anyone know anything about these wheels? I like them and they don't cost as much as Volks.

 

CE28's with a polished lip?

 

yea these look like the volks and the velox zeta 8s/velox vx-8 but these are cheaper and they come in 16".

Yeap these are Volk Copies but they cast not forged which also mean they are about 2x more weight than the original.

 

But they are still made by Rays Engineering. Here is what this place offers. Is this any good?

15" Package:
Includes 205/50/15 w/ Falken 512 tires. $895 shipped.

16" Package:
Includes 205/45/16 BF Goodrich GForce tires.
$1050 shipped.

i would rock those before any rotas

 

or i can get Velox VX-8Rs with (205/40/16) Hankook Ventus HRII H405 tires for $699.00. which is a better tire for 16" wheels? The velox package or the vspeed package?

 

Were you at Discount Tires in El Monte?

well i guess both importhookup and wheeloptions are lying then

 

yeah they are. try finding it on rays site or anywhere in japan you won't find it listed under rays. I don't really care for copied stuff, but if you are going to list it as made by a reputable company that doesn't even make it that is just plain wrong

those stores

 

they are just a new lineup just like that g-games series they have.....just because they arent everywhere in japan or on their website yet dosent mean they dont make them.

 

I don't doubt you, but actually they are listed in Japan but as Ｖ－ＳＰＥＥＤ　ＳＲ－０８, supposely a cast copy of CE28N. It is just funny how g games is listed though but not Vspeed. I'll give rays japan a ring and find out later.

 

what are the disadvantages to cast wheels?

Compared to forged?

Not as light, not as strong.

 

Where did you see them for purchase?

 

not bad...rock any wheels you like ....rota or no rota

 

i like those but want them in 17's.

 

being forged has nothing to do with weight or strength



Forging allows for greater materlial elongation while retaining the same strength

the light weight comes from using less material but it's not really any stronger because they use less material

also forged parts are more likely to break rather than bend which is not always a good thing if you drive your car in pothole country

Non forged parts are usually less than 20% heavier than forged - a good example is the CE28's which are 9.1 lbs each in the 15in size while the konig helium copies are 10.8lbs for that same size
