HELP! How much are the wheels worth? are they ce28n or ?

Hi I bought my G35 1 week ago and after driving 2 hours the owner found out they stole his stock wheels so we ended working out a deal for these.

he said he had them powdercoated like a dark gunmetal black color.

They are 18s and I believe 18x9.5 all around with 30 offset front tires are 255s and rears are 285s all tires like new. How much are these wheels worth or worth with the tires? all of them are 9.9 condition they dont even have brake dust inside they look out the box.

Yes, they are Volk Racing CE28N.

I'd start at $2400 without tires.

Continental Procontact tires are about $200 each.

I'd go with $2900 with tires if they are new. Your best option is to take the tires off and sell them locally in case someone non local wants just the wheels (shipping just wheels is a lot cheaper than wheels+tires).

CE28s are very nice and popular wheels for the track oriented guy so you shouldn't have an issue selling them. Since they are 18s, you might have more luck on My350z, or an Evo forum or something.

Those are clearly cheap replicas. First they are not even drilled properly (you are missing 5 holes). Second, the Rays decal inside is missing. Third, the castings are not correct. You are missing the Made In Japan casting and 5x100 520KG casting.

Also looks like a cheap powder job. I would say they are worth about 500-600 dollars for wheels. Most I would pay with tires is 1k.

I just went to bulletproof , a local volk racing authorized dealer and they said they are real, they said they have made changes during the years and these are like the second generation later ones started embossing more around the wheels, and the current ones are fully embossed, he said the concave is based on the specs and concave of how the wheel was ordered. Also said there is alot of replicas and non actually have RAYS ENG. embossed like that. now I dont know what to believe

They are fully of sh*t. Here is a pic from 2004 showing the orginal CE28 and LE28 (polished version), same holes but even more casting markings (further proving they are wrong).



The only line to ever come with only 5 holes is the CE28RT and those just came out last year. It definatly isnt those because the casting dont match.

Without a doubt they are fake.
