![]() The LMGT4 is quite popular for its aggressive five-spoke design and If I am not mistaken, a similar wheel is/was sold by Mazdaspeed. On nearly all of its models, Volk has released special "Time Attack" editions with red wheel lips or other models with machined lips, but personally I think these wheels look better when they are all one color.Īnother popular wheel made by Ray's Engineering is sold as the Nismo LMGT4 and can be seen on cars like Yoshinori Koguchi's 180SX and the the Nismo Skyline GT-R Z-Tune. The wheel is seen here on the VARIS Evo5 time attack car. ![]() The RE30 is a more recent addition to the Volk Racing lineup, and since its release a couple years ago, it has become an extremely popular wheel both in Japan and elsewhere. Ray's offers the CE28N in a number of different colors, and I don't think there is a single color that doesn't look good on this wheel. The Powerhouse Amuse GT1 S2000 seen above is just one of the many cars that the CE28N looks right at home on. Like the TE37, it comes in tons of different sizes that will fit everything from a Toyota Prius to widebody time attack cars. ![]() Right behind the TE37 in popularity is another Volk Racing wheel, the CE28N. There are also different variations of the original TE37 design like the "cup" and "gravel" versions. The TE37 looks particularly great in low offset sizing with the concave or "GT-R face". I could write several posts alone just on this one wheel. It looks right at home and car's dating from the '60s all the way to 2008 and it can be found on everything from vintage race cars and drift cars to time attack record breakers. It is one of the oldest wheels of this type and it's ultra lightweight forged construction and timeless six-spoke design have kept this wheel at the top when it comes to popularity. There is no Japanese racing wheel more iconic and popular than the Ray's Engineering Volk TE37. Again, this is not supposed to be an end-all wheel guide, but a simple overview of well known models. Now let's take a look at some the popular models. Besides being found on tuned Japanese cars worldwide, the quality of these wheels is good enough to be used by owners of high end non-Japanese cars like Porsche 911's and BMW M3's, and even Corvette Z06's. Even people who are not into Japanese tuning should be familiar with wheels like the Volk TE37 and Advan RS. Known for their high quality, light weights, and stylish designs, these wheels can be found all over the world and their styles have been imitated time and time again. Now it's time to continue our look at iconic Japanese wheels with a venture into the world of one-piece racing wheels.
