I am thinking of picking these up after I pick up my 5 series. Still looking but I have a few narrowed down. Car will be A/W as a first choice and Space Gray as the second choice.

I am thinking of Brushed or Powder Coating them Graphite Gray if I end up with A/W in 20's. What is the widest anyone has ran on the rears? 285? or 305?

I have been a fan of Work Wheels for a while had them on several previous cars. I have them on my 997 Turbo. They are heavier than some but fit and finished is second to none.



Also the VS XX - just wished they had them in brushed. In the Porsche Line they are called the Brombachers.




I also like the Enkruez H8R wheels in brushed. Thanks MacFly for sending me the link to the shots of your car! Very nice.

Please no Japanese wheels on German cars comments I have heard it before with the Porsche guys. It's not like HRE, Iforged, Enkreuz are German

I look foward to posting more in this place. Some of you guys are great modders and then offering the service is really cool. I know I like the M5 gauges, Led conversions, etc. I better lock up the wallet

I really like the first one!
With a black or some other dark color center it would be sick!

Yeah they do. I was going to say that but I couldn't spell it correctly. Didn't they go out of business? It's definately on the top 5 list.

Who has these on their cars? in 20's? I will search

Nice! Thank you for the post!

I have a very good hookup on Work Wheels. I will give the sponsors on this board a chance at the wheels before I order them. Got to support the sponsors

I like the Work Gnosis wheel also. Definitely do it with graphite centers on the A/W car, not black centers.

I agree. Never been one for black centers no matter what. They wanted me to do that with my Turbo and it felt like it was played out before it was ever popular to me. I like it on people's cars not my own. No offense to those with Black Centers It's just not my style.

Here are the Work Brombachers in silver on the Turbo. I really like mesh but I want to mix it up some I think this time. I have ran mesh style for a long time on everything so the Gnosis caught my eye for something different. I am a Work Wheels fan.
