    Every manufacturer steals designs, 'legit' or not. I will buy reps without hesitation until I can afford 'real' wheels.

    Believe me, I understand balling on a budget but I strongly support wheel manufactures original designs and strong quality, and integrity.
    "Legit" wheels crack too…

    *coughcough*HRE*coughcough*

    I refuse to spend 2000+ on "Legit" wheels. That money could easily go elsewhere… Like towards go fast mods.... Or hookers and coke.



    Preferably towards hookers and coke hahahahahaha

    Time has come

    Ray's Gram Lights 57d
    Fronts: 17x9+12 PCD 114.3 with Nitto NT05 235/40
    Rears: 18x9.5+12 PCD 114.3 with Falken Azenis 615k 245/40

    I would rate them 9/10. There are no curb marks or anything on the faces. One of the 17s and one of the 18s has scratches on the center bore from balancing. Other wise they are mint. Tires only have 1000mi of street use on them. Conservatively 80% tread remaining even across the entire tire. The original blue valve stems are installed and come with the original blue gram lights stickers non applied.

    Price: $1800 w/tires OBO

    It gets bigger when you click. Not bad though. Kind of an 80's looking wheel, so it fits. Not sure about the 18s though, I feel like those are too big for a Z personally. I'd go with a 16 or 17.
    Prius… because Pretentious wouldn't fit across the back of the car…

    Cheap, Fast, Reliable - pick any two

    +1, I prefer zenki to have 17 or smaller.

    And tires get more expensive as you move up in diameter.

    ^ Also agree.

    Adam, good luck with those Gramlights. They looked amazing on your car, imo!

    What's the reason for the double stagger? Not bashing, I just never understood why people did it.

    With adjustable suspension any setup is plausible. I wanted the 9 wides in fronts because that seems to be the ideal fitment with numerous width of tires in a z31. I have full range of everything with my setup, no rubbing, no alignment issues and still maintain a low stance. I wanted wider 18s in the rear to fill the wheel arch and maintain the natural rake the z31s have while keeping zero wheel gap.

    I loved this setup but wanted a fresher look. With the 18x9.5s I have now in the front I needed to pull my fenders, run more camber and narrower tires to maintain full functionality. Compromises the previous setup didnt need.

    Overall the gram lights look awesome and those sizes are pretty z31 conservative in what can be ran. Win win for any prospective buyer. The have over $700 of tires on them.

    Ah, makes sense. Thanks!

    Side note: I have been seeing some cheappp CCW classic reps that look pretty dope. Varrstoen V3 has 16x9 +25 for pretty cheap. Would be pretty cool on a zenki.
