I hope they don't either. I'm just curious as to who RevURGT3 was referring to. I didn't think Rays had any operations in the US, other than the official distributor --Mackin.

Hey guys, thanks for the information, I will check on the offsets with them again.

The distributor that I am using out of California said that they had called "Volk US" to check on the recommended offsets for the CE28NFs... whatever that means... I also thought the offsets were kinda odd... I need to call them again I guess...

I wanted to get these in the time attack color scheme or silver but i gave in and got SF winning in gloss black for a better deal instead. keep us posted what you do. I want to see the time attacks on a VR badly, either model.

Stick with one offset for the wheels if you're going to go with the same width all around (and I highly recommend going with the same width). It'll make your life much easier for the aforementioned reasons. +38 will do nicely.

Thanks. The lack of rust showing really cleans up the look of the car. The paint was applied with a brush.

that is a very black on black look. you need to lower it or get some type of body kits packages on it, IMO.

I want a more aggressive offset for the rear. Can I just swap out the barrel and keep the face? This route seems like it would be at least half the price of replacing the entire wheel. Does anyone know if I can buy the barrels seperately for GT wheels? If this is cheaper than buying the wheels altogther?

Doesn't look dropped. Maybe I am drunk though.

Racing beat drop is very conservative. I sold my RB springs and now have the Tein Basics kit with the GT-N's and looks a lot better.

Well I guess I can't stay with a set of rims for very long. I just got another set of rays. this time they are 20" rims, 8.5/9.5 staggered.
