Cyase

Gram lights.. no..
Gram light pros... yes
Thats pertaining to if they come in 19 inches.

I just got my 57 Pro's on Friday...they are stunning. Basically, they look exactly like those without any rivets or fasteners visible. They are welded 2 piece. I'm getting my tires mounted this week, and will have some pics up soon. My specs are very similar...18x9 and 18x10 with 25mm offset front and rear. The lip is roughly 3 inches on the back, and around 2 1/2 inches in front. I need someone to host pics though...so if anyone can do so, please let me know. VQRacer won't host pics for the wheel gallery until they are on the car... Thanks.

Haha...ok VQ...I guess I wore you down, and your curiosity is getting the best of you.

At any rate, the 3 photos I'll send you were taken by Driven from this board. He got the exact same setup that I did. I took some pics this weekend, but haven't transferred them to my PC yet. I'll try and do that tomorrow. I just got off the phone...tires should be mounted on Thurs, and the wheels should be on the car by thurs night or friday at the latest.

Once you see those in person you WILL be hooked on them.

I am currently debating on these (in gold), the GTNs (gold) or the LE28s (Bronze) for a white G35C

woogemooge

gram lights, gram light pros, all the same thing--they're all gram light brand wheels.

J Ritt, please post pics!! i'm dying to see these wheels on a Z. i see that GL 57F Pros are available in 19's on ray's website...but i guess they haven't been released just yet. anyone have any ideas if/when they'll become available? i'd love to have some 19" GL 57F Pros on my Z

As I said, I'm dropping them off to be mounted tomorrow, and should be picking them up thursday. I'll try to get some pics of them on the car asap for VQ to post up. I'll tell you right now though, they are going to look amazing...the lips look very comparable to what's on the RX-7 in the picture.

UGH! Why did i have to jump the gun and order GT-C's. I love the 57F-Pro's so much more. They are by far the best looking wheel i have ever seen. But i thought they where never gonna come out (or so it seemed). Oh well, guess i'll just save up and get them also.

anyone know how much they weigh?

J Ritt

My 18x9" weigh roughly 21-22lbs, and the 10" weigh about 22-23lbs. These measurements were taken with the old "stand on the digital bathroom scale first, then stand on it with the item in hand." I did it a few times and looked at the average.

Well, I went ahead and took a few more pics...check em out. I didn't take high res...wanted to keep the pics small for emailing, etc. Wheels should be on the car Thurs night...I'll post pics early next week most likely.

The last pic shows the front and rear wheels side by side, so you can see the difference in lip size (3 1/2 vs. 2 1/2 inches give or take). I'm pretty phyched...in person these things are

i hope they're not really that heavy, are they forged?

J ritt, yours look different, are they a different varitation??

no if his wts are correct, that isn't that heavy

I LOVE the ones on the RX7, my favorite VOLKS, BY FAR!!!

iTrader: (2)

J ritt, never mind I just read your post where it talks about the bolts (actually much how my wheels differ from 3 piece iForged), I think the only difference between yours and the RX is the bolts, color and the spokes look slightly different shape (18" vs 19"??)

get those damn things on your car!!!!!!!

woogemooge

rodH, i think the ones on the rx-7 are GL 57F Pros, whereas the ones J ritt have are GL 57 Pros. i think the only difference between the two are the bolts...no? the spokes seem to be the same...

(and why is it that the wheels on rx-7 look so HUGE?)

if there was a rim that would make me question my choice, those would be it, but thats ok, I just like the lip on them.

Im into simplicity when it comes to rims if you cant tell, nothin flashy for me.

I've always really liked those 57f-pro's, I wonder when they will ever be available to buy?

The price for these is still not on the Rays website. I wonder which offsets they will be shipping to the US for the 350z. Looking at the offset chart, I don't see a perfect set up.

I'm with ares, if these ever become for sale - I may have to think about switching up.
