Looks like they're only available in 17x7.5 (also 16" and 15" though)

Partsman, it is good to hear from you too







needs .25" more lowering to meet my taste, that is when custom 3 piece WORK rims are accomplished.

Looks good. 1/4" lower looks about right. Got a picture of the Work rims?
Taken your car to the track or autocross?

Very nice, man. You got a pretty sweet stance going on there. What size tire are you running?

Minihune, i am working on gtting a real go-kart together and improve my skills on track. GTI is for the street. here is the WORK rims i want, prolly March:

I know for sure it needs 1/4" more, however at that time fender mods gotta go into play. Saving that for the next phrase.

Jeff, you passed just because you are MINITOR

Partsman, 225/40/18. WORKs will sport 235/30/19s

Mario, great stance as always.

Looks like lot of things have changed, since i left. In a good way. Keep coming guys
