CCW Wheels Picture

I had been reading a couple recent threads about the CCW wheels so I thought I would post a picture of mine. I bought a set about 6 months ago and they have been awesome to sum it up. I got the 18x10 all around in a light black anodized finish. They are about as lightweight as you can get with the extra holes drilled on the outer edge and the titanium hardware package (bolts and nuts). I never got a chance to weigh the wheel alone but it felt around 20-21 lbs. Only slightly heavier than stock. I have 285/30/18 Kumho V700s mounted on them and the grip is good for almost another 2s off stock wheels and race tires on a typical autocross course. Enjoy.

It's too bad I've only been able to see those wheels in pictures... They look nice, it's amazing how good 18x10s look on an FD.

Are you coming to the 10/19 ESCA auto-x? If so, wear those shoes so I can check them out...looks and performance wise....

the tires are slightly more expensive but the overall diameter for certain 18" size tires are smaller giving better clearance.

2 secs on a typical autocross?

My stockers would have only been 7 tenths behind you had I NOT hit the slalom cone. Allthough I probably would have not hit the cone if I had the CCW's. :-)

Nice final run!! See you Oct. 4th.
