RX7 RAGE 09-28-03 10:12 PM

Here's a pic from sevenstock guys! My car was in the volk booth. I'll get more up close ones of the rim later. The official color is "diamond black".

Lookin' good Gene.

SleepR1 09-29-03 01:30 PM

Really can't see the wheels very wheel.

ptrhahn 09-29-03 01:54 PM

adjust the gamma on your monitor. or bring the contrast down in photoshop.

QUESTION:
Is Volk doing "diamond black" now as an available finish? There might be hope for this taste-challenged wheel maker yet!

OC94Rx7 09-29-03 03:58 PM

Your car looks great sitting at the Volk booth!:D
I have been waiting to see the CE28Ns with the RE AD hood 9 combo.....perfect!

Could you tell me your offset on the 17" CE28N

Thanks,

rynberg 09-29-03 05:35 PM

Yes, please post sizes, offsets, and tire sizes. Thanks.

RX7 RAGE 09-29-03 10:17 PM

Hi guys, the size of the wheels are 17x8F and 17x9.5 in the back and offset is +38 in the front, +42 back. Tire size is 255/4017R and 225/4017F. The wheels are very light! I weighed the 9.5 one on a digital scale and it came out to 16lbs compared to the volk gtn I had which was 22lbs. This was a special order color that took almost 4 months to arrive from Japan. I'm gonna take up close pics of the wheel soon.

OC94Rx7 09-29-03 11:41 PM

Thanks :)

mr_tim 09-30-03 08:45 AM

looks good. Can't wait for more pics

jeffn 09-30-03 11:32 AM

Ha ha, I was waiting for those pics too! Never occured to me that this was the same car I took some pics of at Sevenstock... Sorry, no side views, the car and booth to either side made it tough to get a clear shot...

The links don't work jeffn. :(

jeffn 09-30-03 07:05 PM

hmm, I just checked them and they seem OK. Yahoo is kinda hit or miss sometimes though... If you want to send me a PM or something I can email them to you.

Car looks great by the way :)

how much you want for the gtn's?

RX7 RAGE 11-02-03 12:27 PM

GTN's have been sold. sorry. :)

Spud_R1 11-09-03 01:41 AM

Look sweet!

SleepR1 11-12-03 11:27 PM

Are those centercaps the only option for CE28N? I almost think the wheels look better WITHOUT those center caps?

RX7 RAGE 11-14-03 07:46 AM

Manny,

I chose to put the centercaps on because to me, it looked naked w/o them. :)

Not when you're rolling at 130 mph LOL :)

Seriously, I'm leaning toward the CE28Ns again (was going with Volk SE37K) in Titanium silver, because of the 9.5 wide x 17, 47-mm offset size. It'd be good to have the widest possible wheels (without rubbing) at all four corners with 255/40-17s. With the SE37K, the widest I can go at all four is 9 x 17, 40-mm offset. That's marginally better than what I currently have with SSR Integral A2s in 9 x 17, 45-mm offset.

The CE28N style is growing on me, although I think the SE37K mesh is still much better looking.

The centercap for CE28N is optional correct? Are there other options for centercaps, like a simple button disk, like for the SE37K?

I have a red FD like yours, but mine is with factory paint (build date April 1992).

Yes, the centercap is optional on the ce28n and you can get different looking centercaps if you so desire. I'm pretty sure the simple button disk centercap will work but contact mackin industries (RAYS) to make sure. BTW, my FD is also factory vintage red paint build date march 1994. Does it look different?

Ok, great. I prefer the simple button cap. Your paint looks great. Mine is faded out a skosh. Enjoy the setup!

ptrhahn 11-17-03 08:07 AM

I checked out an 18x8" CE28N sitting in the local ricey shop this weekend. i couldn't believe how light it was... feels like plastic.

But, I was disapointed in the titanium silver finish... its a low-luster silver, and looked like a cheap spray paint job IMHO... maybe it was just a bad one...
