Bronze.  So far the M1R is only available in a 18 inch diameter but you can customize offsets within 1mm so you can still go for the “hella flush” look should you desire.

Brombacher Special Edition By Work Wheels

Posted on 06.22.10 | Andrew Beckford No Comments

Work Wheels decided to do a limited run of their Brombacher style in a 19 inch step lip variation!  You can get them in a flat black center or “Feinheit Silver II”.  I’m not sure what a “Feinheit” is but the color is fresh!  The production on these are super limited so they might all already be spoken for but I would give Work Wheels USA a call just in case!

Work Emotion 11R-FT

Posted on 05.11.10 | Andrew Beckford No Comments

Work Wheels just dropped a new variation of the Emotion 11R that is constructed using their flowforming technology.  Dubbed the Work Emotion 11R-FT this wheel has a lighter barrel while the wheel face is used with low-gravity casting which makes the spokes denser and stronger.  Light and strong are always good!

Press Release:

Motorsports enthusiasts asked, and WORK Wheels has answered!

Just added to the Emotion series, WORK has released a NEW version of WORK Emotion 11R, the WORK EMOTION 11R-FT. This new wheel utlizes WORK Flowforming Technology, also known as spun forming here in the U.S.

The key benefit for flow forming is able to reduce the barrel thickness, thus reducing the weight of the wheel without compromising the strength of the rim barrel. The 11R-FT is a good choice for motorsports racing use or at area where there are smoother roads.

Unlike our competitors’ flow forming wheels, WORK flow forming wheels start with low-pressure cast construction, whereas some of our competitors use lower quality gravity casting. Low-pressure cast construction has a denser material property over gravity cast wheels, thus allowing a greater strength advantage over gravity cast with flow-forming barrel.

Application available for both front wheel, rear wheel and all wheel drive vehicles. Depending on size and offset, the Emotion 11R-FT is available with semi-concave or deep concave face. Some specs are BBK friendly.

Sizing is available in 18″ applications from 8.0″ through 9.5″ widths, for both Japanese (5×100 / 5×114.3) and European bolt patterns (5×120). Colors available are Black Rim Cut (BLKRC) Finish & GT Silver (GTS) Finish.

Work Vs MS

Posted on 03.31.10 | Andrew Beckford No Comments

What you see above is another masterpiece in the Work Wheels Vs Concept line.  This design is called the Vs MS and to me is a study on combining luxury and performance in one form.  For a long time its been comon to see a sport type mesh wheel on a luxury car but the Vs MS is something of a mesh wheel made for high end cars and they make it work pretty well.  Expect to see these on a lot of Lexus GS sedans!

WORK Wheels VS-RS

Posted on 02.18.10 | Andrew Beckford No Comments

Yesterday I talked about WORK Wheels launching their new VS Concept line and here is the first follow up.  The VS-RS is just one of the five new VS offerings and one of my favorites.  The split five spoke design on it just makes it look so tough!

Work Wheels VS-XS

Posted on 01.04.10 | Andrew Beckford No Comments

Happy New Year! I hope you all came out of your new years celebrations unscathed and without pending children (unless that’s what you were going for).  Now is as good a time as any to get the ball rolling.  So to kick off the new year I thought I’d tip you off on some new shoes from Work Wheels.  The new Work VS-XS is a continuation in the VS line that features a 10 spoke design that is looking absolutely money to me right now.  The VS-XXs are slick but I think these would look a lot better on a Lexus GS.  Props to Work Wheels USA for kicking off 2010 right.
