The Altima SE-R wheels are def desirable so you can get a goof price for them. I just wouldn't sell them for that much. Lower the price and you'll be able to unload them easily IMO.

The majority of gram lights are cast, just like Enkei and Advan. I don't get why they're so overpriced. IMHO Volk's, Nismo's, and SSR's (non-OEM) are the best buy for that price range ($2k); SSR being the cheapest forged and still from Japan.

That being said, if you're getting a set for $500 then definitely get them cause that's one heck of a deal new.

RAYS(Volk, Gram lights, 57 MS) raised there price recently due to poor exchange rates. As many other Japanese companies did too. Even with the higher prices, they are not overpriced. You must pay to play

You got me wrong. I ain't complaining about the price per se. I'm simply comparing Rays' own different tags amongst themselves. I would much rather buy Volk's because their CE28N is very light and forged and is not that much more expensive. To get Gram Lights' pricing and cast wheels, I'd rather go with Enkei which are just as light and cheaper albeit not as good-looking.

Also... I ain't BALLER like ju!

Volks are either forged monoblock or 2 piece(forged barrel and cast face).

Gram Lights are either forged monoblock, 1 piece cast, or 2 piece cast.

It really depends which wheel type you are comparing it too. The price can be a big difference if you are comparing a forged mono to a 1 piece cast wheel. If you compare Volks forged mono and Gram Lights forged mono the price is similar.
