Wheels should fit, but they don't?

Your current spec is co servatice so you have some room

So the shop took a look in the current work catalog and appearantly the T(X) is not available anymore for S1's.

I guess i'm just screwed now..

Call up Work yourself and see if there is a solution that you can present to the shop. Don’t rely on the shop telling you that Work is saying it can’t be fixed.

Regardless of what was available, shouldn’t their measurements have caught this prior to purchase? That’s where I keep ending up as I follow the source of the problem.

I agree. **** your shop. Contact your local Work wheels distributor and ask yourself

Additionally if “TX disc” is not available, get the T-disc and have it milled for the additional clearance, since that is how Work makes TX themselves

I would not rely on a shop that is not specifically familiar with the Z platform

T-disc is still listed on Work Wheels USA:

I am skeptical that TX can be discontinued when the base for it is still around

Last option, you can sell the front pair and have someone build you a new front set. A place like Sensei6 can do it, they have parts to make whatever wheel you want

I have emailed Work jpn about this yesterday and wether they can still provide a TX disc.

Also, they are the local work wheel distributors. That's why it gave me so much confidence that whatever they would suggest, it would fit.

Nearly a week has passed now and still no response from Work.
Is it normal for them to take this long to reply?

OptionZero · 03-23-2022, 12:22 PM

Don't forget to ask for a T-disc if they can't do a TX disc for some reason.

OptionZero · 03-23-2022, 02:42 PM

Further clarification:
It appears "TX disc" might be an internal Work Wheels thing to tell their factory the customer has Akebonos and to add the additional machine to a "T disc". That may explain why it doesn't show up in catalogs. It's just a note to add to the order

If you want the VSXXs, thats up to you. Those sizes are fine, but it's a different design so you have to decide.

Not sure if the boxes OZ is referring to are labeled as "TX" disk. I'm not even sure whether my fronts are T-disk or TX-disk. This is what the box labels look like. They clear my Akebonos by a few millimeters.

He's on the same coilovers I'm about to get next month.
shouldn't it technically work for me too then? Or am I missing something completely.

As mentioned above, base brake calipers and Akebono calipers are not comparable.

OptionZero · 03-23-2022, 04:40 PM

yeah, however Work wants to label the box, as long as they know your order is going to be for a Z34 with akebono and to manufacture accordingly, thats what matters

OptionZero · 03-28-2022, 11:55 AM

If you dont get a response u can try a US based retailer to see if they can contact Work USA and get thru that way

eighty8 Motorsport is run by a former member here and sells Works and other wheels

Curlyfred_Z · 04-12-2022, 09:05 AM

Finally heard back from Work.
T discs would just clear the BBK...
Now do i get new fronts or swap out the wheels for the vsxx's I was offerend..

Hard desicions..

k67p67 · 04-12-2022, 03:52 PM

Your choice if you want to skip the wait and just go with the VS-XX. If you do order new front S1 3p, make sure the shop orders T-disk. Not sure if you have tires already. Comparable sizes for T-disk are 19x9.5 +17 or 19x10.0 +24.
