Question about new CCWs
I just received my new PS2/SP200 combos from big brown last night and before I bolt them on, two questions.
Should I "condition" them first? I have both Wheel Wax and Zaino.
Also, should I remove the thingees from the hub bolts since the back of the wheel is flat or does it matter? I thought I read they are put on at the factory so the rotors don't fall off. I put one wheel on for a test fit with a couple of lug nuts and it seemed to fit flush.
Probably not a big deal either way, I am just so damn excited to get get these babies on!
Thanks for any input.

I have CCW Classics. You must remove the retainers from the wheel studs! If you don't you will have a vibration in the steering that feels like an out of balance wheel. This fact is even on CCW's website. They may look flush but they are not. Those retainers are put on just for assembly when the cars are built. Mechanics never reinstall them when doing brake jobs.

Those clips are retainers to keep the rotors on the car while it's going down the assembly line, they should come off. And most definitely YES, ZAINO THOSE WHEELS!!! (or you'll be polishing em after every car wash!!)
