The classics for me. Red and black combo looks tough, and the classics are sweet wheels.

Not to mention everybody and their brother have 505's, and chrome wheels on a red vette, how...... usual.

Hmm . . . I was, I believe, the second member here to get a set of the original 505A's when they first came out and I posted lots of pics. Over the years, many have emailed me with questions and for more pics and ended up buying them from CCW. I guess I'm one reason why "everyone's brother" has them now.

I still love them, though. I also love your black Classics.

Your Classics look good, but IMHO, I like the look of polished wheels over the black. Having said that, if I owned Classics, I would keep them. Do you really want to change them out?!?

Since I had OEM rims, when I selected aftermarket rims, I went with the CCW SP500's. You are more than welcome to join the 500 Club!

The black wheels look like your hub caps fell off.
