This ruins the Volk name IMHO. Never been a fan of RO_JA wheels.

Basically they took a Gram Lights wheel and put their logo on it.

Basically Rays has expanded their line to others (aka Nismo and Ro_JA).

I dont believe it ruins Rays Engineering name at all.

Ro_JA make good wheels. They have bumped up quality and offer some very nice wheels for the Z.

All the Ro_Ja line of wheels are forged unlike ADR, AXIS wheels or even Racing Hart which are cast aluminum.

Ro_JA simple designs are right on point. The quality is good, they are stong, and the price is right up with other cast wheels.

The R25 wheels have stickers on them. Also the center cap can be remoeved. If you dont like the Ro_JA name you dont have to run it.

The R25 wheels are also priced right on par with other Volk wheels (you would be crazy to pay retail on any wheel out there).

Its all a matter of opinion.

I have owned a few sets of RO_JA wheels and i can say most people who have seen them have been left drooling.

looks great red6 (as expected) - what I don't get are these people that come on here to bash a great product because it's not marketed under the brand name of their chosing (like everyone must bow down to Volk Racing - give me a break) - if it's a great product, and is affordable (street prices are on these, btw) I don't give a **** what you call it - they can be called the "monkey-crap dookey *****" and I'd still be all over them!

and red6, I got a PM from you a while back on prices for these - do those prices still stand? I'm interested in the mercury silver "mild" setup (is the rear lip the same with that setup?)

I strongly agreed. It's kinda like BBS rims are sale under AXIS name, and ADVAN wheels are sale under ADR name.

All the Ro_Ja line of wheels are forged unlike ADR, AXIS wheels or even Racing Hart which are cast aluminum.
RO_Ja wheels aren't Forged monoblock like TE37 or CE38N.

if you compares RO-Ja's wheels to company like ADR, AXIS who makes knock off, then RO-JA do makes good wheels.

Not all cast aluminum wheels are less good than forged wheels. For example, Enkei's NT03M, RPF01, or SSR's Professor SP1, or Works emotion CR are all top notch wheels even compares to Forged wheels.


what I don't get are these people that come on here to bash a great product because it's not marketed under the brand name of their chosing (like everyone must bow down to Volk Racing - give me a break)
Fact is, most wheels manufacture do bow down to Volk.

it is great product, however, the fact is RO_Ja. If the wheel is sale under the name Greddy or HKS, I don't think people will have problem with it. Just like no one complain about selling it under NISMO.

Think if your Z or G35 is selling under the name KIA or Dodge, or saturn, or Oldsmobile.

Thanks Rays make great wheels reguardless.

I sent you a pm on pricing.

The rear lip is the same size on the mild set up.

Vivid is right the Carbon black are now sold out till october.

Also the wheel is cast center forged barrel.

Weight are the same as the Volk GTC Wheels about 27lbs front 28lbs rear.

Mercury silvers are still in stock but going fast.

Heres a pic of how the set up will look in Mercury silver.

If you dont like them i can understand but dont bash them if you haven't owned a set.


I never personally heard any complaints about the Ro_JA line of wheels for the 350z. Me and alot of other 350Z owners that i have sold Ro_Ja wheels to were very happy with their purchase.


Rays makes a few wheels 1 piece mono block your right (The TE-37 and the CE38N). Ro_Ja also a few wheels as well that are 1 piece mono block forged wheels. They are the 17x7 Ro_JA Formula 5 and Ro_JA Formula 7 that weight 14.5lbs.

Most volk wheels are Forged two piece wheels (aka GTC's, Volk SF challenge, Volk GT7 to name a few). The same goes for RO_JA most of their wheels are two piece forged.

Im not dising any brand but cast and forged are very different in strength.

BTW Axis has their own simple designs (I like them too).

Ive been in bad accidents in both type of wheels and let me say the forged wheels were repairable the cast were shattered and bent.

Ro_Ja are great wheels and I stand behind them (others from this board will back me up). They are forged and the people that work and make the wheels are as top notch in customer service and quality.

Well like I said before if a person doesnt like the Ro_JA name they can easily take off the stickers and not run the caps.

These wheels are made by Rays and look great bottom line.
