Let Us Guide You to the Best Sizes For Your Wheels & Tires!

▶Inch-Up Sizing is the New Trend.

When changing a wheel there is the “Plus Sizing” or “Inch-Up Sizing” technique that can be used to keeping natural wheel sizes without causing damage to the wheel or vehicle. With Work wheels you can keep your vehicles natural wheel size while also keeping your wheels in style. For example, the natural wheel size is 19”, you can choose any stylish 20” or 21” wheels.

▶Guidelines for Going Out of Natural Tire Size.

Inch-Up sizing is possible to do but must be proceeded with caution in regards to outside diameter of the tire when choosing to do this method. This in part is that the natural wheel and tire sizes were assembled together to fit the specifications of your vehicle. Going out of natural tire size can cause potential risk of speedometer and odometer functions, as well as severe damage to vehicle maneuverability.

▶Significance of Consistent Thin Tire Checks.

The tires on your vehicle will inevitably flatten when Inch-Up Sizing. Thus, when the tires flatten the shape of tires changes as well. This overall increases the maneuverability and gives your vehicle a more sporty feel. However, extreme inch-up sizing to wheels can cause extreme tire flattening. Please be aware that in some cases there may not be wheels that match tires with over inch-up sizing.

Construction

Barrel and disc constructed as a unit. Usually referred to as European monoblock construction.

Advantages

The disc and barrel is molded together creating a 1-piece wheel unit. Thus, it is able to keep long-lasting rigidity. The 1-piece wheel is also simple and easy to manufacture, making it a cost efficient product for both manufacturers and consumers.

Construction

Barrel and disc are molded and constructed separately. The new method of jointing parts of the 2-piece wheel together is through welding.

Advantages

The offset can be specially altered millimeter by millimeter to your ideal position of the disc face.

Construction

A 3 layered unit, consisting of the disc centering the outer barrel and inner barrel held together with pierce bolts.

Advantages

Outer barrel, inner barrel, and disc face is constructed with different materials and manufacturing processes, giving it flexibility and excellence in its functions and designs.

The normal rim is a basic wheel construction. The inner side has a large amount of space, making it advantageous for vehicles equipped with a larger caliper. We recommend this type for sports cars. Tires are mounted from the outer side.

The step rim is a reverse type rim featuring a distinctive step design on the outer lip. This is the structure that the normal rim feature is added to the full-reverse rim.
We recommend this type of structure for dressing up various vehicles including sedans and minivans.
The step rim is also called semi-reverse rim. Tires are mounted from the inner side.

The full-reverse rim has the completely opposite structure to the normal rim. This wheel allows mounting a large center disk thanks to its flat outer lip. We recommend this type of structure for dressing up various vehicles including sedans and minivans. Tires are mounted from the inner side.

▶What is Rim Width?

The rim width in essence is a size indicator for the depth of the wheel. The tire width must match both sides of the rim width when the wheel is mounted onto the tire. With Work Wheels you can choose a rim width as deep as 0.5”.

▶What is offset?

The inset is the distance between the “center line of the rim” and the “wheel mounting surface” (unit: mm). Positive (+) inset means the wheel mounting surface is further outward from the centerline of the rim. The wheel will be further inside the vehicle's fender.
Negative (-) inset (=outset) means the wheel mounting surface is further inward from the center line of the rim. The wheel will be further toward the fender.

【R disk】Big Calliper Compatible

The back of the R-Disk ensures plenty of space to prevent any interferences with the calliper. This disk is best for sports and race car drivers who want to install a large brake system.

【A disk】Standard Compatible

The A-Disk is a standard disk type compatible with general brake suspensions. This disk is compatible with a wide range of vehicles, and is best for those who are new to customizing wheels or are looking to make minor design changes to their wheels.

【O disk】Rim Thickness Compatible

The O-Disk in comparison to the A-Disk has the same offset values, however, differs in its thickness of the outer rim. This wheel design is perfect for drivers who prefer the deep dish look.

There is a total of 8 disk types from T to W, listed in order of the highest to lowest mounting surface points. Although the standard Work Wheels disk types are R,A, and O depending on the product the disk type will vary. Also, please be aware that depending on the wheel size and disk type you chose for your vehicle, there may be a possibility the wheel may interfere with the calliper even in the case your vehicle is not equipped with a big calliper. In order to prevent possible interferences and damages, please refer to the “Limit Disk” section of the “Work Matching Guide Catalog” in the last chapter of the catalog. Aside from checking if the disk type is listed on the “Limit Disk” chart, if the disk is a thin type then there is a possibility that the wheel will not interfere with the calliper.

Choose from a wide variety of disc face colors of chrome-plated to diamond cut rim polished finishes and more. Each design has its own color line up, so dress up your wheels the way you want from the vast color variations listed at the bottom of the specs chart of each product. Disc colors are not the only items you choose, you can also choose the rim color of each design.

WORK FLOWFORMING TECHNOLOGY

The FlowForming manufacturing method is used on the inner barrel of the WORK EMOTION CR kiwami. After the barrel is casted, the mold is stretched out while an immense amount of pressure is applied to it creating a new, stronger, and elongated barrel mold. This manufacturing method is called the Flowforming method. Using this manufacturing method makes the macrostructure of the forged aluminum more defined. Furthermore allowing the forged metal flow rim more thick and light in weight. This in return heightens the need for the "pulling strength" and "sticking strength" of the inner rim. At the same time the performance of the outer rim’ s durability and traditionally forged wheel functions are vastly increased.

We Take Pride in Our Chrome Coating Quality!

The 3D coating brings out a rich, high-class on the disc face.

The Super Chrome 3D Coating is a high quality color we take pride in. The pre-painting process of 3D Super Chrome coating is not only on the traditional disc face but also on the spokes and pierce bolt joints areas, giving it a mirror-like brushed finish. The chrome coating also makes the wheel shine. The 3D coating is performed by our skilled craftsmen that tend to each and every detail by hand. You can see the excellent shine of our skilled craftsmen for yourself.

Advanced Technology!

“Work Solid Rim”

Work Solid Rim is an answer to both a safer and more comfortable car life and the abundance of styles in a new era. Using Work's original technology, we have further improved the strength and rigidity of the flange area and formed an ETREO standards hump, which is essential for TÜV standard certification, to dramatically increase safety. Without cutting, one-piece molding with a hump has brought both productivity and reliability to a higher level. Derived from that, Dag lip rim was born and features a step shape on its rim end for a sharp look. Work is the only company in the world that masters this technology to develop high quality rims.
* TÜV standard: German technical inspection association. An organization that investigates and certifies safety standards. * ETRTO standard: European tire standard. * Hump: a shape to prevent a tire bead from slipping off the rim when air pressure inside a tire lowers in case of trouble. Patent No. 3933143

We have multi-colored disc variations!

Making Your Styling Ideas a Reality.

Nowadays, there are wheels that have functions and effects for certain types of vehicles in its respective categories such as minivans, compact cars and imports. There is a significant difference in how to dress-up each category. We provide an abundance of colorful disc face lineups to satisfy all drivers with different tastes.

Caution is Advised For Protruding Disks For Minivans.

Choosing and matching a disc from our vast lineup depends on the type of style the driver is aiming for. However, there are cases where the driver matches an offset to coordinate with a style with the rim protruding from the disc and fender. Especially nowadays, this look has been seen on numerous minivans. Be sure to thoroughly check the specs chart of each wheel when selecting, along with consulting with one of our experts before purchasing your wheels.
