Question Gram Lights 57Maximum

I'm in the market for some new wheels for my 07 WRB. I was looking at getting the Gram Lights 57Maximums. When i googled these all the sites state "gunblue" for the color; however on tirerack they say "light grey". Does anyone have these, or have pics of them? Also, would I have any problems putting my stock RE070s on them? And finally, If i wanted to get the Gram Light 57F's would I be able to put the RE070s on those? Thanks.

we need to know what sizes you're talking about.

I've got a set of 57Maximums but they are white.

You can get the 57f's on here for ~$1200 but in an 18x8.5 so you wouldnt be able to use your 070s

17x8

I see the 57F's come in 17x8.5 - Will the stock RE070's fit on those?

What we have is called light grey.

Seeing the sheet that I have of products, there is only light grey and white.



Here at The Tire Rack:
Prices:
17"x8" - $328
18"x8.5" - $368

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Well, I just looked at the sheets. . .

We sell the white and light grey (aka Gun Blue). However, I don't have it on records that we sell shining silver.

Also, the picture I posted was the picture that we took in our photo room. And the picture T3h_Clap posted was from Rays. But see, they are the same wheel, but the lighting and camera can play some tricks on you.

However, as for the name change, people call my wheels silver, but they are really satin silver. . . So, I guess it's really based upon the persons choice of words.

I hope that helped.

you can order a custom color from Rays other than the standard color.

the RE30 doesn't come "standard" as silver, Bronze is the only standard color, and the TE37 only comes in Bronze or White "standard"

and Tire Rack has neither, which leads me to believe they ordered custom colors.

Well, I went out and grabbed a wheel after I got off the phone. . .

In certain lights, it has a faint blue color.

But as for "custom colors", I'm unsure about that. I don't place the orders, so I'm unaware of the "standard" colors. I'm just the guy that calls and says "Hey, when are we going to have this by?"

Thanks guys. Back to my stupid newbie question; does the width of the wheel matter? Like if i wanted to stick my re070s on a 17x7.5 - 17x8 - or 17x8.5 - or do i need to stick with 17x8?
