If you're into drifting or just want a wheel that can handle the heat, let me tell you about the GramLights 57XR. This isn't just another pretty face in the lineup; it's the latest addition to the "R" series, joining the ranks of the 57CR and 57DR that have already proven themselves in D1GP and Formula Drift. The 57XR has a unique look thanks to its 2x6 slender spokes that not only give it a sleek profile but also add a bit of flair with an embossed logo that really stands out.

What’s cool is how the spokes extend over the rim flange, creating a solid three-dimensional effect. It’s not just for looks; it adds strength and reduces the risk of the flange peeling off during those intense drift sessions. Plus, there’s a knurling finish on the bead seat, which helps keep your tires in check when you're pushing for maximum grip. This means less chance of slippage and better tire balance when you’re really laying down the power.

For those of you running 18-inch wheels, the 9.5J and 10.5J sizes come with the EH2+ hump design. This feature is a game-changer for drifting since it minimizes the risk of bead drop when you're running lower tire pressures to get that extra traction. It’s all about keeping you on the track and in control.

Features:
  • Embossed Machining: The logo on the spokes is carved before painting, giving it a unique embossed look that you won’t find on standard cast wheels.
  • Rim Flange/Spoke Design: The spokes stretch to the edge of the thick rim flange for added strength and that long-legged aesthetic.
  • Knurling: Helps reduce misalignment between the wheel and tire, keeping traction loss to a minimum.
  • EH2 + Hump: Designed to prevent bead drop, especially when you're running lower pressures in drifting competitions.

Gram Lights from Rays Engineering

Rays Wheels of Japan is world-renowned for both motorsport and street applications. While Rays may be widely recognized for its iconic forged wheels like the Volk Racing TE37, the brand has also been pushing the limits and taking cast wheel production to new heights.

Gram Lights debuted in 2001; and while Volk Racing is all about performance, Gram Lights allows Rays to follow trends more closely and push design elements cutting-edge production methods and colorful finishes. When many hear the name Gram Lights, they think of slammed JDM cars from the ‘90s riding on sporty colorful wheel designs. Rays has patents for new processes for machining and painting to differentiate its wheels from the competition, while also making it incredibly difficult for others to copy its creations.

Gram Lights is Different

The Gram Lights sports brand pushes the casting process to its limits to provide unbeatable designs and performance for the ultimate balance between form and function. Gram Lights wheels offer purpose, style, and performance for street and racing applications. Its lineup of lightweight wheels boasts stunning cast one-piece, cast two-piece, and forged one-piece designs with optional center caps. Gram Lights has something for every enthusiast and satisfies drivers with a passion for sports that dare to be different with unique designs and finishes.

The number 57 can be found on every wheel in the Gram Lights lineup and is a nod back to the 1970s when Rays first became involved in motorsports. Rays’ cars were always adorned with the number 57.
