WORK Emotion Kiwami - 18x9.5

Hello all,

Got my rims fitted today. The fronts stick out quite a bit, more then i thought. The rears also stick out a bit as well. Coilovers will be coming soon and should fix it up.

not unexpected for a +30. +38 would have been better.

it's hot and i'm sure after coilovers it will be super hot!!

Lol, thats the plan. Apparently its illegal to fit 225 on a 9.5 inch rim. Tyre place refused to do it. I based my rim choice on this car btw.

They're an awesome looking wheel but with that negative camber I'm guessing tyre wear will be a major issue, right ?

I'm tempted into changing the whole enchilada too but I'm afraid of what it will do the cars already perfect/Porsche like setup.

Providing the toe is set correctly it should be too much of an issue if tyres are swap every 3-6months. Or just take more corners.

So how much toe-in for the Kiwamis + coilovers ? Factory looks like about 0. Still reckon they won't last long.

to get them to tuck you'll need a lot of camber, it chews through the inner edges quite quickly.

Gawd black rims on argento looks so good. Is that the flat or semi concave face?
Also, please repost in the Argento colour stick so we have a archive of your lovely car :happy0180:
