Anyone know the weight of the Gram Light 57S?
Saw that these wheels were going to be available shortly for the Mini, and was curious as to what their weight might be. I know they aren't forged like most Rays Engineering products, but it would be nice to step down in weight significantly from the S-lites. I should have my cooper S within 2-3 weeks and am looking forward to picking up a set of wheels shortly thereafter. :smile: Tirerack care to comment on this? Thanks!

Alex will know but 17 pounds seems about right for 17x7.5" rims (+40mm offset) $255 each- good price! Estimated availability 5/21/05
There are also 16x7 rims in the same model.

Thanks Alex.
Yeah, the wheels look like they will be hot on a Mini, and I will likely have them ordered before they are available. :smile:
As far as the wheel weights that you guys are guessing, I would tend to agree. But it would be nice to know for sure. No doubt they won't be grossly heavy being that they are a Rays product, but we shall see.

I got my Gram Lights yesterday. Jerry @ Tirerack (Who works the account for my company) was very helpful in keeping me updated as I had ordered the wheels 2 months ago, and as soon as they hit the Nevada warehouse they were on their way to me.
I ordered them with tires, so I don't know the weight of the wheel itself, but I weighed the whole assembly on a postal scale before putting them on and then weighed the stock wheel/tire combo.
Total difference per corner: 9 pounds
Stock 17" S-lites and performance runflats: 48.5 - 49 pounds.
Gram Light 57S's with205/45-17 BFG KDW2's: 40 pounds
A nice weight reduction.
