Preview: G-Games 99B by Rays Wheels

I was so suprised how light these wheels were. I didnt get a chance to weigh them but i held them and then my stock wheels... the difference was amazing.

Silver Finish
(F) - 19 X 8.5 +40mm
(R) - 19 X 9.5 +40mm

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.

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.

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.
