If you’re into drifting or just want a solid wheel for your ride, let me tell you about the GramLights 57XR. This wheel is the latest addition to the “R” series, and it’s got some serious pedigree. It’s been out there in the trenches—think D1GP and FORMULA DRIFT. You know it’s been tested by the best and built to handle the heat.
The design is where it really shines. With its 2x6 slender spokes, the 57XR isn’t just about looks; it’s about performance too. The machining logo on the spokes is embossed, giving it a unique touch that stands out without screaming for attention. Plus, the way the spokes extend over the rim flange adds a bit of depth to the design, making it look both strong and sleek.
Now, let’s talk about the practical stuff. This wheel features knurling on the bead seat, which is a game changer for anyone who’s pushing their tires hard. It helps keep the tire in place, minimizing slippage when you’re laying down some serious grip. And for those of you who like to run lower tire pressures for drifting, the EH2+ Hump on the 18x9.5J and 10.5J sizes is a lifesaver. It reduces the risk of bead drop—something every drifter dreads. You want your tires to stay put, and this design helps make that happen.
Here are some specs to chew on:
- Construction Method: One-piece casting
- Safety Standard: JWL + R Spec 1
- Color: Dark Bronze (Z2)
- Size: 18x8.5
- PCD: 5x108
- Offset: 45
- Bore: 63.4
- Face: Face-1
Just a heads up: the center caps are sold separately, and each wheel is priced individually, so plan accordingly.
In short, if you’re looking for a wheel that combines style and functionality, the GramLights 57XR is worth considering. It’s built for performance and designed to turn heads.
