Work Gnosis HS203
 

Finally decided on the wheels I want.


I will be staying stock height. I have a 2011 370z touring w/sport package.

It is GM... What finish would look best? Brushed? or Matt Silver? The pic with two wheels is matt silver and the other is Brushed.



How do these sizes and offsets look?

Front - 19 X 9.5 +35

Rear - 19 X 11 +22

Tires - 245/40 and 285/35

Would it be better to go with a rear 10.5 +15?

I want the full reverse lip (NON Step Lip)... Will I have any issues clearing Sport Brakes?

Any other offset recommendations are appreciated

Thank you.

i would do the rear 10.5 ET15 285/35/19 with the front being 9.5 ET35 245/40/19 to match.

11 will still look okay at ET22, i think, but the tire will be stretched more.

Ok, If i go with the 10.5 in rear should i go with a 275/35 tire?

Is the front offset okay in terms of looking good at stock height? or should i raise it?

no definitely go with 285/35/19 on 10.5

front should look fine. my nismo wheel is 9.5 ET40 and looks slightly tucked as i want it.
ET35 will be pretty flush as with 10.5 ET15 on the rear. you dont want to go too aggressive at
stock height.

I see. So with a 5mm spacer on your front nismo wheel, you would still think it looks good?

Yes i agree too aggresive looks odd at stock height... So with 10.5 et15 and 9.5 et35 i should look pretty flush/ clean look.

What do you think about going with a 19x11 et 22 with 295/35 rear? or is that pointless..

Also, what finish do you think will look best? Brushed to Matted silver?

Thanks for you the input Kenchan

Im doing stock heights as well. I just order work vsxx step lips
Front:
19x9.5 +23 (T-Disk)
265x35x19 mpss
Rear:
19x10.5 +19 (A-Disk)
305x30x19 mpss

1 and half more month of waiting... sigh...

I see, I did not want to go that low of an offset for the front, from the research I have done that will poke...

I was going to go with the VS-XX wheels at first BUT I did not want the step lip design. And for the full reverse I would not be able to get the fitment I am looking for without the use of a spacer.... I did not want to use spacers.

Those wheels one of my favorites though, Good choice.. What Finish did you go with?? I see you have the same color as me... Any thoughts on Brushed or Matted Silver for our color?

poop its gonna poke alot? lol I guess I didnt do a good enough research then...
Yeah we have the same color GM KAD. I went with a customer color.
Face: Matte Black
barrel/Lips: Anodized glossy black
Rivets: Gold

It will poke im guessing around 5mm in the front and the rear will be slightly tucked but wont look bad..

Nice choice on the color combo, you should post them up when you get them mounted.

yeah got the whole set up for $3900

Would you go Matted silver or Brushed? for the hs203

Hard choice... Im in to darker shades of color and I like the rims to stand out.
But if you are giving me only those two choices... I would choose brushed.

If I had these rims. I think I would make them Matte bronze Face with Anodized Glossy bronze barrel/lips. darker shades to match with GM KAD. But everyone has different taste.

Those look great! One of my sales guys just bought a Lexus GS with those on there, and they look good... same color as the ones you posted too. Fitment looks a little odd in the rear, but its going on air, so it will look better then.

Do you have a shop you are already getting them from? I am an authorized dealer for Work Wheels.. Just sayin :tup:

I have called a few shops but have not committed to anyone yet. I got a price of 3323 shipped...

Should I give you a call and we can discuss it? Also, do you know if I will have any trouble with the sport brakes not clearing for the Full Reverse lip?

Absolutely give me a call, and we can discuss it!

And i shouldn't have a problem beating that price... At all :tup:

Ok will do. Thanks

so what color did you decided to go with?

I am pretty sure I will go with the Brushed...

WORK Gnosis HS203 is a 2 piece custom wheels.

1. Caliper clearance are based on disk type. Front use R disk, rear use O disk.

2. Wheels can be done in any offset. Based on our experiences

stock - 9.5 +22 range front and 10.5 +18 range rear
spring - 9.5 +18 range front and 11.0 +15 range rear
coil over - 9.5 +15 range front and 11.0 +10 range rear

Tires size matter and also camber spec matter as well.

Thanks, that looks and sounds good.

