Wheel Directory: Gram Lights 57FXX 18x8.5 +45




Had mine on order for 8 months and these finally came in the other day. Been told I'm the first in the nation with these wheels in this particular spec and trim.

Was iffy at first how they might look on the FR-S as there isn't much to online to make a judgement so was a crapshoot. Glad they look pretty good especially coming off of Work Emotion Kiwamis. Originally I had silver caps ordered but Mackin must have mixed things up but the red is a nice touch.

Size: 18x8.5 +45 offset in Bright Silver trim (square setup)
Tires: Falken Azenis 225/40R18
Springs: RS-R Super Down lowering springs on stock struts.

Should be just fine. In fact, I'm planning to get 235s to fill out the wheels once my current ones wear out.

they look awesome! I'm planning to purchase 17" Rays 57 Xtreme 2-7" and 2-9" (staggered) wheels for summer use.

Did you weigh them prior to install???

The silver on these wheels looks much better then the black IMO.
