The wheels themselves weigh in at 22lbs each. Not fitment issues at all on the RS1.0 , which is on TRD Springs.

I am trying to decide between these and the 57Xtreme. But it looks like nobody on here has them and there's no thread on this. I just wanted to know some more info on them before buying like Weight..etc. Or how they look in actual photos.

Looks really similar to the GS-F wheels.

Most vendors that can order the wheel for you should be able to find out what the (rough) weight of the wheel is, provided the sizing you want. It might be easier to find the weight of a more common Gramlights wheel with the same technology (C - 1P) such at the 57Getter, 57C6, and 57Xtreme to get a (again, rough) idea of what the weight of the 57Valkyrie will be.

There are images online, you just need to take the time to search through a few Japanese wheel and, or care review websites - that's what I did for my 57FXX wheels. Here's a pic I found just googling '57Valkyrie 86' -

I think that they'd look great on an RS 1.0 - bronze looks surprisingly good with the yellow (IMO.)

Haha yea I was trying to Google frs instead of 86. It looks like some Japanese 86 owners have it though. If it weighs anything like the 57xtreme I might jump on it.

I'm getting these for my hyperblue actually, I noticed there was no threads about it either. I kinda like how no one really has them though, it's good to be one of the few :)

Just ordered my set of 18x8.5 from RAVSpec :thumbup:

Hopefully it wont be too heavy. The shipping weight is around 100lbs :cry: , Please let it be some kind of heavy padding or something lol.

I was offered these when I ordered 57xtremes and the xtremes were already sold..

I decided I just didn't like them IMO and ended up buying 57xtremes elsewhere.

The shipping weight for my 57FXX wheels (18 x 7.5 + 40 - just arrive last Saturday) was also listed at 100 lbs. The packaging is very well done and reinforced with thick, heavy pieces of cardboard all around the wheel that do add to the weight.

I weighed one of the wheels tonight and it was exactly 20 lbs, so my guess is that the 57Valkyrie in the 8.5 width will probably average 21 ~ 22 lb per wheel.

You sir are correct , I just got my set and they weighed ~22 lbs each.

Those look sexy 😱 do you have them on your car yet?

Still trying to decide on which size tires lol. Should have em on my car by this week.

Where did you order them from? Please post pics when you get them on! I'm really intrigued by these wheels and might pick up a set for myself... if that's okay with you :thanks:

I got them from @RavSpec , Will be uploading pics once I mount the tires. Still deciding between 225/40 and 245/35 :iono:

225 is too small..

Thats what I was thinking too , But then I look at pictures and it seems just fine. Tire rack says 225 is good for 7.5"-9.0". My friends lexus has a 225/40 on his 18x8.0 , and it fits perfectly. Would 0.5" change it that much? I am also getting Michelin PSS , which run a bit wider than usual. So it could just fit perfectly.

I dont really mind going wider , since that would save the headache. But I have read on here that wider tires do affect the steering feel of the car. And this cars power doesnt really need a really wide tire.

Maybe 225 on the front and 245 on the back? :iono:
