You'll need a clean roll for sure and probably a slight pull in the fronts.

And you'll have to shave the rear bumper a bit, like this:

Because a good number of the members on here are cheapasses that don't realize the worth of something beautiful and rare when they see it (not talkinga bout people who legitimately do not have the money). Like the people who post comments everytime an OEM front lip comes up for sale, saying "it’s way overpriced" and "here’s a link to a cheaper one", which always ends up being the replica.

I LOVE old school Work wheels. :boink: If I wanted 17's and aggressive specs, I'd pick em up.

Exactly bro. I know legit wheels when I see them and I know my wheels aren't the best. But seriously, my XXR wheels were about $750 and those WORK wheels are $1000! That is an unbelieveable price. You are right about that, people don't know true quality stuff. Sure replicas may look a lot alike but it always feels better when you can afford it and say you have an authentic oem kit. Ya know?

^You can find your dream wheels for a good price if you're patient. I found my Work VS-XX for 800 bones. Granted I'm changing width/offsets and refinishing, but still. Even when that's done, I will have paid less than what they're worth.

Now if your dream wheels are HRE or something, then you're going to pay a lot regardless, lol.

I am so happy with my OEM lip kit, it took me 3 years and some coin to acquire but it was worth it. Probably my favorite thing about my car. :)

I approve of this message. Quality parts = better car.

Jordan, you don't have to buy parts new to be rocking legit stuff. I got my wheels for a good deal on a 240SX forum, and I got the ones that should be done soon for relatively inexpensive in super-gay spec. ;)
