WOW! New one piece forged wheels from CCW!

Check out the new wheels from CCW

505A

510A

SP16A

SP20A

the only problem is that they only come in 19" diameters....

I emailed them to see the chances of some 17 or 18"

I wonder what offsets are available. It would be nice to see that, plus some weight figures up on the new website.

Hey, I think they have maxcooper's car in the RX-7 pictures

CCW finally updated their website!

John's going after the Z06 and Viper market with those 19s.

Us lowly Rx7 owners are relagated to the "Classics".

The Classic Street with black anodized centers look pretty good. Lower maintenance than full polished centers, and the polished center cap sets off the look.

If I were doing wide-fitment wheels on a tight BUDGET, I'd do those in 9.5 x 17 all around with 50-mm offsets and 255/40-17 P-Zero Asimmetricos

Wow, even 18" wheels are passe anymore... and here we are w/ 17's. They're probably gonna stop making high performance tires in some of the more aggressive 17" sizes soon too... note that some of the newer models out, even the R compounds like the Pilot sport cup, only come in limited 17" sizes... its all 18's and 19's for Porsches Viipers and Vettes

Grrrrrr...

I called them today about 17"or 18" and he stated that it is very expensive to "tool" up the different sizes. So none for "some time"

These would have made a nice alternative for JimLab who was in the market for 19" polished wheels...

They'd be cool street wheels if you live someplace smooth.

Sleep, try looking at A-Spec's web site. I don't know if Sean has a pic up of is FD but they're running 18" Classics w/ the flat black centers. The ****'s tight!.

PTR, the Sport Cups are actually coming in sizes in 15 (205/50-15) to 19s (265/30-19)! Looks like the 255/45-17 go for 247.00 (03' prices) and work best on a 9.5 inch rim (range 8.5-10.00). If you need any other sizes/prices or info, let me know.
