new 18" CE28N (w/ photos)

Been waiting a long.... time for these wheels and I am VERY happy to finally see them on my FD. Hasn't really sunk in...that they are actually on my car! Been using the stock wheels for over 5 years.

Front- 18"x 8.5 / +40 (7.7 kg with cap) & (19.6 kg with PP/SO-3 235/40)
Rear - 18"x 9.5 / +42 (7.8 kg with cap) & (20.8 kg with PP/SO-3 265/35)

Once the weather clear up. I will take some better photos

One happy Volk owner!

The wheels look nice, but don't they make a non-univeral lug pattern that will fit the FD? I guess I've never liked the univeral lug look. But the wheels themselves are quite sharp.

Thanks everyone for all the positive feedback!

Neo-omega -
Mercury silver (special ordered). Actually, I believe you posted the first photos of the CE's on the forum?..... wasn't until the MS came out I was hooked! thanks

SleepR1 -
Hello Manny. I know you too at one time consider these wheels. You've helped me out alot with rim sizing and my H&R springs. Thanks for garage complements too. Monkey boy...haha j/k

patfat -
Can't see in the photos but my car is Montego Blue.

ptrhahn -
BBS was my second choice... really...haha. They are very common in europe. so, I wanted to be different.

7racer -
Thanks Bob. I know you wanted the CE's (we talked about it) but I think those SF-winning in metal coat are going to be stunning...call Glenn at Upgrademotoring and see what he can do for you.

RX7 Rage -
As you can see. Your first photos were very inspiring -Thanks

Artowar -
Thanks - I believe you were the first person I attacked with pm's after I heard you had the CE28n's.... that was a long time again...look forward to one day seeing them in this section.

Hagge -
Thanks Johan - If I pass the smog test on the 27th I will be in Kinnekulle...pray for me!


Drove the FD to work today and took a few more pictures.
AGAIN...... thanks guys!

For the FD, nothing adds more aesthetic appeal, like a nice set of wheels and tires





Love the garage building and bricked driveway too

They look great.., if Volk would have sold me the 10.5" version in that finish, i'd have thought about it... but i must admit, i don't even browse wheel sites anymore, i'm so satisfied w/ the RG-R's... you likely feel the same.

Just curious, is your car lowered at all? The wheels look beautiful on the car, really fill out the wheel wells nicely

Great choice!
