The high quality control of Rays is probably a large contributor to why none or very little wheel weights are required to balance my wheels. (TE37s)

Re: Rays (FutureITR)

They showed this video at their booth at the SEMA show last year. And when I bought my 15x7 TEs they were $320 a wheel shipped to my door special order from Japan.

Those price increases suck!
