The dilema with those (I love them as well) is that Work's contract for 5x130 street wheels is owned by Arktech (for those of you who dont recognize the name it's the team that ran a 968 in JGTC). Arktech is either going out of business or just doesnt like doing business other than racing as I've tried to get in touch with them as well as several people I know with contacts in Japan. Work will only sell those in Porsche fitment to race teams, but Arktech used to list them for sale for street cars. So I'm SOL getting them. Which is fine by me now as they dont make them in 18x12.

Still got 'em. Not sure what I'm doing with them either, but they could be up for sale too...

So are they procurable through a back door, and what sizes do they come in? I'd be interested in 18x12's too, but that's out so maybe if they do 11's?

I believe the max available is a 10 or 10.5 but I dont know as I cannot make contact. Maybe you'd have better luck, but I had some guys who do the JDM imports into Canada try and could not get in touch. If you make contact, let me know!

Love the wire spokes David. Always makes me laugh. Also the last of your pictures here are the polished chrome Simmons just like my mechanic (JET951)has on his Black '86. Looks great!

Slightly hard to tell with reflections, but are the centers of these wheels sitting kind of prouder than most? Looks sort of strange in one photo?
