wow...i never realized how good gram lights really look! are they lighter than the TE-37's?
the gram lights weigh more, they are still a cast wheel, the te37's are forged, lighter and also why you cough up a pretty penny for a set

Yep, the smaller wheels are pretty inexpensive. The ones I got only come in 17-19's.

$275/wheel (while pretty good price for a volk te37) is pretty expensive for a 15" diameter wheel wouldnt you say? good-win-racing had a deal on the new enkei rp-f1 (sp?)they weigh about 9.7lbs (verified on an electronic postal scale) and were going for $200/wheel in 15X7 size

Last night as I was about to dry my car, the water started to turn to ice. I had to keep my car running to melt the ice that formed on the rear end. It was dark by the time I was finished. I took pics of it in the garage, but w/ both of our cars inside, I couldn't get at the right angle to take a good picture. I'll take a pic as soon as I get home; as long as there is still light outside and it's not snowing yet.
