Volk Racing CE28 Club Racer II Black Edition Wheels

What makes Volk Racing's CE28 Club Racer II Black Edition Special?

The most significant change on the Club Racer II Black Edition variant of the CE28 is the center section modified for improved strength and weight. On top of that, the spoke cross-sectional shape, joints, and inner rim are all strengthened compared to the standard CE28. You can identify the Club Racer II from the standard CE28 by its red stickers on the wheel's triangle. 

With the Club Racer II Black Edition, Volk strengthened the spoke cross-sectional shape, joints, and inner rim. The most remarkable change was reviewing the center hole design to close the lightweight holes to inhibit the amount of disc displacement and inner rim flexibility. These changes' effects are dramatic—comparison tests showed an actual increase of approximately 200 g over the standard model. Our new model has been highly evaluated for its reliable traction and stability when a load is applied upon corner entry and at high speed. Black Editions are usually reserved for special models, like Mercedes-AMG's Black Series line of cars. And this wheel is special.

Volk Racing’s Mold Form Forging Technology

Rays' forged wheels are made using design mold-form forging technology, which involves the use of a dedicated mold for each type of wheel and a differently shaped mold for each process.

Requiring the use of advanced technology, this method is both labor-intensive and time-consuming, but Rays believes this to be the only forging method that fully exploits the intrinsic potential of forging.

The ratio obtained by dividing the cross-section of the completed forged wheel by that of the original billet is known as the forging ratio. Essentially, it represents how much the shape of the original billet has changed, but what matters most in this process is the ability to apply pressure.

RAYS boasts a 10,000-ton forging machine enables a wheel with a high forging ratio to be molded in a single pressing. It also allows materials to be spread across wheels designed to have a large surface area quickly and uniformly, even if they have a diameter of over 20 inches. Consequently, this machine dramatically increases production efficiency for high-quality forged wheels.

JWL+R Spec 2

Bearing in mind that the JWL standards adhered to in Japan are the minimum strength standards that all wheel manufacturers must meet, RAYS conducts its own practical strength tests that better reflect the actual driving conditions. The company requires all its wheels to meet its own in-house standards (JWL+R) and all its forged wheels to meet even stricter in-house standards (JWL+R SPEC2). Safety is the absolute minimum requirement that Volk Racing must meet no matter how hard they may strive to achieve high performance. Rays' fundamental mission is to ensure the safety of all drivers using their wheels.

Why Should I Install Aftermarket Wheels?

• Aftermarket wheels have been engineered to be lightweight, so these see the primary use in motorsports.
• A lighter wheel reduces un-sprung weight, resulting in faster acceleration and significantly improved handling.
• A bigger wheel allows space for much larger brake rotors and calipers—usually a must when a car is built to race.
• A larger wheel is more attractive in design compared to dull stock wheels.
