Work Zistance W5S Wheels



What Makes the Work Zistance W5S Special?

Work Wheels’ Zistance range is a collection of 3-piece alloy wheels. It is chosen by VIPs for their elegant designs that goes perfect with their limousines, big body coupes, and SUVs. Because of the 3-piece construction, they can be ordered in super deep dish sizes with 1mm offset increments, plus you can have a set custom made to perfectly suit your car. These characteristics make the Work Zistance W5S desirable among enthusiasts and connoisseurs.

The Zistance W5S is a 5-spoke wheel, with a recessed mounting face that gives the wheel design serious attitude in high offsets and deep face in low offsets. Here is a wheel that is so incredibly strong and light weight that it will take your performance car to the next level with precise handling, natural steering wheel, and better acceleration due to the reduced un-sprung mass. And this wheel will remain intact despite the abuse of racing and spirited driving due to Work Wheels’ 3-piece wheel construction.

What are the advantages of three piece wheels?

  • Because they’re typically custom made, the wheels are often built to the vehicle’s exact specifications allowing for factors such as bigger brakes, a lowered suspension and any other modifications that might make fitting a wheel difficult to be taken into consideration during the production process
  • Three-piece wheels rarely need hub centric spacers or rings
  • Because they’re made from three different pieces, they open the door for nearly limitless finishes
  • The wheels can be made with a custom color on the lip, a two-tone finish on the face, a contrasting color on the bolts

Work Wheels’ Three Piece Construction

The ZISTANCE W5S is made up of three parts: center disc, outer rim, and inner rim.  The center is assembled in the sandwich between outer and inner rim and assembled through Work chrome-plated stainless steel Inox Torx screws. Finally, the assembly gap between rims and center is sealed with a Work proven high-quality silicone sealant.

Opting for the Sport VIP Style means getting your wheel constructed using the Sandwich type mount. The sandwich construction is the classic assembly method which is used by Work since the first production of 3-piece wheels in 1977. Aside from the W5S, only the Competition oriented design MEISTER S1 and the retro designs EQUIP 01 and 03 are using this construction.

The W5S sports a different assembly method, however. Assembled and assembled & welded 3-piece Work wheels with Overhead assembly like the Zistance W5S are basically composed by the same parts as the sandwich construction. As main difference the center disc is assembled to the rims from the front outside. The overhead assembly is todays standard of Work 3piece wheels. The result of using Full Reverse rims in combination with overhead assembly is a center disc with a considerably larger diameter which makes the wheel look bigger and more attractive.

Most manufacturers of 3-piece wheels are using spun rims with rim edges that are curled backwards, leaving a hollow area that reduces the strength of the rim edge. Work has replaced this production method with the state-of-the-art solid outer rim edge which is forged from full material.

Features:

  • Big range of offsets, outer rim depths and widths (up to 13.5")
  • Standard PCD: 5x114.3
  • Optional PCD: 5x10 - 5x12
  • Plethora of finishes in Work’s Colorism program
  • Available in 19, 20 and 21-inch diameters

The Zistance W5S also sports a solid rim edge. The cold forged outer rim edge of WORK rims is manufactured from full material. This production method provides a superior strength and resistance against impact stress.
