Default Which of these CCW wheels should I buy????

I've posted pictures of 3 different wheels.
I'm looking to get these wheels in a 19/20 combo.
I have a silver C5 vert and I've been going back and fourth on these wheels for the last three months and I need to make a decision now so I can get them before spring.
Your opinions are greatly appreciated


THESE FIRST 4 WHEELS ARE THE CCW T10's










THESE NEXT THREE PICS ARE THE CCW SP500








THESE NEXT THREE PICS ARE THE CCW 505A's

Well I like them all - a lot. And although the SP500's would be much easier to clean, I guess if I had to make a decision, I'd probably opt for the 505A's.

I like the CCW choices - you can't go wrong with any of them.

I think the T10s are the best wheel you can put on a C5 or C6.

I would be looking at them harder, but they're not coated to my knowledge which makes them too much of a pain in an *** to keep clean for a daily driver.

IMHO I would get the SP500’s. I like the 505A’s but not on silver. They look great on the EBZ you posted on the other hand. I know lol

T10s if you've got a big brake kit, but the 505As are pure hotness

Yes, you are correct...


(I am partial to the 505a's for obvious reasons...)

I think you should buy all three and try them out for a couple of weeks. Then decide which one you like the best and keep that set.

I will then volunteer to take one of the two sets you don't like and I'm sure another member will be willing to help you out with the third set.

Just doing my part !!

On a serious note. I don't think you could go wrong with any of them !

<------------

If you want a 19/20 combo then you rule out the SP500's. CCW's web site says they don't make the SP500's in 20". They do on the T10's, and 505's.
