A new style proposed by slim fin + dish
With the combination of reverse Zorifin and DDC rim
New works that create a movement
Wheel designs such as mesh, spokes, and dishes are easy to match with Y32/33. This is evidenced by the fact that demo cars from aero manufacturers often wear wheels made from this type. However, there is another type of wheel design. That's fin design. About 10 years ago, Fin Design wheels were at their peak. However, for some reason it fell out of favor after that, and the fin wheel was forgotten for a long time. However, a new type of fin wheel made its debut around the year before last. This new type of fin is called a racing fin, and it has thick spokes like those used on touring cars and WRC machines. However, due to her upbringing, she was too sporty, and her options for dressing up were limited.
This wheel, which was introduced as the first model of the new work brand "Emitz," is a fin wheel with a completely new face that is a little different from racing fins. First of all, the fin itself is made to be quite slim. This is the same method used for old wheels, but the center part of the rimmed fin retracts inward and rises toward the rim, creating a so-called reverse layout that has never been seen before. Another key point is that the fins are not directly connected to the rim, but are cut off at the end in a straight line, emphasizing the backwards feel and length of the legs. Furthermore, if you look at this wheel from the front, you can see the dish behind the fins. This covers the thinness of the lines peculiar to fin wheels, and also makes it look like a fin wheel with a sharp shine when it is stationary, and as a dish wheel with volume when it is in motion. It plays a role in this. In addition, the use of Work's unique DDC (Dynamic Dimple Cone) rim gives the entire wheel a strong three-dimensional feel, making it possible to make your presence known even when set on a large-bodied sedan.
There are many variations, including a chrome DDC rim and a round monotube rim type, as well as white plating and gold pierced bolt specifications as options. Release is scheduled for early February 1997.
Message from the manufacturer
I wanted to create a crisp sharpness.
Since we wanted to create a wheel for a sedan that has never been seen before, we came up with a fin wheel that emphasizes sharpness. The fins are all curved backwards, and the feature is that they reflect light in a variety of directions, including the straight cut where they connect to the rim and the gentle surface of the DDC rim. This wheel is still a prototype and has a fairly deep rim, but I think the Y32/33 version will have a slightly shallower rim and a stronger shine. The gold pierced bolt and gold air valve shown in the photo will of course be available as options. New products will debut one after another in 1997, so please keep an eye out for them.
