ccw wheels - thanks to john
I have to give a big personl thanks to john at ccw ( http://www.ccwheel.com )
it was a VERY tight time frame for getting rims to me on time for the mam event and he pulled it off, without them i could not go and he got them out to me in time, litterally RIGHT in time, i stopped at the airport to pick them up from the cargo area about 1 hour before we left for the track, the rims simply kick ***!!!
if you want sweet, affordable, and very light track rims, john is the guy...heck they are a cool street rim too!!!
and about 1/2 the cost of the kenesis counter parts.

I guess i'll ask it here instead of another post.
Why did you switch from kinesis to CCW's? Are they lighter than the Kinesis wheels?
But they do look good....damn good.

i will run the full tread kumos on the kenesis rims and use those to drive to/from tracks, tracking in the rain, and as backup tires...... the new ccws get the racing slicks and see track use only.

Did you get center caps? I'm still waiting for him to send me center caps after, hrmm 4 or 5 years? He doesn't respond to my emails when I randomly send one asking if he has my center caps yet : ). They are very nice rims. I like mine, maybe more if I had (ehem) center caps. It's been awhile.

I want to buy some 17X10 CCWs in the wintertime for next season. Will I need to do aftermarket toe links and trainling arms? I have adjustable coilovers already so I guess the other thing I would have to do is roll my fenders right?

With the 17x10 combo I did have to raise the car back to stock height. Right now I only have 500 lbs springs in front. When I go to 650s I may be able to lower it a bit.
BTW, I chose 17s over the 18s based purely on the cost of tires. I don't intend to run Hoosiers or slicks; Kumhos or Toyos are sufficient for me.
I'll try to attach a pic--never have much luck with the server

The CCW's are very nice wheels, at a decent price and John's communication and dedication are ideal.
