Installation
Fitting your water avoider
- 1
Fit it with the valve
The water avoider mounts on the valve stem inside the rim. V16 / V27 valves: plate and body go on top of the rim, gasket, washer and nut underneath. V24 / V36 valves: body and plate sit over the stem, held by washer and nut. See the diagram.

Convex side out
The convex face of the water avoider plate is the outer surface.
- 3
Set the angle
Angle the fin 30–45° against the travelling direction — mirrored on left and right wheels (photos ② and ③).
- 4
Trim if needed
Fin too long for your rim? Adjust the angle first; if it still doesn’t fit, cut off the excess length.
- The rubber gasket supplied with the valve stem isn’t used when the water avoider is fitted.
- Have it fitted by a tyre shop when the tyres are mounted.

Are the wheels genuine?
Yes — every wheel is 100% genuine WORK, shipped direct from WORK Wheels Japan to our Sydney warehouse. Never a replica. We’ve been the official Australian distributor since 2006, and you can verify us on the WORK Wheels Japan website. We’re JDM Concept Pty Ltd, ACN 43 120 929 713, trading from the same Sydney warehouse and the same domain since 2006.
How do I know they’ll fit my car?
Ask us before you buy. Send your car and the model you’re after, and we’ll tell you what clears your brakes, based on real cars we’ve fitted. Guard clearance and tyre setup we leave to your mechanic: confirm those, then send us the spec and we’ll quote it.
How do I order — and how do I pay?

Wheels
In stock: tap Buy and pay by bank transfer (Westpac) — or Zip only when every item in the order is in stock. Built to order in Japan: send us your car and spec, we reply within 1 business day with a quote and ETA, then a deposit — 35% in most cases — locks the build in, or pay in full. Every order gets a tax invoice. We don’t take card or PayPal — it keeps pricing sharp.
Can I order custom sizes, offsets and PCDs?
Yes — made to order to your diameter, width, offset, PCD and finish. Most models support 4x100, 4x114.3, 5x100, 5x112, 5x114.3 and 5x120. Singles and pairs available too.
