Good Deal, or No? Work Wheels
I have a friend from work that is willing to sell me his Work Emotion CR Kai's. They are gunmetal, and hes asking $1000 with tires. Two of the tires are new, two are old. Is it worth it...or should i try to talk him down a little?
They also don't have any scratches or anything, they're well taken care of. Oh and they are 17's, which is a plus for me I want to keep it lightweight.

$1000 for 17" used Work Emotion CR Kai is an okay price. especially with 2 worn tires. are these taken off a Subaru? I dont think its worth it unless the offset is good, or he can lower the price since you'll have to buy spacers.

my buddy got those same rims through a hookup, (19's though) for 4k. I'd say that for 17's it would probably normally cost 1800 -2k brank new with tires so i'd say you're getting a good deal! do it and get new tires. Just make sure that the lugnut configuration is correct for the tC

i think RPF1s look better than Emotions, although I think Work makes nicer high-end wheels. Enkei makes some really nice 3 piece wheels too.
see if this guy still has his 5x100 18x8 et35 RPF1s for sale. $1000 obo with tires. he's in Long Beach.

Already purchased, they should be shipping out tonight or tomorrow. They were $949 shipped. Now I just dont know if I want to wait to install them untill i get tires (which could be months) or install them with the stock tires, stretched, and get the milage out of them?
