Rays Volks CE28N Ultra Light Ultra Rare
I am putting up for sale my Rays Volks CE28N's in 5x100 PCD size which are probably amongst the lightest wheels and rarest wheels you can buy.
I bought these and had them refurbished in BMW Sepang Bronze in a matt finish as they were well past their prime when I got them.
Some useful links to give some more detail on the wheels construction.

These wheels as you can see are not cheap and a set of 4 brand new (without tyres or centre caps) will typically cost in excess of £2200.
I sourced a set of rare genuine Volks Time Attack centre caps and these cost me over £150 by the time I paid the shipping and import taxes as they were only available from the USA.
The wheels are currently fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tyres (all with around 5mm of tread from memory) which offer really good grip levels in all conditions, I would say that they seem to feather on the outside shoulders but this seems to be part of the design. I was concerned about this at first until I did some checking online and it is a common occurence.
There is a slight problem with one of the tyres and that is that is has picked up a slight nick/cut into the sidewall which is only cosmetic and it doesn't effect the tyre at all. It is noticeable if you look for it but is easily missed but I think it only fair to point it out (you can see it in a close pic below).
I am looking to sell these wheels for £950 OVNO including delivery which if you compare it to the new price (which doesn't include tyres or centre caps) is a real bargain. I appreciate that the asking price may seem expensive but please do not turn this thread into a debate on prices and spam up my thread.
If the colour or matt finish of the wheels is not too your own personal taste then I could get them changed by Ryan (Prodriverules) for a very reasonable price indeed.
I will state that the only reason that I am selling is that I also have a set of BBS lightweight alloys fitted to my Spec C, plus with some winter wheels I don't have the room to store 2 sets of spare wheels.

Personally I wouldn't powdercoat them but ask Ryan to paint them for you, it'll be cheaper, better and you'll get the best finish possible.
But if you buy them it's your choice.
