Default Which JDM wheel is this?

Saw this on a Japanese bB page linked to in the stickied Fitment thread, and think it looks great:





Goocars Hemi by Work Wheels?

Anything else available with this look and a reasonable offset for an xB? I'm leaning towards the low & wide look.

American Racing almost has a rim exactly like that in 4 lug. I believe the lowest offset for AR is 40 though. You could get some spacers and shims though and get the right look.

I've seen the American Racing wheel--the Aero--and I do like the looks, too bad about the offset. As I read once, "Small and not wide is a negative ghostrider." LOL

Even with 10mm shims front and back, I don't think the fitment would be too great. You'd probably have to do 5mm front and 10mm back to get the right proportions between the two, and they'd still be a ways from being flush.

Not sure how excited I am about the prospect of spacers all around, either, even if they are the OTG versions.

The sad thing is that if they are the Goocars Hemi by Work, that means they're something like ~$700 each, from the research I've done.

They look like Work Goocars 1-PIECE, you can tell because there is no lip...and are probably around $400/wheel for 17s....

The Work Goocars HEMI are 2-PIECE...and probably about $500/wheel for 17s. Even though they're "USDM style", I can't find any USDM wheels like these in 4x100. I would definely rock these!

These are Work Goocars HEMI:
