I mentioned in a recent thread that my wheels were with a company to be refurbished. Per title, the wheels are made by 'Work' who I understand are a Japanese manufacturer.

 

They are 18" aluminium split rims, the centre caps carry the initials, 'VS'

 

I went to collect them the other day and was very pleased with the job the guys had done, centres powder coated in anthracite with 'chrome' powder coated rims.

 

I got talking with the owner who appeared very knowledgeable and he stated that this model was initially sold by the company as a three piece split rim but subsequently sold, after factory welding, as a two piece.

 

He then said that, to either replace or buy new, would cost in the region of £3000, yes £3k!

 

Can this really be the case? My camera needs charged but I'll put up some pics soon.

 

Regards

 

Ronnie

Very similar to yours Rolandas

Work wheels are very expensive but they are far better quality than most tosh on the market. Looking forward to the pics Ronnie! :thumbup1:
