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?

Yeah, RPF1's are your best bet if you want an affordable wheel.
Anything else that is lightweight and nice looking is definitely not affordable. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

My problem with RPF1's is that EVERYBODY has them.
And the superleggeras and ultraleggeras are nice, but I think their look and style is a bit dated. Now, define "affordable", because you can pick up a lower-end set of Fikse wheels for around $4,000. Those are definitely nice looking and lightweight, and 4K for a set of Fikse's is much better than 4K gram lights. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

I don't think people look at that fact Dan, nor do I think some people care. I know my Celica is worth near $3,500, but is that going to deter me from buying expensive wheels and suspension, and other mods that will total up above that? No.
I suppose my problem is only with the people who put $4,000 wheels on their $2,000 car, and say it's worth $6,000. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

Plus if I am spending $4K on wheels before spending comparable amounts of money on my suspension; people are going to correctly call me out as being an idiot
