Volk Racing ZE40X : Forged in Japan, Engineered to Conquer Every Terrain

Meet the new heavyweight champion of off-road performance — the VOLK RACING ZE40X. Born from the same racing DNA that made Volk’s ZE40 a legend on the track, the ZE40X takes that heritage and re-engineers it for the toughest terrain on earth. This isn’t just another rugged wheel — it’s a forged masterpiece designed for serious 4x4 machines and built to dominate everything from desert trails to mountain climbs.

A New Chapter in Forged Wheel Engineering

The ZE40X carries forward the Volk Racing philosophy of pure performance — “The strongest wheel, even ten years ahead.” Every inch of this design represents that commitment. Using advanced forging techniques, RAYS engineers have created a one-piece monoblock that blends lightweight precision with brute-force durability.

Available in 17-inch and 18-inch sizes with fitments for popular off-road platforms like Toyota, Jeep, and Mitsubishi, the ZE40X meets the rigorous JWL-T truck standards — the highest benchmark for load-bearing wheels. It’s also been tested under RAYS’ own JWL+R criteria, ensuring it doesn’t just meet expectations — it exceeds them.

Strength Meets Design

The ZE40X’s distinctive 10-spoke design isn’t just for looks. Each spoke is structurally optimized for high load capacity, giving the wheel the rigidity it needs to handle unpredictable terrain. The forged spoke-to-rim bonding process reinforces the entire structure, creating exceptional resistance to impact and flex.

Even the smallest details serve a purpose. The machined center section and precision-milled backside reduce unnecessary material without compromising strength. The result? A wheel that feels lighter behind the wheel but stronger when it matters most.

This is where form meets function — where industrial toughness meets Japanese engineering finesse.

Forged to Conquer

Whether you’re crawling over rocks, slicing through gravel, or hammering down a desert trail, the ZE40X was designed to attack all ground. The wheel’s balance of strength and weight makes it the perfect choice for those who demand uncompromising performance from their rigs.

Each wheel is forged in-house in Japan, ensuring complete quality control from raw aluminum to final finish. The result is a wheel that’s not only built to endure — it’s built to inspire confidence with every rotation.

Available Finishes

The ZE40X drops in two timeless finishes:

• Blast Black 2 (BT) — stealth and aggression in one finish.
• Bronze Almite (BR) — a classic forged hue that pays homage to Volk’s racing heritage.

Each wheel includes an air valve, with optional center caps available separately for a fully custom look.

The HypeGeek Verdict

The VOLK RACING ZE40X isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a declaration. It says your 4x4 isn’t built for posing in a parking lot; it’s built to conquer. With precision-forged engineering, race-proven heritage, and aesthetics that look just as good on the trail as they do at a show, this wheel is the new benchmark for premium off-road performance.

If you’re serious about your build — and you expect your parts to perform as hard as you do — the ZE40X deserves a spot on your shortlist.

Deliveries begin Winter 2025. Made in Japan. Made to perform.
