Default NEW RAYS GRAM LIGHTS WHEEL What you guys think???

What up guys!

Wanted to get your response on this wheel -

Looks wise we think it looks pretty cool - its a throwback to the good old days of the Volk Group NR Wheels -

It's targeted mainly for the K-car Market in Japan -

It's cast, lightweight and not crazy expensive -

the only thing - 16x6.5 4-100 only! +35 +45 +55 offsets avialable - Retail price is around $300 per wheel -

Let me know guys!







Sorry wrong car - but at least you get an idea of how it looks on a car.

I'll be honest and state that I'm not a huge fan. I've never really like the extreme cut-back faces like those for the sake of a "huge lip" appearance. They just look weird from certain angles (like how the rear wheel looks). It's the same reason why I'm not too fond of the Konig Re-Track's.

If the step in the lips was removed, and the spokes then came closer to the lips and less inward... then I think they'd look pretty sharp.

I love gram lights, but I'm a big fan of their 57 pros.

That model reminds me of a Konig wheel. Not my taste but ya never know it may grow on me once I see them mounted on someones Civic or Teg.

I AGREE!! We're working on some cleaner wheels for the next generation Gram Lights wheels - Some of their planning guys got out of whack in Japan and we pushed them to get back to their roots - thanks for all of the great feedback!

I've never seen a honda-specific wheel in 16" that was less than 7" wide. That size option is actually ANTI-agressive. Make it in at least 7 wide and it will be a hit.

Well, first of all, HFP wheels come in 16x6.5"... so you've either missed out on them or forgot them. Secondly, he already stated that these are NOT Honda-specific wheels. They're K-car specific (as noted by the Daihatsu in the picture).

Thanks for the clarification that -

You're absolutely right - We weren't planning on bringing this to the states since it's only available in 6.5 wide -

We know most Honda guys want 7 inch wide or more -

The reason I put this up is because a magazine editor got wind of this wheel and knowing that I wasnt bringing this wheel in - he thought it might be cool to rock it on his Honda - it's 6.5 wide, but you can get +35 offset which would still sit decent on the car.

Anyhow thanks everyone for your feedback! From now on - We're going to ask you guys alot of questions in planning our wheels to get them done right - thanks!
