Hey Work wheel experts!
One of my friends actually ordered a set of wheels directly after they got released this year.
As many of us he got inspiration from posts on social media and ordered them with the expectation that it would look as decent as on other cars.
We directly noticed, that the deep-lip is not as prominent as on the images we saw….
After some digging I found an old PDF, that included the sheets of from the old catalog.
As you can maybe see, its actually the case that the old rims offered a deeper lip than the new ones….
20mm to be exact or 3/4 of an inch for americans.
I included the whole catalog page and a cutout for you to check aswell.
Is anybody able to explain that? I think it is kinda misleading from work to offer a "relaunch" of a popular wheel and actually change the specs.

I mean, it’s kind of your own fault if you order wheels with a different spec than what you’re expecting. I don’t understand the point of this post?
If you want more aggressive spec, find a set of older ones or special order.
This just seems like your friend didn’t do their research at all and just took random online hype of a “relaunch” too literally.
The website itself says its an evolution of the VS KF wheel called the VS KF#
>The legendary “VS KF”, widely praised before its 2017 farewell, has made its remarkable return with a bold evolution.
And then:
>Building on the legacy of the original VS KF, it sets a new standard for the next generation.
Blending nostalgia with innovation, this wheel delivers a unique and undeniable presence.
Your friend should have just done their due diligence.

Looking at photos of cars with VS KF wheels will always be a lot more difficult now unless someone specifies if it’s a VS KF or VS KF#, but either way, no Work is not scamming anyone, all the information for the wheels are there.
Your friend didn’t notice it sooner… going off of the spec sheet, you’d realize that there’s less lip. And that’s because the faces are more concave than the previous ones.
I ordered a set and ended up going a bit more aggressive in order to get more lip space.
This is such a dumb take.
It’s literally a different wheel design and they aren’t trying to hide it.
If you look at IG pics of an old wheel of a different model and expect it to look like a new design, you are the problem.
Two different wheels with the same specs will look different.
If you order bespoke wheels without reading the spec sheet, that’s on you.
