AUTHENTIC Rays Gram Light 57s Pro w/ Titanium Lip

Category: Wheels & Tires
Price: $1250

Part Fits (you may select multiples): NSX 1G, RL 1G, TL 3G, TL 2G, TL 1G, TSX 2G, TSX 1G, Other Honda/Acura, Type-S Model
Location (State/Prov/Terr): KS
Item Condition: Used

These are not KNOCKOFFS! 100% authentic. I purchased these from a friend who had them on an IS250 hoping to throw these on my car with every intention of making them work on the car, but the style of the wheel doesn't exactly flow with the styling of the car so they are up for sale. He waited 5 months for these wheels to arrive. In order for these two fit properly with no structural or bodily damage to my car, I had to raise it up from it's current height, which I wasn't willing to do, or I had to shave/roll my fenders which I was willing to do. In addition to that, because my car is AWD, it's going to cost me even more in order to get these to work right without throwing off the AWD system (i.e. invest in new tires, which I already planned on). I don't want to break the bank in order to make these fit.

I am not looking to make any profit from this, but to simply break come close to breaking even or hopefully break even at the cost of purchasing the wheels from him and shipping and ordering my dream wheels (Leon Hardiritt Orden). Shipping these wheels was extremely expensive, because of the size and weight with the tires, shipping 4 of them, and then having them insured at a cost of $2 for every $100 through UPS. I had them insured for $5k. You do the math. I was told around $200. It was way more than that!

3 of the wheels are in good riding condition. The 4th as you can see is severely damaged, but I'm willing to throw it in to see if there's anything that the potential buyer can do in order to salvage it. It's a 2 piece cast wheel.

MSRP on the damaged 19x9.5 wheel is $1178 according to Autofashion USA based out of California. Add in $40 shipping and it's $1218 for that one wheel alone. My friend recalls paying approximately $4300 and some change for the wheels.

Therefore, to order this setup brand new with the tires, it's over $5k. Add in the 5 month wait, or possibly even longer with the recent tsunami damage to Japan.

Autofashion quoted me $1085 for the 19x8.5 wheel and $1178 for the 19x9.5 wheel.

Wheel Specifications:

*Rays Gram Light 57s Pro w/ titanium lip 5x114.3 bolt style pattern
*19x8.5 et +35 (front) ($1085 per wheel)
*19x9.5 et +40 (rear) ($1178 per wheel)
*Authentic Rays Caps ($160 for the set)
*Authentic Rays Valve Stems The one on the damaged wheel is missing. Can be replaced for approximately $7
*Falken FK452 Tires for the front 225/35/19. Camber wear, will need to be replaced soon
*General Exclaim UHP for the rear 245/35/19. Pretty much brand new.

$1250 OBO SHIPPED FIRM. I've seen 18's with tires sell for double that. Google it for yourself and you will see. Save yourself a few grand and buy these with tires. Essentially, you're paying for one wheel, one tire, one center cap and you're getting 3 wheels and one bad one in need of some serious surgery. **** if you don't want to throw them on the car, use them as a really nice end table. They are absolutely gorgeous in person.










































Pictures of them on my car. They do not go with the styling of the car IMO, hence my reason for selling.

I didn't hit it.....my friend went drifting and it wasn't on purpose. He slid into a curb at around 50mph and blam.....bent wheel.

Apparently, this shows the strength of the wheel as a cheap wheel would probably break at the hub. This one just bent the lip.

Daily bump....IMO, it would be less of a hassle to just order a new wheel. Autofashion said turnaround time is 8 weeks or less. That's fairly fast for a wheel that originally took 5 and a half months to make.

They look stunning in person. Will consider trades for 20" work varianza t1s + cash on my end or a canon eos 7D. If you have a nice lens with it, I will add cash as well to make the trade even.

i did the math, and 2% insurance of $5000 is $100 not $200.

That's true...I have no idea why it was so expensive. Guys at the UPS store in Wylie Texas told me $200 on insurance, in addition to the weight and dimensions of each wheel. It added up. I've never shipped wheels that were as expensive as this particular set.

They're heavy, but not that heavy.

I will be out of town this Wednesday on a quick trip through St. Louis, then north to Illinois, and then Michigan. If someone is in the vicinity of where I'm traveling and would like to look at them, I will knock off $200. That's dirt cheap.
