Beautiful. One of the sweetest wheels I've seen.

Looks nice man! First car to truly impress me in here, nice stance and the first set of good fitting wheels I have seen,lol.

So when are you going to race the thing? Legitimately.

yarisugi · 03-22-2010, 11:01 PM

^in Hawaii, maybe only SCCA Solo.
This island doesn't have any facilities - not even a track any more.

well i'm not into autocrossing, and we don't have a drag strip or track............so I have no idea! And the local tuner that everyone raves about is too busy to tune my car. So that is why i ended up buying these wheels for show, and not so much go. I want to hold onto the SSRs to use if I ever do get to tune my car, and use those wheels to "race." Reason for that is because they are lighter (duh). However, the gram lights aren't TOO heavy, and if I got good power from a tune, I wouldn't mind keep the gram lights. However, I wish i could decide if i want to just keep the gram lights forever, then I could get a rotora big brake kit. Once I do that, i wouldn't be able to fit the 16" SSRs anymore, because as you might know, BBK need 17" wheels or bigger.

I had a set of Gram Lights before; my only problem with them is that the name gives you a false expectation that they will be super lightweight. It is a bit unfair to compare them with wheels like SSR and VOLK, though.

If you got extra money burning a hole in your pocket, come to Kauai and race with me. I live right down the street from the dragstrip.

Funny that Kauai has a dragstrip or track and Oahu doesn't. I've been to a few of the islands but I've never thought about this; is it easy to take a car from one island to another, like on inter-island ferries or something?

We use to have a "Super Ferry," but it got shut down because of whale protests, I think? That was the easiest way to ship your car over for cheap. Now you have to do it through Matson and stuff like that. I have no idea how much it costs to do it. I believe when the Super Ferry was active, it was less than $100 to do it. Now with Matson, it might be over $200...?

Nice car.

i was able to bring my yaris to maui on our family vacation when the super ferry was up and running. Didn't break our bank and it was really convenient
