The LE28's are still a forged monoblock and weigh exactly the same as the CE version. The lip is polished/diamond cut and that is the only difference.

Oh cool! Any idea why they are not listed on www.rayswheels.co.jp/indexe.html ??

(Come to think of it, they don't even list diamond black SF Challenges as an option.)

Anyone know where to get the COMPLETE list of Volk / Rays wheels? In all the colors? Or I just have to shop around...

For some reason, there doesn't seem to be a place with the COMPLETE list of Volk/Rays in all the colors. Mackin's site has a lot of them, but they don't always have the correct/full list of available colors. I think the best thing to do is to call one of the dealers and ask if they can get exactly what you want.

Edit: I just checked, and the list of available colors for each wheel seems a lot more complete than it used to be. They still don't have all the newest wheels designs though.

well reason they don't list it is because there's too many color you can order.. You can get all Black CE and even special order this color.

Remember that you could always paint the rims with a nice Dupont Chroma Based hue to personalize it. Browse the new Turbo magazine. You may find interesting the article on light weight rims with pictures. Its pretty good and a nice variety also. I painted my track model Rays and people think its a racing wheel from world challenge or something.

^^LOL thats funny!^^

Yep! I didnt know that there was that much perfomance loss with my 19's. I'm thinking about some gunmetal LE37's for the weight savings. Then I thought to myself F*ck that! I like my wheels too much!

Wired your SF-Challanges are sweet. They are look mean and aggressive. C'mon man, you just got your MREV 2 on. You already made up for performance loss with your 19's. IMO!

It all depends on which route you want to go. I use to have Volk GT-7's but switched over to TE37's because I am starting to do and more track events and it's more convenient for me to have a daily lightweight wheel instead of having to always change it.

Matt, since you will be doing events soon I know you will eventually get forged wheels... question is, can you keep the sf challenges and get the ce's on top of that.

Are there differences for models with brembos and those without? Just curious because in some pics the spokes look flat, in others they look concave.

it just depend on the offset and size you get. If you get 18x9.5 +22 & 18x10.5 +18 you will get a really nice concave look..

LOL you're gonna be the guy who calls me Matt forever now huh...

I cannot afford to keep an extra set of wheels right now.
