Here are is a pic of my new wheels with tires on them. Unfortunately there was a small issue that kept me from getting the wheels put on the car but that will be resolved soon.

Thanks
They were such a pain to keep clean though. They had a polished lip, polished inner barrels and brushed centers. No part of the rim was clear coated. I would have to spend at least 1hour on each rim to get them some what clean.
I ended up painting the centers and the inner barrels a satin black color. It now takes me 5 mins to clean each wheel... most of that time is spend cleaing the unclear coated polished lips.

It is work in progress, but here are my new CCW SP500's.
Front 18x9.5" with 245/40/18 and Rear 19x11" with 285/35/19 Goodyear F1 Supercar EMT's (same as the C6 with Z51)
My center caps were custom engraved by a good friend of mine.
