I called them a few days before my last post and the person I spoke to said they only have 1 size for the 17s and 18s. I persisted with my question a bit and he abruptly cut me off and said they haven't made more than one center size for a long time. I hope he is mistaken.
This is why I would only use CCW's as utilitarian track wheels. The original design looks a little home-made to me, and the centers are small.... Not quite up to par with Fikses Kinesis, etc... they were really intended as performance/no frills wheel at a no frill price.
It's too bad some of their new, much better looking models don't look like they're really sized for our cars.

these are machined specific for each customer? offsets and everything? so if i wanted to get the SP500 streets, i could get them in whatever offset i wanted with the specified sizes?
i looked at this site a long time ago, but dinn know they did custom offsets.

on it
No complaint here... a no frill wheel at a no frill price... I like frills for my street wheels though.
\0\05{\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0Given that with a CCW you can get a true custom wheel made to your specs at less than half the cost of a set of Kinesis or Fikse I don't see how anyone can complain, especially given CCW's great service and ease of repair if needed.[/QUOTE]
