Volk Racing CE28N-Plus Wheel (18-inch)

Volk Racing CE28N-Plus Wheel (18-inch)

The CE28N stands as one of RAYS’ lightest forged wheels, rivaling the TE37 in weight-focused performance. While the TE37 is renowned for its extreme rigidity, the CE28N has long prioritized weight reduction. Since its debut, the CE28N has evolved through numerous variants and refinements, maintaining widespread popularity thanks to its exceptional performance and timeless design. The latest evolution, the CE28N-Plus, brings a significant increase in strength and rigidity to meet the demands of today’s heavier, high-output vehicles. Utilizing advanced strength analysis, RAYS has re-engineered the spoke structure, rim shape, and wall thickness. While preserving the core aesthetic of the original CE28N, this update redefines its internals and structural integrity — an embodiment of Volk Racing’s commitment to continuous self-challenge and motorsport-derived innovation.

Unchanged Design, Enhanced Performance

• The iconic 10-spoke layout and the minimalistic center design remain, preserving the CE28N’s familiar identity. Enhancements to the spoke and rim cross-sections were introduced to reduce weight and increase strength, while the well area now features a distinctive wave-like profile.

Center Part

• Among several refinements, the most visibly impactful is the center area. A teardrop-shaped lug nut hole has been adopted, both deepened and enlarged to aid weight reduction while maintaining rigidity by avoiding cut-through weight-relief holes.

Face Design

• Disc types range from FACE-1 to FACE-4, tailored to fit specific vehicle platforms. This setup not only provides a sculpted 3D face profile but also ensures compatibility with large brake calipers, achieved through a standard rim layout.

Standard, Special, Hyper, and Shining Colors

• The CE28N-Plus is offered in a diverse color range to match a variety of vehicle styles. Standard options include Diamond Dark Gunmetal, classic Bronze (almite), and Shining Bronze Metal. For those seeking a standout finish, RAYS also provides special colors, vibrant hyper hues, and multiple Shining Color options for a premium and highly customized appearance.
