15'x7.5'

13lbs/wheel

set of four for about $1500!!!

Do you think it's worth it? It's not even forged wheels. I think it's way too expensive....

Most definitely not worth it! :roll:
Oh well, that's only because I already have my set on the way. :wink:

You guys have to remember that some people don't mind spending more money to get a product that's not as "mainstream" or popular as others. As for me, I don't mind saving a little longer to get something that you can't just pick up at your local retailer. In the end it's worth it spending a little bit more to be a little bit different... just my two cents.

Long time no see Toro!

If someone gave me $1500 and told me to go buy wheels with it, those would be on the short list.

IMO i would jock those wheels so fast on my car. I love the 4 spoke look rather then the 5 or more that you see everywhere. Ya they're expensive but thats JDM stuff for you. i mean comeon just look at that lip! :shock: (BTY If anyone knows a good price on these wheels or the Equip 02 series pm me and let me know!)

I love those rims. They were definitely one of a few I was considering. If you got the $ then definitely roll on those.

Thanks Sith... I've been little busy with work...

Gees... I thought people would be like protesting... It being a small "casted" wheel and all...

I understand the whole JDM business... but $1500????

I gotta pay the rent!!! Feed the dogs!!!

I can't even remember the last video game I bought... Sniff...

I dunno... I really really like this wheel... But, that's like $370~$375 per a wheel. I could get really light forged wheels with that price...

Sigh.... I wish I had a rich daddy....

I love em'.
If you want to cheap out, you can always go Axis Mag-Lite. Good, clean 4 spoke.

They are not readily available so I guess you gotta pay to play.

I personally would rock those anyday but yeah it's going to be hard to get it low to make it look good like the red one.

forgot to add one thing.

that pic with red Bb (God, I love that color) with 15" Work Equip wheels is the one I am talking about...

But, I found out that image itself is a photoshoped image. But, I don't think it's that hard to pull off that look.

I don't wan to go with low profile tires though...

I dunno... I think I have to seriously think about if I want to go with it or not... It's way too expensive if you ask me...

another issue is... I don't know how many bigger brakes I can fit in 15" wheels, if I want to upgrade my brakes in the future...

Am I the only one who thinks 1500 for wheels isn't extraordinarily expensive???

Wheels are probably THE most important visual modifications one can make to their cars.

Not about having a rich daddy fellas--it's about not wasting money on small insignificant things...QUALITY over QUANTITY...that is what it is supposed to be about.

Those wheels are great--but I don't think anyone out there can pull the right stance off with these wheels...honestly, or at least I haven't seen a shining example of anyone being close to doing so. Prove me wrong...I love looking at nice cars. 8)

nicely said jdmxb... i also think $1500 isnt expensive for those rims. they're WORK
a respected company in japan for rims. i'd pay $1500 for those rims anyday. considering i'ma be paying $1600 for a set of new Work rims pretty soon..

good luck with finding rims you like.. i personally think its hard to find rims you like.. they're soo many companys out there.. :)

I'm with you there, I have my set of Equip 01's on the way. I didn't pay that much, but it's still worth it none the less. Like you said, wheels make or break the look of every car.

Works Equip 01's have been around longer than most of you peeps here :wink:
the fitment of the Scion is exactly the same as Miatas, you might want to search auctions.yahoo.co.jp for some used sets from say.. the early 90s :) and save urself a bundle. love the rims. make u "think" u can drift w/ the hachis...
