Gram Lights 57Pro

Hello everyone. I was wondering if Gram Lights 57Pro wheels are TPMS compatible? If not, how do I find out if a certain wheel is TPMS compatible? Here's a pic. My RX-8 is titanium gray, and I think the gold 5-spoke design looks pretty sweet. Tell me what you think...

I love those rims! I think it would look good. How much do those run in price?

love the wheels, I am sure they would look awesome on the 8. Why dont you try and photoshop the gold ones onto your ti and see what it looks like?

Yeah I've been obsessing over these wheels since, um, whenever. I believe they run about $800+ a piece. So, basically I have to sell an arm and a leg, and my good kidney, to get my hands on these. And I need tires . Trust me guys. Gold looks awesome on Ti RX-8s. Has anyone seen the one FEED owns? Here's a pic. The FEED car is on Advan TCII's methinks.

shelleys_man,

Looking at the valve stem opening on that wheel it looks like the TPMS should work fine unless they did something really weird on the inside.

I don't know about the gold on TI either. That is probably the worst color car for them (other than nordic green or maybe blue) but it should still work.

As far as I'm concerned, Gram Lights are still available.

I thought Ro_Ja took over a few Gram Light wheels?

Well to be technical, Rays Engineering makes Gram Lights...

Researched and Rays is actually making a wheel for Ro_Ja called the R2-5 which looks similar to the GL's...i was mistaken in saying that Ro_Ja took over the GL's.

What do you mean by technical? Don't you mean PC?

Hmm I guess bad word choice/placement...how about:

"Volk Racing does not make Gram Light wheels, Rays Engineering makes Gram Lights wheels."

better? and I don't think PC would really apply

Sweet. Thank you WTF no turbo . What was the issue about getting 18 x 10 with the 38 mm offset for the rear?

With a 275 it was out maybe a 3/8s of an inch.9.5 44 offset about as aggressive as u want to go.10s will need 50 at least i would think.That 18x10 38 offset is a great fit for my 7 though
