WORK Wheels has delivered news that many enthusiasts were hoping to avoid. The legendary Japanese wheel manufacturer has announced a price change to kick off summer.
WORK Wheels To Raise Prices Across Its Entire Wheel Lineup
WORK Wheels will increase prices on its entire catalog of wheels starting July 1. The company says the adjustment is necessary because of higher costs for raw materials, transportation, and manufacturing.
While the increase is not welcome news for enthusiasts, it reflects the growing costs many automotive manufacturers continue to face.
The announcement follows a similar move by HKS earlier this year. Beginning 2026, HKS raised prices on many of its performance parts after citing rising costs for raw materials, energy, and import tariffs.
The company explained that it had already tried to improve production efficiency and reduce expenses, but maintaining previous pricing was no longer possible.
Now, another well-known Japanese performance brand is making a similar decision as production costs continue to climb.
Many online retailers are still honoring the current pricing before the July 1 increase takes effect.
That gives enthusiasts a chance to buy a new set of wheels now and avoid paying the higher prices.
