Default GREAT Experience @ CCW

This Saturday, I was in Daytona selling the wheels in my sig (HRE's). I had been looking at replacing these wheels for some time now. Nothing wrong with them, but I wanted to go bigger. I give a call to CCW @ around 3:00pm (they are in Daytona). John, (the owner) answers the phone and I ask if I could pass by and see some of his products. Keep in mind that it is Sat at around 3 to 4PM. I go by and he not only gives me (and 5 friends) a guided tour of the facilities, but explains how the machines work. I was about 95% sure that I was going to go with CCW's. After his hospitality and courtesy I was 100%! I went with the SP500's (I love the simple star design) in 19 inch all around. He gave me a great price on wheels and tires. I will post pics as soon as I get them in and on the car. I even got to make/cut my own first wheel on the machine! WOW! I would like to say THANK YOU to John from me and my friends for your hospitality and a great experience.

It is great to deal with people/vendors like this!

CCW has great customer service and John really takes pride in his work.

Because of this I have a set of CCW classics for racing and a set off 505As for the street.

John has always been extremely helpful when I've called. It's nice to know that there are still businesses (and people) out there like that.

CCW's for both my track tires and my street tires.

Will be selling my CCW track tires to go with a superlite setup for the track only.

When I ordered my wheels from them I wasn't able to get the tires I wanted anywhere, not in stock in the USA at the time. Somehow, they went out of their way and got me the tires direct from Michelin and delivered the mounted wheel/tire package right on time so I could go to Carlisle with them on the car. They promised me a delivery date and everything came exactly when they said. Their customer service is an example for all others to follow. Plus, the wheels look fantastic and bring compliments to my car constantly. They really make it and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again. BTW, I've got 18" polished Classics all around, 10" front and 11" rear on my Z06.
