Rays 57F Time Attack vs Finalspeed A-Tech replica
The local shop has a few options and I'm trying to decide between them. The first up is the Rays Gram Light 57F Time Attack black with red 18x8.5" +45 offset. Next is the Finalspeed A-tech replica by Motorsport.
The 57F's seem to be popular as seen here only with no custom bored hub. They are used and come with Bridgestone RE01R 235/40R18s supposedly 90% new. He wants $1650 CAD for the set
The A-Tech replica is more interesting. I don't know a lot of detail on them only that they were used in a Falken photoshoot and then warehoused. They look just like the real thing and come with some Falken summer tires (I forget the exact part number). He wants $1400 So my questions to all you experts are: Which do you like better? Are the 57Fs $250 better?

i have 57f in timeattack in that exact spec, i paid 1300 USD for them new, so far they've been very good, plenty strong for pot holes in the street and very light weight compared to most other wheels.
Im planning on getting some new wheels for street soon since my 57s are chipped to hell from track, and keeping the gramlights for trackday use only
if i were you i'd get the gramlights,
edit: just noticed it comes with re01r's these are also the exact same tires i have, great tires, they were top of the line bridgestones before being replaced by the re-11s, far better than re-40s that came with the car and probably better than anything you can get for that price nowadays.
