Volk Racing CE28SL wheels have earned a legendary reputation among enthusiast drivers and tuners for one simple reason: they combine ultra-lightweight performance with strong, race-ready engineering. Designed and manufactured by Rays Engineering — the same Japanese company behind high-end competition wheels — the CE28SL stands out as one of the most effective ways to reduce unsprung weight while enhancing both the handling and aesthetic of sports cars.
What sets the CE28SL apart from many other aftermarket wheels is its forged construction process, which optimizes strength without excess material. Instead of relying on cast or flow-formed production, the CE28SL uses a specialized forging method that compresses the wheel’s aluminum into a tight, uniform grain structure. This results in a wheel that is both incredibly strong and astonishingly light — often saving several pounds per corner compared to standard OEM wheels. Less weight at each wheel means reduced rotational mass, which improves throttle response, braking performance, and turn-in precision.
These Volk Racing CE28SL, sized 17x9 +45 are fantastic lightweight track wheels for the Honda S2000 and Mazda MX-5 NC.
Shown here is the new Blast Bronze finish. As with every other Volk Racing wheel with the "SL" moniker, lip and spoke decals are provided, giving users the option to further distinguish their ride.

Another benefit of choosing Volk Racing CE28SL wheels is their wide range of fitments and finishes. From lightweight staggered sizes that fill out aggressive arches to finishes like matte bronze or gloss black that complement a car’s color palette, there are options for nearly every build. Enthusiasts appreciate that the CE28SL doesn’t just look good — it delivers measurable gains in driving dynamics.
In short, if you’re building a sports car that demands sharp handling, improved responsiveness, and a reduction in unsprung weight, the Volk Racing CE28SL is a premium choice that consistently delivers on performance and style.
