Hey guys.|

I have a set of Fiske Fm-10's and not that i am not satisfied but I was looking at CCW Sp 20's and I was wondering how and if these wheels compare.

Thanks for the help,
Alex

The right size its just last week I had to take a wheel off and the wrench slipped and chipped the faces of one o my wheels. Two of the other wheels have curb rash from a previous owner. So I was just getting to thinking.....

Plus I personally feel the CCW is a much much better looking wheel.

Still my top 3 favorite wheels are...

1- Advan Sienna Generation II
2- CCW SP20
3- Fiske FM-10

run a search for ccw wheels in this forum, you can find tons of pics and people that are running them. My advice would be to Private Message people with ccw's and ask them their thoughts

Good Idea. I just know that my wheels are modular while the CCW's are not (except the Classic model). So I am thinking future. Or else I will save buy another disk for my wheels and file off the curb rash. Not to many responses but thanks dude.

yea you should also ask what fitments they're running and the cost they got them for. I know that since CCW is all custom wheels, you can run 18x10 all the way around to get some nice rubber on the car. I would also think about calling CCW, as they apparently seem to know a lot about FD fitments

I helped a friend build his widebody FC racecar and he is running CCW classics on it, 17x10 fronts and 17x12 out back. after final fitment he decided to send the 17x12 back to CCW for them to change the wheels to a 17x11 size, which they gladly did and turnaround time was very fast. he was more than satisfied with their service and knowledge of rx7's. apparently the FD is a car they love to outfit with their wheels. they do look great on FD's.

I dont know about the specific model wheel you are asking about but I know anything from CCW is very high quality.

Some of their new wheels are really great looking... The classics IMO are more of a track only wheel, not up to the asthetics of Fikse for instance.

Fikse is also a track wheel. Notice that 75% of Lemans teams run their wheels. However, I agree that Fikse's are better lookin than the classic in most cases.

However, around her a gentleman has a CYM with Classics with a sort of black powdercoating with polished lip and let me tell you it suited the car better than almost any other wheel I have seen.
