SSR Type-F or Volk CE28N (16x7.5 17x9.0) ?

SSR Type-F or Volk CE28N?
in size of 16x7.5 17x9.0

I am wondering which one is lighter
I am pretty sure Volk can special order setups, not sure about SSR

got pictures anyone?

btw I don't see anyone using Enkei RP-F1??

These are my black CE28N's





I think the Volks will be the lightest of the two, but not by much... I also love the Enkei RP-F1's, but they don't sell them in a size that will fit our cars very well. If they did there is a good chance they would be on my car.

Hmmmmm
the Enkei looked stronger and much used by the Jap tuners,
so in looks the Type-F is similar with CE28?

PS: what is your setup?(offsets)

I'm running a 15/16 set up and love it.
*** FYI if you run this set up the wheels will be 8 spoke vs 10

16x7 +33 (8 Spoke) 11.5 lbs
17x7.5 +33 (10 Spoke) 12.8 lbs

Running 205's on the front and 245's on the rear.

As far as strength and quality go you can't go wrong with Volks. The RE30's are a little bit stronger than the CE28N's, but the CE28N's are more than strong enough to handle anything your going to put your car threw short of an accident.

Agree with Rays, been in racing long enough like ie. brembo

I am going on the route of a white wheel, i suppose these won't be easier to clean than my LSS wheels(not easy already)
