Not knocking the Gram Light 57 Pros, but they're just simple 5-spoke wheels? What's the attraction? Perhaps it's the deep dish rim lip? I dunno...

Looks like a bit too much front wheel for the car are they 18" 's? .. furthers my determination to get 17"s up front & 18"s in the rear.

btw, IMHConservativeO gold & silver don't work - Ever.

Looks nice...very clean and simple design. They make you focus on the cars simple and clean lines. Nicely done. I agree with the above comment about color schemes, but gold and silver can be done together.

Yup, I think the simple 5 spoke is one of the nicest on our cars... I think the perfect wheel would be the SSR integral IF it were available in wider than 9" sizes and were maybe a pound or two lighter.

Oh yeah, and painted carbon-silver like BMW M wheels.

I have SSR Integral A2s in 9 x 17 with 255/40-17 AVS Intermediates all around. Weight is 45 lbs each with wheel-and-tire. Pretty near-perfect fitment, although I would like 9.5 wide with 255/40-17. I'm sure the performance advantage with 1/2-inch wider is neglibly better?

I run 275 rears, and wouldn't really want to go smaller. 9.5 or even 10" would really be better for that size. I'd run 275/35/ if i had 18" as well. The 1/2 to 1" would really help.

I think you can choose your offset. Anywhere between +52 to -6 in a 10" wide wheel. That'll be handy. Plus I think they're nearly as light as the TE37. and cheaper.

The ideal widths are 9s in either 17 or 18 diameters. Only available offset is 40-mm that will fit our bolt-pattern of 5 on 114.3.

What does this bit about '18" Free Offset' at the bottom mean then

The only thing I can think of is that they are saying they will do a custom offset in that range for free- no additional charge.
