Nice choice in rims. I was looking at g games prior to getting my hiros.

Ajax 12-22-2005 07:31 PM

nice wheels man.. i wish i could buy some right about now

BigOLundh 12-22-2005 08:00 PM

Oh, i forgot to mention...
They take TPMS. The TPMS from my old wheels are in these now, and theres no problems.

Wow those wheels are freaking sweet.

BigOLundh 12-22-2005 10:52 PM

Thanks!

I'll take pics of them on the car once "Project Bling", which is the 3rd and final phase of this cars modification history, is completed. Almost there... almost. I can't wait for the final items to come in... Giggidy Giggidy Giggidy.

Very nice. I'll be waiting for installed pics.

This video was the final reason that convince me to buy them. Rays are pricey rims but after seeing the amount of percision and care put into each wheel... i was floored. Worth every penny in my opinion. Its no wonder why many Japanese Motor Companies use Rays Wheels in their high performance lines (Nismo, Mazdaspeed, Ralliart, etc...)

These wheels are cast using the new "Rays Cast Flow Forming" method. Its explained near the end of the video.

BigOLundh 12-23-2005 05:59 PM

I run a staggered setup myself.

Thanks for the tire sizes

Whitehot 12-23-2005 07:54 PM

Nice I know what I'm getting. Your about to have a evel lill bro!

MazdaManiac 12-28-2005 07:46 PM

These are built like my G-Games Wolf-77s.
The hoop is forged and the hub is cast using the special Ray's process.

They are hard as rock and very light. My 19" rims are several pounds lighter than the stock 18" rims.

Actually, the G-Games line uses 3 different casting methods, and within the 77 series.. there are 2 different ones.

But yeah... good to hear urs are holding up strong. Strenght of the wheel is ulta important. I saw too many cracked Axis Hiro wheels while i was waiting on mine. Very glad i got these instead.
