Joe - hope you're able to dig up some pics. How much is a decent price for 17 x 7? I got a quote yesterday for $382.50 ea on the gram lights 57pro. I have no idea if the g-games is less??

Im sure the major differences between the g-games and the Grams is that the Grams are 2 piece and forged instead of 1 piece and cast...

Thanks for the info. Good looking price...
I'm having trouble finding the official weight of 17 x 7's. I've seen people on boards speculating anywhere from 16 lbs to 20+ = big discrepancy.
If they're more than, 18 lbs, I might consider staying with the OEMs since I consider wheels a "mod".

If you look at the entire GT series Volks (all 2-piece forged) none are particularly light. The light ones are the 1-piece monoblock.
