Imagine my shock and surprise to find Gramlights going for $4k a set with rubber on The Ebays... can anyone think of some low cost, low weight rims that will look good on our cars?

the answer would be that no, there is no such thing as nice looking affordable lightweight 16x7 rims. i mean there are some out there but not the style that im looking for. Okay so im sure you guys seen the 7th gen gt-s wheels. the thing i like about them is that they are exactly 5x100 lug fitment and the bolt pattern is built into the rims. On the other hand wheels like enkei rpf1 and the ssr type f rims do not have the lug bolt pattern built into the rims. And in my opinion that makes the rims look really small.
for example my motegi ff7 look nice but not totally good becuase the lug bolt pattern is not built into the rims like the 7th gen gts wheels are. I would have to see the gold 16x7 ssr type f wheels with +38 offset in person and up close next to my car in order for me to buy them. or the 16x7 advan rcII i just wonder how light they are, i mean they arent forged they are cast... maybe i can get some custom made 16X7 white 57 optimise in with +35 offset. which would probaly cost me $4 grand, jk im only saying this becuase i cant find any good rims in nice 16" rims.
