They won’t give up the title “strongest” for the next 10 years!
The latest model from RAYS, “VOLK RACING ZE40X,” made its debut with pride, featuring the overwhelming durability and load capacity required for 4×4, while also focusing on stylish looks and lightweight, and achieving the concept of “the strongest wheels even 10 years from now”. What is inside?
RAYS’ soulful 4×4-specific wheels
The ZE40 has grown to become a model representing the VOLK RACING brand. The ZE40X is a newly developed model that inherits the design philosophy of the ZE40. The spokes, which give a slender, clean impression, have been optimized longitudinally to cope with high loads. The center section, which drops down towards the hub, has a strong 4×4 aura, while on the back side, the spokes have been carefully calculated and stripped so that there is no trade-off between strength and rigidity.
The nine spokes are further strengthened by being joined to the rim, giving them the potential to traverse rough unpaved roads without difficulty. The balance between the lightness of the spokes and the reduced wall thickness achieved by meticulous machining is exquisite, and it is truly a gem that will remain a flagship product for many years to come.
It is also not just about quality and robustness, but also about attention to detail when it comes to design. The face is available in three patterns, from F1 to F3, with the F3 having a very concave shape. However, the F1, which is compatible with an inset of 20, is also quite rounded and will not cause dissatisfaction among users who are more dress-up-oriented. The A.M.T. machined white lettering, which has been deliberately concentrated in the center to add a sense of crispness, is also excellent.
Just right for the Toyota Hilux and Mitsubishi Triton
Sizes are only available in 8J and 8.5J 17″, forged 1-piece, and in addition to the already lined-up Blast Black 2, a Bronze (anodized aluminum) color will be available soon. Just right for the Toyota Hilux, 150-series Land Cruiser Prado, and Mitsubishi Triton, a five-hole model for the Jeep Wrangler is also available. As an option, center caps are available in five different patterns, but note that they cannot be fitted on the Wrangler only. Regarding safety, it should be noted that while meeting the JWL-T truck standard for wheels, they also meet Raise’s own JWL R standard.

As indicated by the VOLK RACING brand used in motorsports around the world, the ZE40X is fully equipped with the three elements required of a sports wheel: rigidity, strength, and lightness. It is a suitable item to adorn the feet of a high-performance 4×4.
