Dreaming of these rims.....

These are my new favorite rims:

Gram Lights 57 maximum Pro.





The pictures are for an aggressive offset for the 350z/g35. So I understand that the lip would never be like that for my civic, but still it's a sick *** rim.

I have come to the conclusion that I will only purchase a reverse barrel rim. Meaning that the outer lip is just curved out rather then a sharp corner then a flat lip on the outside.

too bad they go for 576 per wheel...

Maybe one day.....

As for now, I'm still day dreaming.

Re: Dreaming of these rims.....

that's way too much for a rim, go look for some better looking rims at discounttiredirect.com, free shipping and much better deals.

You mean 576/piece? Yes, the link included in my original post shows the wheel for sale at vividracing.com The wheel you posted is the 57S one piece. The wheel I want is the 57 Maximum Pro, 2 piece.


One day THEY SHALL BE MINE!

I disagree. I think this rim would look good without the massive lip. You don't need lip to have a nice looking rim. Volk Ce28N's don't have a lip, most of the advan wheels dont, they're all nice. Whatever the case, I still like these gram lights.

Re: Dreaming of these rims.....

Here's a photochop of what It might look like if I get these wheels. I would probably take the wheel to a local paint shop and get the color matched for my car. So I would have color matched gunmetal wheels and car.

Oh nice, I like those too. I was thinking of this model:





I think the seibon edition is like a dark grey, as the time attacks are black, not sure though.

Re: Dreaming of these rims.....

Yeah, that's about right. I prefer the time attacks over the seibon. Time attacks are more rare and hard to get.

They're not really anything special and I don't have a good picture of the lip on the back. The front is hardly anything.

But these pics are all variations of the te37. Beautiful wheels though.

Re: Dreaming of these rims.....

I've always been skeptical about Tenzo-R, are they good quality? I want the wheels on my car to be the corner stone of my build... I just get so discouraged when I see the people around here with pretty nice cars and then hideous wheels..... I dont wanna be wunna dem.
