I'm waiting on a set of Ce28n's in gunmetal. Should be here sometime this month. Wheels are all personal preference.
When considering wheels, I am primarily concerned with:
1. Structural integrity
2. Lightweight
The CE's excel at both and also look good.
To TXaaron: It's clear you are much more about show than go with a sig full of aesthetic "mods". I guarantee the CE's are much more dense and weigh less than your Axis wheels--meaning your wheels are inferior to the ones you are hating on--but to each his own...

Gotta love when people say things with such authority, but have no clue. It's obvious you've never owned a set of these, but at least look at the picture more closely before inserting foot in mouth. I do agree that the CE28 isn't aggressive. It's more clean and simple, but not classy either, since it's a race-style wheel.
My mistake....lol

And I am also going greddy TT, so the whole "all show" thing is merely temporaryI never said that no one should get these, just that I dont think they are classy or aggressive?? In my opinion, they look like the rice rims you see on alot of rice cars. Which is a shame cause Im sure they are a very good quality wheel, its just not my taste. No need to try to call people out and be an a$$ just because they dont like the same thing that everyone else does. Like you said, to each their own. Was just giving my .02 And besides, of the people that have these "high performance" rims, how many of you have actually tracked your G??? Just curious

oh yeah and it is for a different bolt pattern, but definitely not for 4-lugs

BTW, count the number of spokes. The 4 lug and 5 lug ce28ns aren't interchangeable like you claim

CE's isn't the most interesting wheel to look at. But it's a simple design that just works and looks great on most cars. CE28N's with the proper finish and offsets look stunning! I'd definately rock those wheels in a +12 offset.
I don't mind personal opinions. But this must be the first time I have ever heard anyone call or imply that the CE28N's are ricey. You hardly ever see these wheels on riced out cars to begin with, considering that they probably cost as much as the car itself.

wow....like I said, To each their own. I for one, am just not a fan of this style of rim. I never said the CE28Ns were ricey, merely said that that style imo looked like it belonged on a small civic or something. Thats just my opinion, its funny how people get so defensive. You can think these rims are the nicest and classiest rims on the planet, thats fine. Thats your opinion and I have mine.....thats all I was sayin Im not the only one who didnt like them. And yes, I was mistaken on fitting 4 and 5 lug universally, they are for either 4 or 5 lug, and the multiple sets of holes are for the different bolt patterns not weight reduction. Im gonna go lash my self for making a mistake while posting about a personal opinion....to appease all of you....haha

You just got owned by your own pic above. Accodring to that chart they make the 17x7.5 +43 in 5x114.3 and 4x100. Nowhere does it say it's the same wheel that has both bolt patterns on it.
Irony at its best. He's running 20" Axis lead weights along with that Kenstyle rear.

You don't know how to read the spec sheet. For the 17x7.5 in wheel only, they make a 4 x 100 bolt pattern wheel and a separate 5x114.3 bolt pattern wheel. The rest of the wheels aren't even offered in 4x100. The extra holes don't even have a taper for lug nuts to seat to.

It happens...lol But I did say probably...haha I just have a hard time grasping drilling extra holes in rims for weight reduction? Is that really what they are for then?
