• Hub bore measures 72.6mm - hub-centric rings may be required for vehicles with a larger hub bore diameter.
• Center caps are NOT included and must be purchased separately.
• Backspacing: 6.52 inches | Front spacing: 2.98 inches.
• Exposed lug nut design requires aftermarket lug nuts compatible with your vehicle's thread pitch - confirm before installation.
• Sold as a single wheel. Confirm quantity at checkout if purchasing a full set.
• Special order JDM product manufactured in Japan - lead times of 3-6+ months are common. Confirm availability and ETA before ordering if time-sensitive.

Features

• Evolved directly from the original gramLIGHTS 57C, the 57CR introduces a modernized 5-spoke concave architecture carefully engineered for sports driving applications including drifting and circuit competition.
• Spoke geometry rises from the rim barrel inward toward the center, producing a natural deep concave profile that prioritizes both visual aggression and structural rigidity.
• Each rim width receives its own exclusive concave face design - the 18x8.5 configuration carries its own dedicated spoke profile proportioned specifically for its dimensions.
• Cast one-piece aluminum alloy construction meets RAYS' in-house JWL+R Spec1 standard - a proprietary certification that exceeds standard JWL compliance requirements.
• Glossy Black finish delivers a bold, high-contrast appearance with a smooth, reflective surface that complements a wide range of vehicle colors and build styles.
• Timeless 5-spoke design is intentionally trend-resistant, ensuring the 57CR remains a visually relevant choice well beyond seasonal styling shifts.
• Exposed lug nut design contributes a raw, motorsport-inspired aesthetic consistent with the 57CR's competition-driven heritage.
• RAYS and 57 logos are engraved into the spokes at two locations, serving simultaneously as a design accent and an anti-counterfeit identifier.
• Concave face geometry is optimized per rim width to provide adequate brake caliper clearance while maintaining an aggressive visual profile.
• Manufactured in Japan by Rays Engineering - one of the most respected names in global wheel production with a deep motorsport lineage.

Product Description

The Gram Lights 57CR in Glossy Black (WGCRV45DGX) is an 18x8.5 cast one-piece alloy wheel manufactured by Rays Engineering in Japan. Drawing directly from the design foundation of the gramLIGHTS 57C, the 57CR modernizes the classic 5-spoke formula with a refined concave spoke profile, updated structural geometry, and a clean aesthetic that reflects the brand's deep motorsport roots. The Glossy Black finish provides a bold, high-contrast surface that pairs with virtually any vehicle color and build direction - from subtly styled daily drivers to purpose-built track cars. At 18x8.5 with a +45mm offset and 5x100 bolt pattern, this configuration suits a broad range of compact and sport vehicles running 5x100 hubs, offering a well-balanced combination of visual depth and practical fitment.

A key distinction of the 57CR lineup is that each rim width variant carries its own exclusive concave face design, rather than applying a single generic spoke shape across all sizes. This means the 18x8.5 profile is specifically proportioned to look and perform correctly at that dimension - a level of design discipline that separates Rays Engineering products from mass-produced alternatives. The wheel is cast to RAYS' proprietary JWL+R Spec1 standard, which imposes more rigorous structural and fatigue testing than the baseline JWL certification requires. RAYS and 57 engravings on the spokes provide both a visual brand identity and a built-in anti-counterfeit safeguard present across the full 57CR range.

This wheel is sold individually and ships with one HB1 high-speed black air valve. Center caps are not included and are sold separately. The hub bore measures 72.6mm, and hub-centric rings may be required depending on your vehicle's hub diameter. As a special-order JDM product built in Japan, lead times of 3 to 6 or more months are typical - buyers should confirm stock availability and estimated delivery timelines with the seller prior to placing an order. The Gram Lights 57CR WGCRV45DGX is an excellent choice for enthusiasts who want a clean, lightweight, Japanese-built wheel with a classic 5-spoke character and the engineering credentials to back it up.
