Default Anyone with gold LE28N wheels??

I have yet to see anyone with the gold LE28N wheel setup.. I know LEs are history, so If you got one of the rare wheel setup, let me see it!

Yup, special ordered through the korean Volk dealer.
Actually, it's my buddy's.. He had to put the stock wheels back on for the vehicle registration tests (Korean law stuff), so he is letting me try them on.. I sold my gunmetal 19" LE37...

I'm going for the Amuse CSL look, so I want the LE28N

Well I responded to your PM with the price on it. Personally Jason, I think the LE28's are the perfect wheel if you're trying to emulate the AMUSE Z33 but in a slightly more aggressive way. The AMUSE car runs CE's which are basically the same wheel as an LE28, the LE just has a polished lip. If you have a big "jah ji", I'd go with the super aggressive fitment with +12 offset all the way around just like the real AMUSE car has aggressive fitment for the CE's that it runs.

Pu~hahahahah~~ I wish I can lower my car about 2.5" and put +12 offsets, but you know how korean roads are like... I still have a big jah ji though.. since I'll be the first Z33 with built engine TT setup pushing over 500WHP in Korea.. Hahahahah~

I know the Amuse uses CEs, but LEs are just too pretty... So, I guess I'm going for the bling bling Amuse CSL look~ Now I just have to wait to see if Shines auto project will come through and make the replica front diffuser and the hood...

LOL! I Know exactly what look you are going for and I know how roads in Korea are, trust me, it's not much better here in L.A. You say you have a big jah ji but if you go conservative, than you don't. You don't need to be dropped that low to run +12 man.

One of my customers, running 19x9.5 +12 and 19x10.5 +12. Look how much concavity and dish you get out of a monoblock wheel! Plus, the CE/LE were designed to have more dish than the TE so if you were to get LE28's in +12 all the way around, it would look even crazier than this.

That's insane~ I personally think the 10.5J +22 in the rear is perfect.. Any more offset makes it look like the wheels are sticking out of the rear wheel well unless you put a hugh camber... But then I don't want to waste those expensive tires.. However I love the 9.5J +12 in the front.. unfortunately, tires rub if the car is lowered and hit the bumpy roads. I have a friend with this setup in Korea.. He b**ches about it everytime we go for a drive...

I think the 9.5J +22, 10.5J +22 are the magic numbers!!!

No worries bro. At the end of the day, it's your car and you gotta do what makes you happy.
