Default Guys - Should I do this? Volk CE28N







Sure, I'll lose ... well... a TON of bling factor. But these rims are pretty sexy and they will shave a TON of weight off (thinking about 18").

What do you all think?

I'm not going to commit to this anytime soon, just putting it out there as a possibility.

I love my SF Challenges to death though...

Keep your SF Challenge.
CE28N are sure good looking, but EVERY s2000 owners have them.
They don't look mean enough..they are better suited for Hondas.

the TE37, ce28n, and sf challenges are my 3 favorite volk wheels. Right now i can decide between them either, the only thing that deters me away from the challenges are the extra weight.... i wish i could have 2 sets... i guess i'll stick with my TE-37s. if you really want the maximum performance out of your vehicle, go with the CE28n or te37s. function over fashion i guess.

Those black LE28's would look great on a SB Z. I would do it and sell your SF's to me cheap.

I think they look awesome.

If every S2000 has the CE28's, then every Z has the TE/LE 37's. So you'd be in the minority if you have a Z with the CE28's. Do it!

I know they don't look as good as the SF challenges. I am only considering them because they are so much lighter. (They still look GOOD IMO, just not *as* good).

Going from a reasonable weight forged-barrel 2-piece 19" like the SF challenge down to a lightweight forged monoblock 18" is going to save money on tires and dump a ton of weight.

I like the look of the LE's a lot, but since they are still 2 pc forged barrel like the SF challenge, with a cast face, I'm not going to make a trade for another forged barrel rim.

This is going to be a tough decision... I will have to sleep on it many weeks.

I think they look awesome.

If every S2000 has the CE28's, then every Z has the TE/LE 37's. So you'd be in the minority if you have a Z with the CE28's. Do it!
My thoughts exactly. Dump a ton of weight, have a more unique look...
