ce28 on brilliant silver

polarpanda · 10-05-2009, 04:45 AM

Thinking about getting some volk ce28s on my silver 370z, what color is the best? and what offset should I be looking at? I was thinking about the gunmetal or gold colored, but i couldn't find any pictures with similar setup.

Another question, I believe I need new tires with the news wheels correct? and what is the price range on the 19" ce28s?

on my silver cars i use grayscale colors...so gray, graphite,
satin silver, hyper silver, etc. for my aftermarket wheels. heck
i own 3 silver cars...lol not that silver is my favorite color or anything.

i choose car color after looking at the car.

gun metal some times has a greenish/brownish hue so not sure
if you want that or not. probably best to look at the actual thing
before purchase.

polar: there are lots of vendors on the forum. PM one of them to get a price quote on the ce28s (i think Lou even has a for sale thread in the wheels/tires section for them)

as for color, i've always been a fan of darker rims, so i'd go gunmetal, but that's just my opinion

since you have brilliant silver.... next brightest colour to IP.... you can use black rims nicely

Color is preference but probably a +22 offset or maybe a +12 in the rear

thanks for the input, because tires are so expensive i was thinking about using the stock tires on new rims, I looked up the specs for re050 for 245/40 and 275/35 on tirerack, it says the 245/40 would fit 9.5 wheels and 275/35 fits 10.5 wide wheels, so if i get 19" 10.5 and 19" 9.5 rims, the tires should fit correct?

kenchan · 10-05-2009, 03:02 PM

stock RE050's will fit the 9.5" and 10.5" the rear's going to have a nice stretch too.

btw, make sure your local tire store has the correct equipment to mount 19's. a lot of time they scratch your rim.

mounter: Hunter TC3000/TC325

phelan · 10-05-2009, 03:35 PM

just to confirm: yes the RE050s will fit.

Thanks for the info, never thought about that possibility, but now I know to look out for it.

You need somewhere that has a reverse mount tire machine.
