EDIT: This was split from another thread. Picked up a set of 18x9.5 +40 Gramlights

Sold. Put in an order for a set of these.


Edit again:

To make this a bit easier, here are the pictures of my car as well as the specs on the setup:

18x9.5 +40
Hankook Ventus V12 255/35/18
RSR Sports-i coilovers lowered around 30ish mm
No rubbing, the car is around 2 degrees of camber all around.

Update 2014/06/13 Here are some newer images of the wheels on the car:

Uh, I think it was close to $400 per wheel. I only have the total right now.

What size and weight? Was it the special Blue color?

18x9.5 square, matt graphite with no special machining. I went super basic. The blue color will fade with use, not really what I'm looking for in a wheel. Here is the disclaimer they provide:
"Luminous colors are susceptible to degradation by ultraviolet light and may fade or discolor after six to twelve months of exposure to road conditions.
Before purchase, please be aware that RAYS cannot be held responsible for the fading or discoloration of fluorescent coatings."

So they're basically show wheels when you get the blue/pink. I'm going to use them as actual driving wheels.

Don't have weights on hand.

Yeah I have my stock wheels, currently on my "better looking than stock" TSW's, and the GramLights will be my everyday wheels. I'm going to use the TSW's for sliding if I don't sell them.

So I got my wheels mounted up finally:

Damm that looks really good sir.

Looks awesome man! That's 18x9.5" +40 offset squared?

Yep.

How much are you lowered and what camber up front? Looking excellent. I like both DR and C7.
I remember you had TSW wheels before and the style of spokes is pretty similar to C7, looked good too. I'm not surprised you picked these :).

I'm around 30mm lower. Low, but not slammed or hellaflush. I need to get it aligned again soon as I manually adjusted the plates. My level is a piece of crap, so I'm not sure how accurate the readings were. I'm about 1 degree of camber up front, and around 2 in the rear.

I was actually about to pull the trigger on some DRs in June when they announced these, and that picture of the concaveness of the 9.5 sold me on them. So I quickly adjusted and picked these up.

I actually really miss the TSWs. They were light weight for what they were, and really sturdy. I sold them to a local guy out here, and he's loving them. I gave him a super deal too, gotta keep the community thriving!

What tires you running on these? If you are close in your front guesstimate that has to rub with only -1?

These wheels honestly on that color IMO is the best set "looks wise" you could choose, that's my personal opinion of course! :)

Definitely not rubbing at all. There is plenty of room.

lol thanks, yeah I like this color the best of all the current choices.

Awesome good to know! I honestly figured would need to be closer to a -2 range...

^^I normally don't like red wheels but daaaaaamn!!!! Those things look so awesome

V12s look slightly side wall rounded would that be accurate observation? Not a bad thing makes fitment easier, how are they for road noise and comfort in this size?

Are you running on coilover or stock strut?

I want these! Think they'd clear the stock strut with sportline springs?

Yeah very slight rounded sidewall. The road noise is a bit louder than stock or my 18x8's due to the extra tire. Comfort wise it's WAY better. Inconsistent road areas are less intimidating and less jarring.

I'm on RSR Sports-i coilovers. Lowered to around 30ish MM lower. Give or take a few MM.

That I don't know. They were pretty close to my coilovers in the front.

love the rims..
 

I fell in love with these rims after seeing your car. If I can afford an fr-s in the near future, I will for sure have the same combo, along with the five axis spoiler :) Only difference is, I prefer whiteout..

Doesen't look half as good on whiteout though just sayin'...

Nice. Reminds me of Advan's RGII

It's really close to the RGIII as well.

I think I've finally made my decision, these will be my next set of rims. Thank you for the inspiration. :)

No problem. I'm super happy with the wheels so far. They look really good, and the car feels really nice on them.

Here are two shots I had on my phone that I finally got around to uploading:

Perfect, Any idea if this offset would hit the stock strut? I want to keep the stock struts but truly love these wheels.

Stock strut ain't gonna cut it with the width of wheel and tire all up no.

Anyhow I'll say it again on Argento these are the nicest wheels indeed. I don't think they'd look near as good on other colors however. Just the color blend I suppose.

oh man these are so damn awesome lol mine should be here anytime now, i even have the same coil overs you have on order lol i will be your canadian twin :D

Sweet! The wheels really do change the look of the car. I love going to the garage and checking out the car. I'm still in disbelief that it's my car.

i keep checking you car out lol as a matter of fact its my screen saver on my laptop and back ground on my cell phone :)

I want commission/finders fee yo :cheers:

where did you buy from? I am getting screwed for pricing

B2autodesigns here on the forums. I think I paid $1695 total to my door. Not sure if I got in on a deal or not.

they are like $515 per wheel with out shipping and taxes
