Ok, I saw these wheels on Stan's xB this weekend at JGTC and they are AWESOME! Stan has the polar white xB and had his car on display at the Toyo Tires booth. I must apologize to Stan for leaving all of the drool on his ride.

I need offset numbers...Everyone is keeping them ultra-hush-hush and I don't know why...
They're just wheels guys, share with everyone so we can buy some wheels too...Ive been trying to pin down the perfect offset for a set of Work's I've been wanting to get, but to no avail. Someone please help a guy out!

Offsets are no secret, and I don't know who you are referring to as being secretive. Offsets depends on the width and the look you are striving for. I can tell you now that 18 inch Work wheels w/ 8 and 9 inch widths will cost you over $3k.

As Brad said there is no secret if you know what you are doing whic I hope you know before spending $3k you should be able to figure it out, and also each manufacture has its own measuring for offset some of them go on reverse lip offset and some are regular lip offset so as long as you know the basics of offset you should be able to find what you are looking for, JDMP

good point guys. you needa have an adequate knowledge of offsets to choose wheels. I had to ask a few co-workers and do a little research online to understand offsets. as for your set of works picklewagon, im guessin youre lookin into a 17 or 18 x 8, or 17 or 18 x 9.. perhaps maybe a staggered fitment. if youre lookin for lip, you definitely want that low offset. I know that work makes some really low offsets, but dont get too crazy, a 18x8 or x9 with a +10 offset would probably push your wheels out about 25-30mm. and with that much of your wheel sticking out, you'd probably need more than a camber kit/plate to fix your problem. also, look to be spending about $3-5k on work wheels, and be sure to take your time with the offsets, and ask as many people about fitment as you can. good luck.

I've got the prices taken care of, that's not an issue...And the wheels are no where near $3 grand...And no, I'm going with smaller wheels...More like 15x8. I don't want flashy VIP wheels, I'm looking at the Work Equip 03's. They have several models of that wheel though, a normal face and a deep dish version. I of course want the latter. There is a guy on this site that had something similar at what I'm going for. I'm just worried that something with a lower offset number is actually going to stick out of my fender giving me that early 90's lowrider look...Which I don't want.
And for all the people that helped, thanks...Rest assured I'm not an 18 yr. old kid fixing up his first car. More like a 26 yr old military guy who's bored with what he has now.
EDIT: The reason why I posted originally, is because I contacted the owner of the white xB that sells the JLine wheels, and he would not disclose the offset #'s, claiming they were "confidential". I thought that was a bit rediculous and selfish, and decided not to do business with them for that reason alone.
