Thumbs up Volk CE28RT Black Edition

I searched...why hasn't anyone mentioned these?!



Sizing is not great for an FD...but...want...

From this picture, it appears to have a more concave center area then standard CE28N's.

Rishie or any of the other wheel vendors, what's up with these bay boys? Any possibility for a group buy with these?

Because the offsets suck for FDs like most Volk wheels. Also, why does Volk need to change the name of the wheel ever time they paint it a different color?

Apparently, there is a group of S2000 guys trying to get a GB together and Volks Racing has agreed to a limited run of some different offsets. I don't have the details, but it sounds like it may be possible to get FD friendly offsets if the numbers are there. However, given the list price is around $830 per wheel, I don't see that happening.

yeah depending on tire size 10 wide +20 works in the rear with just a roll. my buddy has rolled fenders all around and runs 18x9.5 +12 with 235 and 245 tires. im running 10.5 +22 all around with feed fronts and pulled rears.

the 9.5 +22 and 10 +39 would work great without much fender work... if any. i had a 10 wide in the rear with a +38 with 265 and it didnt rub at all. just barely rolled fenders

Yeah, I didn't see a problem running the rears as 18x10 +39mm 265/35s. But running the fronts 18x9.5 235/40s? I'm not sure.

I'd really love to see some more pictures of these from one of the vendors but I don't know if they're shipping yet. CE28's are one of my favorite wheels and I'm really digging this 2014 edition.

I run 18x10 +38MM front and rear with 265 35 18 tires. I would perfer to run them with 255 35 18 tires but they 265's were very well priced. very well.

The +39 will fit easy with a roll.

This is true. However, I think they have an even bigger group of the "hella flush" crowd.

Do you have any pictures of this? +38 seems way too 'stance-y' for me. The rears I'm okay with but I'm not running ridiculous camber to get these to fit. I was hoping a wheel vendor with some higher res pictures or info on these would chime in.

My old auto-x set up was 18x10.5 +38 withh 265/35-18 as show above. It did require camber maxed (-2.4) up front and -1.2 in the rear, but that is what you want for racing.
I put a lot of street miles/road trip time on that set up too though.

18x10 +38 with 255 tire would require around -2 camber up front and would have the same slight stretch look.

I am running -2 degrees front camber which isn't bad. I have 8-10mm of fender clearence going out from the tire. the tire tread width is 9.6-9.7" on my 265/35/18 tires. wheels are 18x10 +38mm

The tire does rub the plastic in the back a little when the tire sweeps across from turning doing tight turns. hence the reason for 255/35/18 tires (less diameter).

The car doesn't look like it is a stance-y car, looks more like an aggressive race set up with the wider tires.

Attached are some pics of the front wheel and fender.
