SP500's on torch... CCW is a great company and the wheels are AWESOME. The backs with 3" lip do have 3mm more front space then a stock C5 Z06, so plan on a bit of "stick out".

CCW makes awesome wheels and either one would be great. That said, you certainly can't go wrong with the 505s.

If you car is a coupe, go with the 505s. If it is a Z06 or FRC, go with the 500s.
