There is a moment when you look at a car on the street and your eyes are glued to your feet. Strength, beauty, and dignity that springs from within. Even though it's a familiar car, I'm convinced that the "face" of a car is not only the front, but also the sides, when you see an aura that surrounds your whole body from your feet.
What is the value of non-genuine wheels that enhance the beauty of the car
The meaning of changing to beautiful RAYS wheels that show an attractive "profile"Such an attractive "profile" In order to get a new wheel, the first easy thing to try is to install a new wheel. Just by choosing wheels that match the size of your car, removing the genuine wheels and having them rearranged, you can change the appearance. But is it okay to change wheels just for looks? "Even if it looks better, what will happen to the running and riding comfort?" "Is it worth the money to replace it?" To be honest, all sorts of questions come to mind." So this time, I would like to bring two cars to the circuit and compare them with the genuine wheels. The cars are the new Volkswagen Golf and the new Subaru BRZ. It is equipped with the new product "VOLKRACING NE24" which RAYS has just released as a new generation sports wheel. First of all, before installing it, the NE24, which I met with the wheel alone, was impressive for the first time. At first glance, it looks like a delicate and elegant spoke, but when you look at it from a different angle, you can see hidden strength and dignified confidence backed by calculation and rationality. It is a slim 2x4 spoke that is clearly in a different dimension from the conventional VOLK RACING style, but the center connection part and rim connection part have a solid volume, and the spoke end incorporates a triangular fairing motif. , The design is based on the latest rigidity theory through thorough strength analysis. The undercut part of the spoke has a precise and multi-stage twist, and you can feel the three-dimensional beauty from any angle. RAYS' unique high level of technology is astonishing as it is possible to realize such an intricate, cutting-edge design through forging.
The meaning of changing to beautiful "RAYS" wheels that show an attractive "profile"The first test drive was a golf with genuine wheels. Although it is a circuit, I tried to run it with the feeling that it was assumed to be a city ride or a high speed run, not a full throttle run. It is the latest model of a famous car that has become a benchmark for C-segment cars around the world, and the acceleration is light and smooth. The steering feel is solid and you can corner as you wish, but what I was worried about was the lack of grounding feeling in the medium to high speed range. The lightness that felt good at low speeds gradually became too light as the speed increased, leading to a sense of uneasiness. In particular, it was difficult to feel the grounding feeling of the rear wheels, and while I felt that I could step on the accelerator a little more even on a straight, it felt like I was hesitating just in case. However, it is not true to say that the genuine wheels are bad, and you can fully feel the performance that makes the most of the limited budget. It's not bad because it was selected as a result of many piles, but I would like to experience what kind of change will occur by changing to high performance wheels.
Not only the change in appearance, but also the impressive driving performance
The meaning of changing to beautiful "RAYS" wheels that show an attractive "profile"Next, NE24 I go out to the course with golf that I changed into. The appearance is tightened, and the fearlessness is increasing, which alone raises the tension. Start acceleration is still light and smooth. But already at the first corner entry, I was surprised by its calm behavior and the feeling of ground contact. Because the sense of security is increasing, I can open the accelerator from the early stage of the corner exit. The reason why I can afford to shift the load toward the next corner while accelerating comfortably is that I can always feel the change in the connection between the road surface and the tires, and even the slightest movement of my hands and feet, Good responsiveness that the car responds instantly and reliably. It should be because they increase the reliability of the car.
In addition, I feel that the performance of the tire is fully utilized compared to the genuine wheel. Of course, if you prefer a light ride, the genuine wheels may be more suitable. However, I felt that golf with NE24 was definitely more dynamic and lively than before. Even if you have the best materials, you can't make the most of them without the best cook. was. Next, I switched to a BRZ with genuine wheels. It is not a completely normal model, but a model equipped with Trust's suspension. When I came out of the pit road and tried to enter the first corner carefully, I suddenly felt a slapstick and restless behavior. When you exit the corner and reach the high speed range, you will feel uneasy that the rear is about to drift. While I wanted a little more grounding feeling in the rear when braking, severe operation was required to prevent it from going wild. The body is solid and the downforce is trying to push it firmly against the road surface, but it feels like the tires can't handle it. It behaves jerky even during cornering, and some people may find it interesting, but I felt a little uneasy in the city.

From the appearance, it has a high-quality and racy atmosphere, giving the impression of having a dignified presence. This time, I could feel the change when I was already running on the pit road at 40km/h. The tires touched the ground with a moderately heavy feel, so much so that it felt like I was wearing sneakers that didn't fit. You can draw an arc like a line drawn with a single stroke. In a straight line, there is a calmness and a sense of security that allows you to open the accelerator without any hesitation. At the critical moment, the tip of the nose changes direction quickly, and you can feel the tenacious movement of the hind legs. I was able to enjoy the original charm of BRZ+α, which made me want to give a fist pump in my heart.
You can feel the strength of the manufacturer's thought while being surprised by the change that exceeds expectations
The meaning of changing to a beautiful "RAYS" wheel that shows an attractive "profile"To be honest , Before the test drive, I didn't think that I could feel such a difference in running between the Golf and the BRZ. What's so different? What I feel there is the strong feeling that RAYS put into the name "NE24". The "N" in NE24 is actually an image of the "Group N" race category in which cars compete with cars that are in the closest condition to commercial cars. And "E" stands for evolution. "24" is of course 2x4.
A wheel that can compete head-on in the category where hot models are introduced one after another and extreme power battles unfold. To that end, the current RAYS technology has been fully mobilized, and I think that is the driving force that makes the car so dynamic. I learned that the beauty and novelty that I felt from the design was a wonderful expression of the ability to be praised there. Another thing I learned is that the wheel that makes the "profile" attractive is exactly the wheel that brings out the goodness of the car's materials. In conclusion, the NE24 is a wheel that is worth replacing because it improves everything in terms of appearance, driving and ride comfort.
