look exactly like gram light 57F to me. If so, 18x8.5 is suppose to weigh 17.8 lbs.

I love that wheel design. It might look smaller than others but there is no doubt it looks lighter and more agile. Reminds me of the Enkei RS-5 but your's look a little more substantial as the spoke cuts back into the rim making them look a little more aggressive. I like how the edges of the spokes are cut at hard angles which also add to the aggression unlike the stock FD wheels pictured above.

it does the design of gram light 57F, but it's just lighter....that's all...i think it's designed little bit better.

it looks exactly the same as the gram light 57f. I bet it's the same rim but with an axis sticker. Mine came with nismo stickers, that doesn't make it something other than a 57f rim.

Yours even has the rays eng. stamp and other misc text identical to mine.

yeah, it is. I can lift it with one hand and wave it around without issue.

I've been using 17.8 lbs as the weight, but I never did weight it myself, so I can't be sure.
