Imagine my shock and surprise to find Gramlights going for $4k a set with rubber on The Ebays... can anyone think of some low cost, low weight rims that will look good on our cars?

type r vs celica.... trying to reduce as much weight as possible.
$2,200 on rims and tires is alot but not even close to $4,000. the rota wheels will fit our car but most of them have really high offset and all of them come in 17" rims. yes they do look better than OZ racing. these are the rims i will probably get in the future. SSR Type F 16x7 with +38 offset and weigh only 11.6 pounds. talk about light and offset is at factory specs. maybe add a 5 mm spacer on the back tires are your set. I also think they come in white if you buy them from nengun performance. also lighter than rpf1 and look slightly better wouldnt you say... ![]() -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts
