RAYS TE37SL similar?

So I am looking to start getting some parts to my brz finally and starting with wheels and tires.

Already set on michellin super sports, seems good enough.

Wheels the Rays seem like a solid choice. Personally, I just love the spoke decal and have not really seen other wheels with that but I guess maybe there are?

Only problem..I am showing each wheel as like $800 which is insane.
I checked out the main wheels thread with hundreds and is overwhelming since I am a noob.

Anyone have advice or opinions on a solid black wheel like the one in this thread title that would look decent on my stock black brz :P

How about Rays Gram Lights 57DR? Rays owns both Volk (more expensive) and Gram Lights (more affordable). They're roughly half the price.

My brother has had a set of Varstoen ES2's on his 350z for a couple years now. They've held up well for a fraction of the cost.

Hmmm I am looking for black not hyper red. Thanks for the post though. That was almost perfectly what I wanted and would have been crazy.

This looks pretty good too thanks for the post!
Another problem is trying to actually find where to buy these things in the USA!

There are a crap ton of vendors for both Gramlight and Volk. Mackin Industries is the US distributor for both (since they are both Rays wheels after all) but there are also a ton of authorized sellers.
