Nice ! I'm thinking about the same setup (except I want 19"/19").

Post pics when you get them done and installed !

Thanks for all the kudos guys. I figure they will be waiting for me when I get home from Korea in 2 weeks.
Hopefully my C6 Z51 rotors and calipers will be there waiting for me too.

I will make sure I post plenty of pics.

I saw on the CCW website that brushed center finish is available. Yet I've never seen one. Does anyone have brushed finish with chrome lips on their CCW? I like contrasting color between lips and center so that there is a sense of depth to the wheels.

Also does anyone have a clear coat over the polished finish? Does that make cleaning easier?

CCW was powder coating the centers, but I think that is no longer being done.

They do not recommend clear coating, as it tends to make the shine look miky. Also, clears tend to yellow over time.

Non-coated wheels can be sanded and repaired.
