Gram Lights on Tire Rack?

I am interested in buying another set of Advan's and putting them on a set of Gram Light 57s (Silver or gunsilver). After much reading, I have found that buying direct from Gram Light, i can get the wheels for about $230 a wheel, but then i would need to order the tires seperately, and then mount and balance them myself.

I just found that Tire Rack sells the Gram Light 57s, but they do not price them, or even show them as an available option for the EVO.

Does anyone know of the pricing on Tire Rack? Is it even close to buying direct?

Because if I can just have them mounted and balanced before they are sent, it would save me a whole lot of headache.

I've ran into the same thing. They don't show the Gramlight for the Evo but they do have them for other cars. They also don't show the 57s available in Gold, but I do know that it is.

Don't know what the deal is.

Slightly OT, but it's a shame Tirerack doesn't sell the Azenis. I'm sure they'd get so many more sales from the enthusiast base.

When I was just on it, I found them in gold, but I couldn't add them to my cart, add tires or anything.

I even went so far as to try to look for oversized options for the car, but again... nothing.

I mean... If I'm going to drop that kind of money, I'd rather do it all in one place, less hassle, less people to go through. Let's just hope that Neal reads this, maybe I'm not the only one with this concern.

E-Wheelz apparently has a package for 57c or 57s with Kumho Ecsta 235/45R17 for 1550. Plus free shipping. Definitely worth looking into.

We just took them onboard so all of our fitment and stock data isn't online just yet. I emailed my fit guys and asked them to get a move on

I like the gram lites, but I don't find them in the right widths. I got Enkei NT03+M's 17x9.5's all around on Kumho Ectsa V710's. Work great so far for autocross, but the rim and tire combo is heavy as hell. Looking into the Gram Lights for weight savings. Saw they sell the 17x9.5 for rear only???? I wonder if the offest is different if I put them on the front too? Neal?
