Volk Racing CE28 on order...
Actually I'm going to order these rims tomorrow morning.
I saw them at the dealer and I have to say they must be among the lightest ones out there. I'm going for 18x8 front and 18x9 rear. Problem is there are two 'types', the N model and the NF model. The second one you can see it fitted on my car...
So what do you guys think? I prefer the NF more...

guys why go 19? they are more expensive, tires are more expensive and performance gets worse, doesn't it??
rim is heavier too... rays enginnering just answered the e-mail my dealer sent, and the ce28N in 18x8 is only 6.63kg or 14.6lbs and 18x9 is about 7.2kg if I remember correctly...
the only problem is the NF series come only in 18x8... and I can't get a staggered setup:o

Go with 19's and go for the finish in pic #1. You raise a good point on the bigger the wheels the more performance is suffers!! I don't a 1" increase would affect performance to much. Besides....you will look pimp!!
Good luck.

For Volks, go bigger.. 19 looks good on the 8. 18 is fine too. 17... it's a tad dinky, but they do make them in 17s... for like Civics and stuff.

wow, guys :o you are driving me crazy with the 19s... :p
actually, the main reason not to go for 19 is the road conditions here, which are really bad. 19s are going to break my back along with the rest of the car... seriously. if I could go for 17s I would, but the 8 has a weird shape...

Depends on which Volks you get... hehehe. I ordered SF Challenge 19".. no center caps needed. But ya, mucho expensive. About a 2 week paycheck for me, but I had to go 19 or not go at all.. it would rack my brain thinking of "What ifs."

SF are nice looking rims but a bit heavy... centre part is casted not forged, thats the big difference. In 19 I think they are heavier than stock. Overall is a good choice though...

Nice!
Awesome man! These will look great on your car. Please post some pics when you have them mounted!
Personally, I'd go w/ the ones w/ the lip. (But again, just personal preference... either way will look great.)
