Javy's Gram Lights 57s-Pro's
So I've been trying to decide on wheels forever. I wanted 1) something Japanese, 2) something in 18's, because I didn't want to degrade my ride quality too much by going low profile, and 3) something light.
So here they are - work in progress pics of my new shoes. They're Gram Lights 57s-Pro's, made by Rays Engineering. Specs: Front - 18x8.5, +33 offset. Weight: 23 lbs. Rear - 18x9.0, +33 offset. Weight: 23 lbs. Not TPMS compatible - didn't really care, although I might get them drilled. I'm still waiting on my Rays center caps and blue lug nuts (which I think will bring out the blue in my paint as well as the blue decal on the spokes). I love how easy they are to clean - a quick wipe of the polished lip and they look perfect! Hooray for gunmetal... :D Anyway, on to the pics! The background should make all you USC fans out there happy... ;) https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da...Wheels-030.jpg https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da...Wheels-004.jpg https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da...Wheels-034.jpg https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da...Wheels-040.jpg https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da...Wheels-035.jpg https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da...Wheels-051.jpg https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da...Wheels-025.jpg https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da...Wheels-011.jpg |

those look hot! i have been wanting to see a set up with 18" rims that have a lip, and man they look clean..........
|
Javy, it looks AMAZIN'. Gunmetal matches your emblems, blue will match your paint flecks. Great choice; really flows with the design, gives it a nice, aggressive look. I'm glad to finally see pics! ;D

Javier, looks awesome!
So that's why you were selling your spacers. I love gunmetal for that same reason you mentioned. ;) Also I got blue lugnuts, and I really think they go along with GFM, and I think if you bought the Rays or Works lugnuts, it would save you a lot of money than painting them. And like you said, you can NEVER get tired of GFM threads. :) What kind of tires did you go with, they look like the ES100's and what are the specs? And those Ray's Valvestem caps... You should tighten them more, some bastard jacked mine awhile back. :( |
Those REALLY do look great, especially with the Glacier Frost White!:thumbup:
Great choice, man!:thumbup: I notice you have Texas plates, but your signature is Pasadena, CA. Did you just move to CA from TX? Cheers, Old Oiler |
javy, i thoguht u were in LA.
but man LOOKING GOOD!!!!!!! |
Very nice choice, they really look good on the car.
|
I've had my eye on those too!
Brand, Quality, Looks, and Specs for a good price. Definitely best bang for the buck. Regarding drilling the TPMS, I am interested as well. I've seen some drill the TPMS from the opposite side of the wheel's manufactured valve stem. Do you know if adding TPMS will add significant weight where it must be balanced with tire weights? |
Very nice :thumbup:
|
looking good :thumbup:

Looking real good Javy! What size tires you running? You also lost about 14lbs of rotational mass with the new wheels. :)

Thanks for the compliments, everyone!
