The VOLK RACING wheel brand represents the benchmark for forged sport wheels that leverage racing technology. The lightness and strength of Volk wheels have been attained by applying the latest analytic technologies.
Using the clean silhouette and lack of ostentation of its Volk Racing wheels as a weapon, Ray’s envisions to fit them on all high-performance cars throughout the world.
Volk Racing is the gold standard of high-end forged wheels. They're well known for being incredibly lightweight and extremely strong, thanks to their unique forging process. Their mold-form forging process works by creating the shape of the wheel during the forging process, which allows the grain of the metal to flow with the shape of the wheel. The result is a wheel that has much greater strength.
Volk Racing Wheels are used by race teams from Nissan, Honda, Toyota, and Mazda in iconic events like Super GT, Japanese Touring Car Championship (JTCC), British Touring Car Championship (BTCC), Formula Nippon, Formula D and Formula One. They are also widely used by enthusiasts and grassroots racers all over the world.
This is the result of Rays Engineering’s years of re-inventing their wheels making them stronger and lighter every generation. This is a testament to Volk Racing’s relentless pursuit of perfection.
The CE28 Super Lap edition further takes the already lightweight of CE28N and incorporates the SL model which includes the most recent technical analysis with a new approach.
As similar to the SL model of the TE37, the mass around the center cap area has been removed, recreating the center circle. Mass has been removed where possible while rigidity has been gained by added thickness where required.
The answer to the weight loss is 50 grams. To put that in perspective, the CE28N is an already very light wheel, the 17x9 only weighs 15.15 pounds – and the SL reduces a further 50 grams off of it without diminishing the superior stiffness Volk Racing wheels are known for.
50 grams is nothing to scoff at in normal streetcars, but every ounce lost is vital in racing. The CE28SL will make your track car steps ahead of the competition.
