they are different wheels and it depends on what look you want. i love polished and feel CCW has the best polished wheel hands down. HRE has the nicest chrome wheels and Iforged has the nicest powdercoated wheels and awesome lips. hope this helps

except $$$$$ play a big part of the equation - CCW's in my opinion are by far the best $ value of the above mentioned AND the guys at CCW are by far the best to deal with

CCWs are excellent wheels and their service is first class. If you want a set of polished wheels, you won't go wrong getting CCWs.

After three years on the car I damaged the inside of one of my CCW's. I called Chip @ CCW; he said, "send it in and we will repair/replace the damged section." The wheel arrived at CCW on a Tuesday PM...Wednesday he called and said that it was finished and already heading back. Great Customer Service!

Whoooa, wait a minute. I could be seriously wrong here, but I thought I looked at CCW's website and I thought it was around $2400 per wheel?!? I mean I'm doing okay, but dropping 10k on just wheels, doesn't really appeal to me even though CCW's are the hottest freaking thing I have ever seen (I really like the 500 and 505's).

Straighten me out here, how much for just the wheels...say the 505's?

Thanks guys.

EDIT
Never mind, just went to their website and saw that they are 2595 per set....I'm a moron.

In my opinion they make the best wheels hands down as far as pricing, quality and service.

I have never read a bad comment about CCW here on the forum. My dealings with them have been great just like everyone said here on the forum.
I had considered Iforge, but heard lots of horror stories here about how they have poor service etc..and it was not just 1 or 2 Threads. HRE...they look like great wheels, but I just did not have the money to spend 5k or 6k on a set of wheels , that did not even include tires
