Finally got my wheels.
I ordered these in April and just finally received them this past week [long story]. It was worth the wait i think!

19" Work Brombacher / Step Lip / Platinum Gold Finish

Yup! worth the wait. Looks very nice.

What sizes did you go with and how does it fit?

Thanks David. I went with 19x8.5 front and 19x10.5 rears. I wanted 11's out back, but the offset i needed didn't come in an 11" width with the step lip. I could have gotten an 11" rear with a reverse lip, but that would have defeated the whole purpose of getting the brombachers in the first place! So i figure I would just add a 15mm spacer and problem solved.

As far as fit, i am actually really rubbing a little all around, but my fenders are not rolled yet and my car is pretty dropped. I am rolling them later today and trying out different spacers so I'll keep this thread updated if anyone cares. lol

Do it! The only thing is it takes Work Japan FOREVER to put them together and ship. One of the reasons it took so long to get here is i guess the shipping guys [i am just assuming here] must have had an all night bender and they forgot to put the rims on the boat! So i waited a month for shipping, boat arrived, rims are on the manifest, but wait. They're not on the %!$^! boat! Ugh. By this point I had waited so long I figured f it. At least I got some free tires out of the deal.

Thanks Rich! Yeah, it was definitely one of the main reasons I went with the gold finish. It really sets off the interior.

Thanks to everyone who is digging the new set up.

On another note [not trying to turn this into a for sale post] but my old rims are for sale.
