Volk Racing TE37SL vs Gram Lights 57DR: Wheel Comparison

A 6 spoke wheel, made in Japan, made by the same company. So why is one of them almost double the cost?

This comparison goes over the Volk Racing TE37 and the Gram Lights 57DR. What the differences are, and what one might work best for you and your car.

At first it might seem weird that a company would make a copy of their own wheel and call it something completely different. But it actually makes a lot of sense.

The TE37 is iconic. It's a legendary wheel. However, it's tough to swallow the $4,000+ price tag of a set of these. So what's the next best thing? How about a similar design wheel that still follows the same standards, is made by the same company, still looks killer, and gives you that "Real Wheel" status. Insert the Gram Lights 57DR.

Both the TE37 and 57DR are incredible wheels in their own way and do their own job perfectly. If you want to ball out with a set of TE37s, by all means go ahead and do it. Want something a little more suited for daily driving and won't cause you to have a mental breakdown if you get some rash on the lip? Maybe the 57DR is more your speed. Either way, you won't be disappointed.
