Rays Gram Lights 57XTREME

[RYU]

I was shopping around for wheels for the BRZ and noticed these. Anyone tried these yet? Looks like they have decent NSX 17/18/19 fitment unless i'm missing something. The concave depressions in the spokes look interesting.

Looks BBK friendly

They look pretty good, except at certain angles it looks like they have Band-Aids all over the spokes...I think they'd look better just 1 color (don't highlight the weight reduction spots).

Pix of the brz please. I'm so jealous.

At first sight I had the impression the wheels have holes for weight savings. Pretty cool wheel. Forged monoblock? Weight?

From what I've read, they are Cast. Whether they are Flow Formed, I don't know..

Saw these a couple months ago, I really like em!

SoS has a little banner ad for them too.

Only been able to find 3 pics of these on a n NSX... the Rays demo car - any one able to find other pics than the red NSX with these on it?

Looks good to me, considering pulling the trigger!

Those "scallops" on the spokes - called the "SP Spec" are an extra cost option. You can find photos of the wheels with out this here:

These wheels are literally brand new - the first three sets made in NSX offsets are being delivered to us in about 4 weeks (we have these available for sale if anyone is interested).

cheers,

I really want to pick a set of these up, however I'm unable to confirm fitment. I've seen two different setups (both on the same RAYS car mind you) and I would prefer the more aggressive setup.

Here's the less aggressive fitment (standard NSX spec I'm assuming)

And here's the same car with a more aggressive, and SP-option, setup. The rear appears especially more aggressive considering how much lower the car is with this set, and how flush the rear appears despite the usual inward camber that comes with the extra drop in height.

Anyone able to provide guidance on what the sizing in the second pic is so I can be a guinea pig and maybe crack the piggy bank?

The second photo (the one shown above) is a more aggressive 19x10.5+43 (the front is the same 18x7.5+40). Not sure if you're aware, we have a sale on these wheels ongoing now. We can supply the more aggressive rear if you'd like:

Thanks for clarifying Chris, you have email

18/19 is a bit much I think. Did these ever show up in 17/18 with NSX fitment?

Looks like 17/18 is available in 114.3:

Two different offsets, even... any reason SoS does not sell this combo?

 

[synth19]

I'd like to see these in person, but those indentations in the spokes are already a turn-off for me.

You can order them slightly heavier without the SP option.

Anyone see an issue with these sizes and offsets?

Interesting how stretched that rear tire looks, I mean for a manufacturers' display vehicle.

A sign of the times?

My own opinion - I would be tempted to re-machine the spokes to get rid of the sharp angle...
