I mean really all you gotta do is buy the GramLights center caps, and you have yourself a set of GL 57S Pro's. It even has the g engraved on the one spoke.
Oh I thought the wheels were for you.

Btw, this is all very convoluted. Technically, American Racing = RoJa wheels, two models *were* made by Rays, the R2-5 and R2-7. Mine came in Rays Auto Couture boxes and appear to have been dropped shipped from Mackin.. yet my centercaps came separately from American Racing (yay :/), but honestly no complaints, my centercaps are very quality machined aluminum..

Eliteswheel still lays hands on new sets from time to time. On clearance, they are a great value on a very high quality wheel. You're getting the same barrels as a volk. Same cast center as a GM wheel. Yet the color is *slightly* different (silver).
IIRC, gramlight barrels are cast while Volk barrels are forged, so the ROJA barrels are cast as well

You are right, the RO_JA R2-7 ie Gramlight 57s-PRO were 2 piece cast, while the r2-5 ie 57F Pro was SF

I just noticed American Racing has pulled the Ro_Ja brand (even tho the main image is a G with Ro_ja wheels) and the Ro_Ja wheels site no longer resolves.

For some odd reason, I got a mix of silver and black center caps. American Racing had to send out replacements (which took forever). Anyway, now that the site/brand/info is gone, these might be truly discontinued and it might be difficult to get something like a spare center cap.... although, I've seen people running volk and GM caps.. but thats inviting ownage here

ROJA R2-5/Gramlight 57F-Pro's are definetely discontinued, and the R2-7/57-PRO are likely being phased out by Rays as well, they have already stopped making the C face in that style and will likelly slowly stop production of the wheel completely at some point

And even tho its Rota making the wheel its Ray's still backing them on production of the rim.
So going from a 4000 dollar set up on rims just wait for tire rack to post it on clearance for less then 1500. < thats funny

Tware, No not me, I have never been to Zdays. Im trying to let you guys know, that Im not offending those of you who own these wheels. In fact...props! Because they are the same as GramLights.

But yea, now looking at those wheels again, the dont look a lot like the GGames, more similar to the SF challenge actually. It's too bad they didnt offer this line of wheels in more colors, ie: gold, mercury silver, RMC, all the other great Rays colors

when you pc'd the barrel, was that because you needed to refinish the lips?
