I've set my eyes and heart (and money of course!) for a set of Volk CE28N 17" x 7.5JJ.
I've got a few quotes going around, but there are 2 problems I have:
1. What colour to choose? Thinking of Silver or Bronze, or even have it custom coloured Gun Metal :confused:. My car body colour is graphite.
2. What offset to choose? I've got a link to rays site where they tell for Honda Accord euro-R CL7 is 1775 +50. But will it fit CL9 chassis?

Thanks heaps heaps in advance for any help you guys can give me.:thumbsup:

Go with Bronze mate, Silver is a too common colour.

with 17 X 7.5" best to go for +45 offset.
make sure the spokes of CE28N clears the caliper.

not really, my SE37 has offset of +40...just filled out the guards.

+45 is about right.

make sure the spokes of CE28N clears the caliper.

This is the problem, no one has it for me to test :(
I've asked several stores, and neither have them in stock, it has to be ordered from Japan.
And Rays Wheels never reply any emails I sent to them :rolleyes:

Have you looked on acurazine? I am almost certain someone has these rims there. If it is available in a +50 like Tanghy says - go +50.

It would be unusual if they do not clear the calipers - esp if the offset is +50.

I had some Racing Hart CP035s in my previous car.
they were +40 offset and didn't clear the rear caliper on my car..

it really depends on the design of the wheel too.
