Hi guys! Thought I'll share this here. It's the new rota 15x9 0 offset (Work CR01 copy). I got the first set here in the Philippines straight from the factory. They say first shipment of these is going to Australia.
Here are some pictures of it fitted in my trueno. Tires are 195/50R15 Achilles 123 fronts, Nankangs on the rear

the bolts.. they are threaded all the way to the back so you can change them to baller ones or different color hehe.
Also as you can see the barrel has that machined finish, colored ones don't have them.

so glad i found this thread. these are the wheels i have planned for my hachi and was having trouble finding other sizes/offsets here in the states. could only find 15x9 -15 in full polished. i still may get that setup cause its kinda agressive how i like it, but i may just see about special ordering a sert of the 15x9 0 offset ones so i dont have to roll/pull so much up front. well see. they look real nice on your hachi. maybe next time i come home ill just buy a set lol.
im from pampanga, angeles city :mrgreen:

i have been curious if 15x9 -15 is enough wheel to fill jblood flares. i doubt it. but the price is right. would love either grid V or kyusha on my hatch.

I like how it's a one peice wheel that still has threaded nuts, so that you can color coordinate them. I think this shows the market they're targeting.

Sure they are knock offs, but I am not trying to win car shows or get respect from anyone. I just want cheap wheels with good offset. I would be dumb to spend the money on real work cr-01 then destroy them drifting. These fit my budget and I dgaf if I explode them. Haters gonna hate...

I respect that Shinchu. I was a bit curious of the Kyusha wheel for a while but the real CR01s offer a wider selection in offset. I ordered Works but if the Kyusha had the identical paint, size, and offset I would likely order them. It's hard justifying $2500 on a $1000 car. :-(

usually people that will spend $2500 on wheels dont have a $1000 car lol.
destroy them drifting? your more likely to explode these
maybe its just me but in the second batch of photos the metal on the lip doesn't look smooth. guess ya get what you pay for

I agree with getting cheap wheels for drift use. Most drivers won't generate the grip required to sheer the faces off of these like you see a lot of the time. Most wheel breakage happens during endurance racing where a lot of braking can heat cycle the metal over an over and eventually it can get brittle and break. Not likely to happen on the higher end wheels but this constant cycling of heating just doesn't happen on drift circuits. If it busts on a drift event it's probably due to impact...and lets face it...most wheels, forged or not, will break with an impact. I've seen several sets of TE37s (with meaty tires) bend hitting the usual pot holes on interstates at 60mph so it can happen to any wheel...just has to be the right conditions. I'd rather it happen on a set of wheels I didn't spend a good chunk of change on.