So will this work for stock height and sport brakes :

Full Reverse Lip
19 x 9.5 +35 Front R Disk

19 x 10.5 +15 O disk

I think you can push it out around 19x9.5 +25 range.

Kenchan, Didn't you run a 19 X 10.5 +15 in rear in the past? I remember one of your posts saying that. And a 19 X 9 +38 with 5mm spacer. How did that look? Should I do 9.5 +38 in front? to be closer to your fronts?

I understand that I COULD push it to around +25 but that will not look good at stock height.

My question is, can I do a 9.5 +35 R disk without any issues on Full Reverse Lip? Same thing on the rear 10.5 +15 O disk without any issues on Full Reverse Lip?

Yes you can. Caliper clearance are based on Disk type, so +35mm offset will clear without spacer.

As long as R disk front and O disk rear, caliper will clear.

19x9.5 +35 ~ +30mm 5x114.3
19x10.5 +22 ~ +18mm 5x114.3

Silver Finish -- $2985 For the Set

BRU Finish -- $3185 For the Set

that's my weds setup with the 10.5 ET15 on the rear. 9.5 ET38 will look pretty much like my 9 ET33 setup if that's wat you want.

when i bought the weds i originally ordered the rear 10.5 ET24, but the store sent me
10.5 ET15's by mistake. they were fine to send me ET24 replacements, but since
the 10.5's fit better inwards vs 10 at ET15, i just kept them for variety's sake.

i personally think the stock 19x10 at ET15 looks weird. too narrow and too
flush to rear arch.

honestly the best fit on stock height for base is the nismo's running 285/35/19
on the rear, RE11's.

Thanks Kenchan, I have got a lot of tips from your posts.

I am thinking of going with 19x9.5 +35 and 19x10.5 +18. that would basically look like the nismo wheels (fitment wise) with 5mm spacers all around. What do you think about that set up?

If you added any size of spacers to front and rear on your nismo wheels what would you do?

nismo setup is 9.5 ET40 and 10.5 ET23 so yah, you will be a tad more aggressive. should look good.
just make sure to get good tires, not some pos.

my recommendation = RE11, or at least the S04. they are the best looking tires in this price range and stick very well, great response.

245/40/19 and 285/35/19

the RE11's will make you feel like you're cheating cause of how controlled and predictable at the limit of adhesion.

:iagree: :tup:

Those wheels are horrible. lol.

My specs are 20x9.5 +1 (+6 with 5mm spacer) 20x10.5 -12 Full reverse lip. R disk in front/ O disk in rear. like 5.5" inch lip i think in rear.

Camber at normal ride height is like -2.5/2.7

Lol, your car made me want these wheels btw. Saw it on IG.

You think they will look just as good without lowering the car with the right fitment?

Also, is that the brushed finish?

Thanks Ralph for all the information you gave me on these wheels. I will say that Ralph at Vivid Racing has gave me the best price out of several other work wheel dealers that I myself have contacted. Great customer service.

I thought it was called Machining Silver but i don't see that on their site. Probably called Brushed Silver Clear

Looks are subjective.. But I'm not going to lie I think it will look silly without it being lowered. You really should consider it.

RE11 sound good to me. I am definitely going with those tire sizes. Thanks for the advice. And I want to add that I 100% agree with you on your post that says wheel shops or manufacturers need to do more researched on stock height cars when recommending wheels sizes. I usually just here 9.5 +22 and 10.5 +12 or other offsets that would only look good when lowering the ride.

Thanks! I really appreciate that! Looking forward to ordering whatever you decide on next week.

I appreciate your honesty.. I feel these wheels look a lot better on lowered cars. Every 370 I have seen that has these wheels has at least Swifts... Have not seen any at stock height. And yes they are called Brushed Silver Clear.

since you're going 19's with appropriate offsets for stock height, they will look good, i think. it wont look like that picture above though with the 20's and lowered.

if you're going for dress up definitely lower your ride. my G is my dress up car and she is definitely lowered. :D my Z will remain stock height for :driving:

Yes I see what you mean. It will still look good. Plus these are the only 5 spoke wheels with a lip that i would consider purchasing. I like everything about them. The only criticism I can give these wheels are that the spokes could have a little more to them... if that makes sense.

I will not be lowering my Z ever. This is why it is taking me so long cause I want the fitment to be right.

Any recommendations on wheel Brands where I can specify offsets Kenchan?
