Default Gram lights on a SC300/400?

Anyone got Volk Gram Lights on their SC300/400? IF so I'd like to see some pics.

Thanks

Default looks good, but...

E,

Those are very nice and very good quality wheels... But as supply and demand goes those are the same damn wheels on every turbo, non-turbo subaru and mits around town now days... In fact it looks like every one in Hawaii that gets a blue subaru has those come stock in bronze - if you know what I mean. So by supply and demand... I mean that if there is a demand for something, well you know how some people will get to supply it in the underground market. Like its good that our SC is not really wanted for parts, but the add ons stuff you need to consider. Just my humble thoughts finishing work at 11:25 pm on a friday night bro... damn I gotta get a beer now....

In all honesty I have seen gram lights on many of the typical econo boxes these days. But I've yet to seemany of em spring for the 2 piece with a nice lip, the 57 pro I think it is. Most of the Honda/Subaru's I've seen don't run the real Gram Lights they run knock offs or the rim from SSR that looks similar. It's tough to be different on a budget these days. Can't exactly go out and drop the cash for a set of HRE's or Iforged wheels.

It seems people are running any kind of rim on any kind of car these days. Heck I saw someone with 15" work equips for sale, they were coming off a honda.

Lastly I've yet to see a SC here with a set of these. So I would be different by having them, and no I wouldn't get them in the gold/bronze color.

Default clarify...

E,

Let me clarify here.... By underground sellers, I mean car thiefs, jackers, haters who steal shizzo. So because the grams are a popular wheel here, they would be a good target to steal as in supply and demand - probably more so for the two peice. You run the risk anyway with nice wheels but stuff that popular I think it just adds to the risk...

I have not seen the gram SC yet, but I have not seen the other SC's here, like the bomex kit one yet...

umm...the idea of supply and demand is related to price. with higher demand, sellers can charge more especially if there is a low supply. but if supply is high as well, then prices cannot be driven up. if there is low demand, nobody will buy for a high price, so prices fall, especially with high supply. but if there is a low demand and low supply, then prices even out. i'm not sure how you're thinking about the supply/demand concept, but it's definitely not the conventional way to approach it.

i guess i don't understand your use of the term...but maybe i've just been away from economics for too long.

I don't like economics, but I sure like the gram lights......especially in the style/size of that red SC300. Think they'd look good on a light colored car, but to accompany them a nice kit would be needed
