what sizes and offsets, thats the deal breaker for me. if its te37's 9-10 inches wide with a low offset im in on those, if your running 8 or 9 wide with a generic +30ish offset, i say the 57 pro's.

maybe $1,300 for the gram lights

those volks are well over $2,000 list, i bet theyd be $1,800 - $2,000 for you, even with a large discount

if youre going to pay though get TE's in good sizes

Red and Bronze is a classic combination but that is precisely the reason why I would try the Gram Light in silver on a red car. I think it would look clean, as long as you can keep that silver blinging.

I was going to ask, s13 or 14, but it doesn't really matter, I'm not a big fan of Silver on a Red car. Volks.

silver on red looks fine, red is a hard color to match wheels too...bronze doesnt look perfect either

rays are dreamy but outplayed. I say 17x9 +20ish offset CR Kai in gun metal or white, just not gaudy silver. They will run you 1300ish, the te37s will be the upwards of 2k as already mentioned. Dont expect the volks to show up any time soon either.

lol adrian ive stared at that picture for long periods of time before...i want those so bad

however i will say this, SP1's only look good polished like that, whereas work meisters (much more popular counterparts) look good with any colored center

dont ask me why, ive just noticed that every time i see a set of SP1's with some sort of colored centers
