Name that size!

Can anybody tell me what size these Gram Lights are? They look like 17x9 (the concave face in the second pic tells me the width is pretty wide), but I can't be sure.

I found it while searching for pics of Gram Lights on RX8s.

That rear end is pretty tight, I love the integrated diffuser blades by the tow hook. My best guess would be the stock appearance package + what looks to be the Kenstyle center blades?

As far as the rims go, my first thought was that they looked kind of small under the wells but now I'm thinking it just might be that mad fender gap in front (rear looks alright).

They are 57 Maximums, my guess would be what tilt said, 17x9, I have no clue on the offset. I wish my Maximums looked that aggressive!!

I think your 57s look gangsta, perfect for the Ti color too! The 18x8.5s are actually what I'm considering for my 8. The 17x9s are nice, but that massive fender gap really bugs me...

Haha thanks man! I really do like them, very lightweight and they do look good.

The fender gap on the white 8 is pretty bad- good coilovers should remedy that tho.
