Gram Lights 57max pros

I've been searching for a while and finally decided on the Gram Lights 57 Max pros

http://www.gramlights.com/wheels/57m...ro/details.php

I would like to see them mounted on a TSX first. I've searched and found little on them in general. Does anyone know anyone that has them or at least where I can see a picture of them on a TSX?

Thanks

just an FYI, i wouldn't be surprised if these wheels are ~$600+ each w/o tires so i doubt u will find them on any TSX unless it is a show car.

I've never seen these before, nice find! You can try http://www.machiii.net/volk_wheels.html .

They look similar to the 5zigen GN's http://www.machiii.net/wheels/5zigen/pracer_gn.htm .

But I agree they'd most likely be around that price range, but someone on here has the 5Zigen's. I forgot his name though, try searchin. I hope this helps somewhat, good luck.

Or you could just buy 'em and be the first to post pics with 'em.

I figured someone out there would have them.

I see plenty of people with wheels from RAYS' Volk lineup on their TSX. They aren't much cheaper.

Plus I've had my car since 05 and been saving for wheels since than. Maybe I will get lucky and be the first one.

So I've decided on the 18s

I'm thinking 18x7.5. But would it be worth risking curbing for 18x8s? My OEMs are mint after 2 years and curbing hasn't been an issue for me so far.

My dealer mentioned I could probably run an A disk type giving the Hub 51mm clearance. according to: http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bin/...Name=57MAX_PRO

What would you recommend for sizes? Need to choose quick cause my dealer is putting in the order Friday.

I have 18x8 SSR's with a 49et, and it fits fine. But wow 1K a piece for the Gramlights?

If curbage is not an issue for you I say do it, and the titanium lip too. heh heh

I'm leaning towards the gunmetal. You all are right 1k a piece is pretty crazy. Titanium Coated is cool but still gonna need tires than hopefully a suspension kit.

Yes, those are nice.

Get em on already....


I used to live in Maine...
No Acura dealer there huh....?
Strange indeed.
Surely Portland, Bangor and others like Lewiston could
support an Acura dealership.


At least you're car is rare and unique where you are.

So what tires are you going to wrap those with?

I'm looking into tires at the moment. So far I like the Falken FK-452s

http://www.falkentire.com/xhtml/tires.php?category=3&tire=1


My dealer had a pair of the Falken Azenis RT-615 in his shop but I think thats a little aggressive for what I'm looking to do.

Ya I had to go to southern New Hampshire just to buy my car. Don't understand why we don't have a dealer. Acura would do great in Central/Southern Maine. I see tons of TLs, RSXs, MDXs, around and I'm starting to see a few more TSXs. So theres a market for them just no place to buy/service them.

Those tires are nice...

If you're looking for all season tires though, I'd suggest Toyo Proxes 4.
I've yet to hear of a better all season tire.

But for summer tires....


Well, look at it this way: NH doesn't have sales tax!
That saved you what the trip was worth and then some.
You're only a couple hours from south NH anyway.

I'm looking for a decent summer tire. I'll be putting Nokian Hakkapelitas on my stock wheels for the winter. So the FK-452s seem to fit the bill.

Also you would think NH no sales tax all right...Nope state of Maine took care of that. They make you pay it when you register
