You Rays gurus
What is the lightest/strongest and most superior (cost aside) between Volk SF Challenge, G Games / Roja and Grams Lights 57F-Pro. Which one do you guys like the best? And what's the diff between 57 Pro and 57-F Pro. I want gunmetal or light black 19s with the largest lip I can get away with without rubbing for my BS G35 Coupe. Vendors, I'm ready to order, my rear tires are bald!

The strongest would probably be the SF Challenge. The lightest would be the GL 57.
As for the Gram Lights, the difference betweent he 57 and 57F is that the 57F is a full on 2 piece rim with rivets. The 57 does not have rivets.
The problem with the 57F is that Gram Light discontinued them and sold the build to ROJA. Now ROJA sells them under their name but the finish is a little different.

RaySur350GT, is the 57F stronger than the 57? The 57 is lighter I believe. I love your car by the way. That's the best look I,ve seen for the BS G35. What width and offset are your wheels? And, what would you order again, 9 & 10 or 9.5 & 10.5.

Also thanks for the compliments! Actually my car is DG. My rims are GL 57F-Pros 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 in gunmetal. It's probably the lighting that makes it look BSilver. My offsets are very low and I would not recommend getting them unless you want a really large lip. Currently I have +19 Hi-Disk in the front and +17 Low-Disk on the rears. My front lip is 3.5" and my rear lip is 5". I had to have my fenders rolled to fit the rears and my sig is displaying old pics. I lowered the car even more and put 275s on the rear instead of 285s. Now it fits perfect.
As for if I would go with that size again, my answer would be YES. Actually, I would probably go bigger if I could, keeping in the 19" or 20" range and going 11" in the rear.
I don't have any new pics yet on the new set up but here are some old ones that probably can help you out:

was that a custom offset done just for you, or is it something that
i can order over the phone?
do you think if i order these offsets on a 20" wheel it will fit with a little fender rolling, or will it only work with the 19's.
you've got one of the nicest g35's on this site that i've seen, it's a
look i'm trying to copy(compliment implied)
thanks

Beautiful wheels Ray...
I would so pick up the 57F Pro if RO_JA hadn't adopted them. Something urks me about them taking those wheels under their wing.
I noticed you were in S.D. Let me know if you're planning on going with another setup. I'd be more than happy to swoop those off your hands.

I own the GramLight 57Pros...think I was one of the first to go the distance on wait for custom offsets. I LOVE them and haven't found another wheel I like better other than maybe HRE which are priced just a little differently. One word of advice is to keep up on cleaning the polished lip....I live in WI and accidentally let them sit over this last winter with "some" dirt on the wheels...must have been some salt, cause the clearcoat broke down in a few places and they don't look perfect any longer! ARggggg! Damn light though...I don't remember the weight...but I did post long long time ago...might be able to find on search if you expand the history far enough. Pretty sure even my 10.5 rears with T1-S weighed less than the 245s on my Performance wheel.

Well we have sets of RO_JA by Rays in Carbon Black and Mercury silver (19x8.5+25 and 19x10.5+32).
We also can get aggressive offsets 19x9.5+19 and 19x10.5+19 but the rear fenders will have to be rolled.
They are the same wheel as the Gram Light 57f Pro pictured above on the G35 coupe. (They are still made by Rays engineering of Japan).
I run the aggressive set on my Z and absolutely love them (pics are below).
If anyone wants a set we sell them for the best price in the nation.
Pm or call me at 949-939-5413
