The pic is down, sorry. I wouldn't get GT-P's though...I just never really liked them, so obviously between the two, my vote goes to the 57c (or 57f...dunno if you're going forged).

thoes sizes arent listed on the page i checked, when i got my buddy club seat i ordered the bracket from here, best price i could find, i would suggest emailing them about the wheels. http://www.aj-racing.com/BC-wheels.html

they look pretty good, but the main reason i want thoes wheels is the specs :cool:

get "what works better".

The gt-p's are forged, and wider, right?

the gramlights are cast, narrower and not as sexy.. imo...

..but then there's always the issue with money... if you're going for bang for the buck, i say go with the gramlights.. :)

Oh. For some reason I thought gramlights were the volks-on-a-budget wheel and cast among other things.

If i had to choose, I would go with the GT-Ps... however...

Work Meister S1 is in my opinion the nicest looking wheel for an s14.

Where did you see P1 Qf's for $360?

Anyway, I used to have P1 Qf's on my WRX. They were 17x7.5" and they weighed 12.2lbs. :)
