Default John from CCW really comes through!!

I just wanted to give a big public thanks to the guys at CCW, I decided to install a set of StopTech brakes on my car before a track day coming up on Mon/tue of next week. Well in my rush (since my car is always last) I forgot that my rims will no longer fit with the larger calipers. Of course this was realized Wednesday night, so we called John first thing Thursday morning and today (Friday) I have a set of rims and tires mounted, balanced, on my car ready to go hit the Glen. That type of customer service is well above and beyond the call of duty and is much appreciated.

We have always used and recommended CCW's, this is just one reason why.

Over the last three years I have purchased 10 sets of wheels from John and the gang.

I am always treated as "one of them." They are good people, make a fine product and "yes" it is good that the wheels are made in America.

I now have 4 sets of the one-piece Corsairs for my T1 Viper, and they are great looking!

I have one of those 'right before an event, I had a......' story, some years back.

John met me @ the shop late @ night (I'm an hour from there) & fixed me right up--w/ a busted hand no less...

I'm a cust for life

His enthusiasm, though, can be taxing @ times

John is very good. My Z has CCW Corsairs with Goodyear slicks. John is a great source of information and he delivers.

Everything he does is first class. I have banged, pounded, and otherwise totally abused his wheels and have never broken one. I almost don't want to see his exibit at PRI because I know it will cost me money! I now have his Corsairs and even the Ferrari and Porsche guys have wheel envy.

The wheels are awesome, and so was the service.

I totally agree. I've been running Classics on my T-1 car this year and have had a few, lets say, excursions off road! Not one is out of round or dented. They don't lose any air either! Great product, now I only wish I could afford another set for rain tires......

Some of the BEST customer service I ever had......

....some how when I got mine there was a mixup and I got drag radials instead of Nitto RII's in the rear. One call and a new set of wheels with new RII's were on the way ...... even though I called him from the track and told him I was racing on the drags.
