Why do I want different wheels?
I have the y2k wheels on my 2000 black coupe. I love how they look on other cars, but I always picture my car with some CCWs. Why do I like the y2k wheels better on T/As, FFR GTMs, and Camaros? I saw a third gen camaro with them the other day and I thought it was absolutely awesome. I even said to myself "those are nice wheels" before I could tell what they were, and when I got close the were y2ks!

after much debating on whether I should get some different wheels I saw a picture on CF and as soon as I saw these wheels I knew I HAD TO HAVE THEM.They are a 1,000% improvement on my old wheels and when ever I look at my car I aways think "I'm so pleased I got those wheels!". Here's a link to my before and after pics.
You WON'T regret your decision as long as you LOVE the style of your new wheels. Just my 0.02.

Pay no attention to the advice my wife gave me... She said, "Don't bother with CCW's... you don't need them. You already have wheels and tires."

I know, it's a sickness. The polished thinspokes are very nice looking factory wheels, although I don't like the look of the 17" front.
Hell, I was going to get some 18" thinspokes on my LT1 Z28 back in the day cause I liked them so much, but ended up with Fikse FM/5s.
It comes down to this, when I need new tires soon, and I get my tax refund, and I find a person selling 19x10 and 19x13 CCW 505As with Pilot Sports in mint condition, and local, then the stars are aligned.
They will be on this weekend.
Wheels make or break a car, and the deep dish look is just sinister.
