Gram Lights 57s-pro look the best IMO.

Enkei too much gap, too narrow spokes
Thurxton has those fake screw things around edge, I don't like those

In the end, get what you want. Wheels are a big purchase and you must be happy with it.

I like the Grams to. It's just freakin hard to pick out wheels.

Gram Lights > *


I have 3 sets of wheels, (1 stock) and am actually thinking of getting another set (Z33 Track Edition) in the very near future. So hell, it IS hard to decide. I still haven't Also contemplating the 57S Pros too.

Is there a big weight and price difference between those and the Grams? On looks alone - Thruxton.

The Grams i can get fo $1800 for the 17's and that wheels and tires
i can get them in 18's for about $2200 wheels and tires.
And the TSW are about the same give or take a buck or two
As far as weight the Grams are 17lbs adn the TSW are about 21lbs.

I think the 17 inch Grams will be the best.

Photoshop them onto your car too, don't let the .org decide for you, decide for yourself.

Lighter weight will suit the 4AT A32 well

Gram Lights FTW. The Thruxtons have too big of a lip. The third ones look cheesy.

The five-spokes would look good in gun metal instead of the chrome finish

you should have made this a poll question, because based on what i've seen so far, the Thruxton wins hands down... you have the final say however

I think the Gram Lights would look best, the Thruxton's lip is TOO big imho, when you see cars with wheels whose lip is too
big it almost looks like they have whitewalls sometimes.

They all look good. I have never been a TSW wheel fan except for the old Trophy's. My brother had VX1s on his Bimmer and I hated them. I wonder if TSW still stands for Too Soft Wheels like it did back in the day.
