Where to buy discountinued rims??

[talonation777]

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knew a place that carries discontinued Rays Engineering wheels?

I'm looking for another pair of Gram Lights (57c) in Bronze.

If anyone has any suggestions, or knows of a local vendor in their neighborhood, please post the information, or PM me directly.

Thanks!

PS. Sorry mods if this in the wrong section...

You kno this is the newbie section right? you can try tirerack, wheelsnext, and search on google. There are many sites with rims for good prices.

Tirerack shows some 57f, in Bronze 17" available. Of course they're more expensive, but they're the same wheel.

Yeah I realize this is the newbie forum....

Wheelsnext doesn't even carry Gram Lights, and TireRack doesn't carry the size I need.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

I found my Volks by looking at a Rays distributor list and calling shops near me. Chances are if the shop is reputable and is actually a dealer for Mackin/Rays then they can try to track down wheels for you, even if they don't have them. Check this list out Gram Lights Distributors

im about to grab some cheap rims off somebody...bad thing: 205/40/17...Do you think the tire width would be too small for my car? (i could always get some bigger rubber no?)

Yeah, I realize that. I was looking to get a response asap considering I need to find a pair so I can get my car on the road.

The fact is, a lot more people lurk the newbie sub forum than any other sub forum; i.e Handling Tech

Mods feel free to move....

That is a bit small in comparison to stock tires...

Stock AWD tires are a 205/55R16 I believe. A 205/40R17 tire has a smaller overall diameter.

I'm assuming the rims are 17X7's? If so, then running 225/45R17 tires will look a lot better, and will keep the overall diamter close to factory specs so it won't throw off your speedo too much.
