So i thought i would check out how much some Work Emotion CR Kai would be in 18x7.5 +35...the shop quoted me $360 per wheel. Is that a bad price for Work's?

also, the dude at the shop kinda made me mad. He was like, you should look at some Rota's or something Work's are kinda expensive...< not quoted word for word, but the way it came out when he said it was I was broke or something and Emotion's dont belong on a tC...but he could reccoment other wheels...Cheap wheels...LoL To bad the sucker doesnt know i coulda bought Wheels and tires right then and there if i wanted.

But anyways, $ Price $ or ? Should i keep shopping?

 

$360 per wheel is regular price.
Try the following:

http://store.visionautosport.com/emotioncrkai.html <- Nat the owner is always down to haggle. I bought my Gram Lights from him for a good price.

What shop did you go to? He probably recommend the Rota's because they look just like the Works.

 

yea, $360 is normal pricing
but they aren't cheap

 

Yea, i wasnt expecting them to be cheap, but the way the dude came off was like i looked broke or didnt have money. He was just being a *****.

 

hah if i had the money i woulda had the stack "drop" outta my pocket and on to the floor real quick then pick it up and be like, yea Rota are more in my price range

 

Thanx for the Links...good stuff. It was GT MotorSports in Ontario CA. They mostly specialize in WRX/STi, Evolution's, 350Z's and G35's. That is the majority of their business anyways.

 

For Real huh, Whoops lemme pick up that 2g's + that I just dropped. As the salesman is like What was that you wanted again ???

But besides the wheels, i have been thinking about waiting untill next month and getting the TRD SuperCharger. but thats for the FI Thread

 

get wheels first man.

 

Yea, im pretty sure wheels are next on my list of things to do.

Also, eventually i want to maybe get into a little Auto-x/drag racing, do you think i should keep with the 17x7 size of the stock wheels to keep the weight down?

 

lol imo screw that, 17s look small on the tC id go with 18s. just my 2 cents

 

dont let it bother you, Think of it this way, He works at a Auto Store

i had the same problem, when i went to have my strut bar put in. i snapped back to the kid " how much do u make here" He said nothing, i made my point.

 

when i bought mine i got them for 292 each! from carisma

 

Do you have a link to that, or do they even have a link?

 

ill look for it and send it pm.... i had bought 18x7.5

 

http://www.carismaautotec.com/ theere ya go...

 

i wouldnt doubt if the guy remembers me i gave him a hard time not really.... but close....

 

Thanks for the link So you got them in 18x7.5, what offset did you get them in?

 

that was for my last car mazda speed protege .... pics http://www.msprotege.com/forum/attac...chmentid=34260

 

you should get them wider with a low offset.... like 18x8.5 witha 38mm or so..

 

Oh ok...i thought you were saying you had those on your tC... NiiiCE MSP though. From what everbody has been telling me they say go with a +35 offset, they say thats sorta the should have offset for the tC. So im gunna go with 18x7.5 5-100 +35 offset. They seem to have the best Prices so im gunna give them a call tomorrow morning and see what they say about the Offset, because i know its a special order offset.
