Default CCW Classics

I've got a set of CCW wheels on my car, or what I'm damn hoping are legit CCW wheels. They are definitely 3 piece with ARP bolts holding them together. What I'm surprised to see is that there are no identifying marks on them. The insides do not even have the ET inscribed. Is this normal for CCW wheels?

Many years ago it was mentioned that the serial numbers were on the inner rim (tire needed to be removed)

Much might depend on when they were fabricated, CCW has had a few owners. Post a snapshot mentioning what you believe them to be and measure the actual rim width (a tire dealer will have/should have a correct caliper that requires no tire removal), measure the back spacing and a correct offset can be calculated.

DO an inquiry using the current CCW web? Ask them

The ARP bolts hint that they've been serviced by someone. The PO?

I have documentation from 2004 showing what the previous owner paid for them, have to dig it up and see who the vendor was. Next time I pull one of them off the car I will take some measurements.

ARP nuts and bolts were an option for the CCW Classics. 40 bucks a rim if I remember.

I can’t remember if the center section of the rim has a serial number as well. Been a while since I’ve had mine apart to reseal. I need to do it again though.
