The Gram Light 57FXX. I was wrong saything they were Volks, they are technically Rays. but still 4 of these for 2 of those. Paint these matching colour blue and no one would really know the difference :p

WTF?! By the time you put tires on them they are almost 1/2 the price of what the car costs

IT BLENDS!

Look Ma, no more rivets.

Wow... Now THAT is a rocket bunny kit. I wonder how much extra it cost them to mold it like that....... Sooooooo nice. I would love to have this kit on my car.

Talking about the rims... Another brand that makes rims that look just like them are HRE P101 but they wont cost less


They are the ones I would get if money were not a concern lol.

All that money to make a car look like ass.

You'd think if you had that much money to spend on rims that you'd have some money for brakes too.

I want PUR rims so bad.

Always interesting to see these body kits and wheel combos..
Not a fan of rivets or that tacked on mega plastic look..
I am a big fan of the stock wheel and tire sized used on these cars.. Why
Muck it up with big heavy wheels and fat tires? I guess if you're more
into the looks... Or making it unique..

I don't know the weight of the pur wheels but I doubt it's that much more then stock considering design.

this is how you do it right. the rivets make it look like the mid-90s duct tape mods.

At their price point I would hope they would be made to be lightweight.
That doesn't mean the tire and wheel combo is lighter than stock..

As long as that particular wing is on the car, I still don't think it was "done right". That wing looks ridiculous on an FR-S. But hey, when you are taking corners at 150mph pulling into the McDonalds drive-thru, I am sure it adds stability.

Wheel/tire weight is unsprung weight.. You can't make up for it elsewhere.
It allows the tire/wheel to recover quickly over bumps.. and easier to build momentum from a stop.
Fat wheels and tires are great for big power and high limits.. But make the car feel heavy and dull during normal use..
So it's wasted on a car like this and would ruin the feel and nimbleness.
Came from the corvette world where fat tires are the norm.. Necessary for big power and high grip limits.. But lousy feeling in everyday use.. Road trammel and all..
Much prefer my FRS feel and light grip in the real world.. Fat tires are Fine for show.. If that's what you're into..

With the rivets and gaps filled in, it at least has a bit of "nicely done" about it. Then you get to that clown-car wing. The "flatbill" of car wings.
