Is that like my mint collection of vintage Garbage Pail Kids trading cards?
17x8.5 et32 Work Emotion XD-9's. I'm not sure if anyone has these wheels on a tC yet, let alone this size. Crappy pics, I know. Let me know if these aren't welcome here since they seem like the "rota's" of this thread, lol.

GET 'EM!!!!
Take out the "rare" part of the title. One would venture to guess, if it's rare they're expensive.

Those Works didn't come out as aggressively as I had thought.
purpled_out_tC has them in 18's I believe, she just hasn't put them on yet. And I'm planning to order a set myself.

I did the math and even measured on my own car. Going from the stock wheels (17x7 +45) to the Works (17x8.5 +32) should've been equivalent to pushing the stock wheels out almost an inch and a half. Judging from his pics, that's not an inch and a half. Maybe I did something wrong... :\
heres how i do those calculations
stock = 17x7 et+45 so thats the standard
first is to find the edge of the wheel
7/2 = 3.5*25.4 = 88.9 mm so thats how big half of the wheel is. so now we subtract the positive offset (45) to get how far the wheel sticks out from the hub. which is 43.9mm
now looking at the works its the same process
8.5/2*25.4 = 107.95 - 32 = 75.95
difference is 75.95 - 43.9 = 32.05 mm = 1.24 inches outward. i believe to get nearly flush you would want a 9.5 et+32 ish or a 8.5 et+ 15
