I've been fighting myself the past couple days on whether I want to sell my Works and go back down to a 19" wheel. What's everyone think?

Meulen · 11-14-2013, 08:15 AM

IMO 19 or 20 on the Z looks very similar depending on how you drop the car. 19's with the car super low is the perfect look. But the 20 wheels look just as nice with a little more ride height. So really just depends if
1. you can functionally go low enough to make 19's work
2. you like the look of the car that low to make the 19's tuck nicely into the fenders

you know.... i always thought your works WERE 19's.... i say keep em dude... they look awesome and plus.... once you slam your car itll look even more tucked

I'm not to concerned with function. I'm about to pull the trigger on coils and a cup kit. I'll definitely be slamming my car, but will have the luxury of raising it.

In case you hadn't seen the sale

Wiggins3377 · 11-15-2013, 12:52 PM

I'll be pulling my headlights, side markers and door handles this weekend to have them painted. I'm 100% sold on painting my headlights (including both the surrounding and the shrouds) Quartz to match the body, but I’m not sold on the side markers or handles. I’m torn between body color and satin black to match my wheels… I’m thinking I’ll plastidip them black to get a better idea and make a decision from there. I’ll post pics once I do.

Luciano13 · 11-17-2013, 02:44 PM

IMO if your doing the headlights, even if your colour matching 40th quarts, I would do the door handles to match your rims satin black. everything colour matched may not pop as much as some satin black offsets.

Wiggins3377 · 11-17-2013, 09:23 PM

I got the headlights separated today. I tried using a heat gun first and that wasn't going well. So I switched to the oven method and followed Dallaz's how to. It was much easier! Still having a lot of trouble getting the door handles off.

Meulen · 11-17-2013, 09:58 PM

Did you use the heat gun and box method?

I just stripped mine today and got them ready to separate.

OMGWTFBBQ · 11-17-2013, 10:44 PM

Looks great so far! I'd paint the side markers and door handles the same color as the wheels, but then again that's what I did so my answer might be a little biased.

As far as the headlights, you might want to do satin black on the housing and 40th quartz on the shrouds to match the color of the car. Let me know if you want pictures to see how that'll look since the color of my car is close to the 40th anniversary color, but not quite.

Started with the heat gun and it's wasn't going well. Switched to the oven method and it was smooth sailing. Just follow Dallaz's videos and add time in 2 minute intervals if needed.
