Looks good

Feel any difference in weight savings? I assume those wheels probably weight ~20lbs/ea

Don't like it

Color looks to be very very very close.

Looks better than I thought it would.

I'd get them powdercoated a darker blue though if they were mine.

Does look very close to body colour, hence they blend in a bit too much!

Love the design of those wheels though.

Really works on the F.

Looks exceptional as far as the workmanship. I would have coated them in dark bronze or something in that nature to contrast the USB, but that's just me.

Looks really nice.

Are the 57S Pro Gram Lights cast wheels or are they the forged ones?

^^^^From the web site:

RAYS Gram Lights 57S-Pro wheels

These wheels are produced in Japan at the Rays Wheels factory. RAYS ingenious casting technology is used on this wheel, allowing it to be as strong and lightweight as possible. A two piece design is used. This wheel conforms to the JWL Japanese safety standards, plus RAYS engineering strict in house quality control tests. Powder coating and clear coating is done by a special proprietary process to ensure long lasting quality and durability. A stainless steel jacket is used on the lip and edge of the rim, for an excellent hard wearing finish.

Thanks guys. 235/35 up front...265/30 in back. I'm running 20 mm spacers up front. Might downsize to 15 mm ones and run 245/35 and 275/30's next time....
