I know it looks that way... but I currently own 2 sets of CE28N's

So let me try to explain...

For example: when you buy a genuine Volk CE28N in 5x100 it DOES NOT also have a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

XXR to name one and many other wheel manufactures do this to save money... Rays Engineering (Volk) does not.

A genuine Volk CE28N wheel (5 x whatever) has 10 holes but only ONE bolt pattern.

And... only 5 of those 10 holes will let a wheel stud pass through. The other 5 holes are for weight reduction and a uniform design and are too small to let a wheel stud pass through. Google that and tell me I'm wrong.

The OP stated they were Volks... but they are not because the bolt pattern is both 5x100 and 5x114.3

Zoom in on the front rim and check it out for yourself, then get some ice.

I just don't want to see anyone get ripped off or mislead, that's all.
